Araki doesn’t always give his Stands names that relateContinue reading ““Stardust Crusader” Stands With Musical Names”
20 More Random Songs Ranked
Like how I did the first time, I’m going to rank 20 random songs from my “Liked Songs” playlist on Spotify (which has almost 4000 songs) to highlight some tracks that may not have otherwise seen much love.

My Favourite Lyric On Every Bowie Song

Since this isn’t like my usual rankings, I’ll justContinue reading “My Favourite Lyric On Every Bowie Song”

“Moonage Daydream” Is Fantastic
Usually I hold my verdict until the end of the review, but since this will just be a quick one I’ll come outright and say it – “Moonage Daydream” blew me away. Brett Morgen managed to make a cinematic experience rather than a documentary, and any expectations I had going in were smashed. It’s suchContinue reading ““Moonage Daydream” Is Fantastic”
