In my initial dive into King Crimson’s work, two albums stood out to me – their debut (of course), and “Red”. This excellent collection of five hard-hitting songs was apparently Curt Cobain’s favourite album, and it’s quickly climbing my ranks too. How would I rank every song? You can check out some of my relatedContinue reading ““Red” (King Crimson) – Songs Ranked”

1989: The Year In Music
1989 – Thousands of Chinese crowd into Beijing’s Tiananmen Square cheering students demanding greater political freedom. This leads to the Tiananmen Square Massacre, as Chinese troops open fire on pro-democracy supporters. Elsewhere, Germans begin demolishing the Berlin Wall. Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and US President George H.W. Bush declare the Cold War over. A prettyContinue reading “1989: The Year In Music”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 4)
“Turnabout Beginnings”, much like the first case of the game, is a flashback case that puts Mia Fey at the helm once more. Over the course of a harrowing trial, we start to understand the horrible events that set the narrative of the present day into motion. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinctContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 4)”
“Murders On The Yangtze River” – Every Case Ranked
I seem to be on a hot streak of Ace Attorney-adjacent games at the moment – at first it was “Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane” which had a magical focus, and now “Murders On The Yangtze River” gave a historical Chinese spin on the genre. Time will tell which of the two I prefer,Continue reading ““Murders On The Yangtze River” – Every Case Ranked”
1988: The Year In Music
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”
