1988 – A ceasefire between Iran and Iraq takes effect after 8 years of war. Mikhail Gorbachev becomes Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, effectively head of state of the Soviet Union. Benazir Bhutto is named Prime Minister of Pakistan, the first female leader of a Muslim country. The news was all overContinue reading “1988: The Year In Music”

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Diamond Is Unbreakable” Episodes Ranked
We’ve moved away from the Stand-of-the-week adventure of “Stardust Crusaders” and into the small town mystery of “Diamond Is Unbreakable” … and I think this might be the best JoJo Part yet! There are twenty-five episodes in total (if you combine the multi-part stories), so how would I rank them all? You can check outContinue reading “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Diamond Is Unbreakable” Episodes Ranked”
“In The Court Of The Crimson King” – Songs Ranked
I always knew King Crimson were special, but now that I’m more familiar with their discography I can confidently say they were one of the best, most pioneering bands of all time. My personal favourite album is actually their debut – “In The Court Of The Crimson King”. These five songs are (mostly) fantastic …Continue reading ““In The Court Of The Crimson King” – Songs Ranked”
1987: The Year In Music
1987 – Stock markets around the world crash on Black Monday. Margaret Thatcher becomes the first British Prime Minister in 160 years to win a third consecutive term. Aretha Franklin becomes the first female artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not much happened this year … so let’s hopeContinue reading “1987: The Year In Music”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Recipe For Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 3)
“Recipe For Turnabout” was supposed to be a case from “Justice For All” but it ended up getting cut and repurposed for “Trials & Tribulations”. It fits neatly into the third case slot … but does it continue the trend of unfortunate Phoenix Wright third cases? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categoriesContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Recipe For Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 3)”
1986: The Year In Music
1986 – Space Shuttle Challenger explodes 73 seconds after lift-off from Cape Canaveral, killing all 7 crew members. The Chernobyl nuclear power station explosion sees 31 die and radioactive contamination across Western Europe. The World Health Organization announces first global effort to combat AIDS. Yikes … hopefully the music can raise our spirits! I’ll beContinue reading “1986: The Year In Music”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Stolen Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 2)
“The Stolen Turnabout” is a filler case, no doubt about it, but it remains one of the fanbase’s favourite filler cases in the series. That being said, I have my personal gripes … I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This will give aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Stolen Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 2)”
1985: The Year In Music
1985 – Mikhail Gorbachev replaces Konstantin Chernenko as Soviet leader. An 8.1 earthquake in Mexico City kills an estimated 10,000 and leaves 250,000 homeless. The charity single “We Are the World” releases. Yikes … It’s a good thing Live Aid was also in this year, otherwise it would’ve sucked! I’ll be looking at the popularContinue reading “1985: The Year In Music”
Led Zeppelin IV – Every Song Ranked
Led Zeppelin released so many great albums in their day, but one stands head and shoulders above the others – “Led Zeppelin IV” remains a personal favourite, and few Rock albums have ever topped it. I’ll be ranking all eight tracks thanks to the suggestion by commenter “Daniel” – make sure to get in contactContinue reading “Led Zeppelin IV – Every Song Ranked”
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Stardust Crusaders” Episodes Ranked
Gone are the wishy-washy powers of Hamon — it’s Stand time, baby! “Stardust Crusaders” is a much more episodic season of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure than the others, which I liked … at first. The varying quality of Stands and storylines means this season is perfect for a ranking list, so I’ll do just that forContinue reading “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Stardust Crusaders” Episodes Ranked”
