I've just come back from a trip to beautiful Orkney, so it seems a good time to share a song I wrote many years ago about Scapa Flow, in my former life as a musician (under the alias God's Little Eskimo). Have a listen here:

Out now! On the latest episode of the Boxing Movie Podcast I'm joined by author Kieran Mulvaney to discuss an absolute classic. Raging Bull (1980) was directed by Martin Scorsese, and starred Robert De Niro as middleweight champion Jake LaMotta. The greatest

As this (hopefully) means new Boards Of Canada material is on the way, here's my article from a few years back in which I try (and generally fail) to adequately explain the sinister brilliance of their 2002 masterpiece 'Geogaddi':

Ghost Cat Anzu (2024). Combining a coming of age tale with Japanese folklore in the style of 'My Neighbour Totoro', this adds an unexpected detour into the underworld (via a disused toilet) & a horde of rampaging demons.

I recently made a guest appearance on the Modern Horror Podcast to discuss Prano Bailey-Bond's excellent 2021 film CENSOR (with a bit of general Video Nasty chat too). You can find it here, and probably wherever else you like to get your podcasts from, too:

50 years ago today, Nicolas Roeg's remarkable, haunting film of 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' was released in the UK. While Bowie inevitably gains the most attention with an iconic performance, he has absolutely terrific support from Rip Torn, Buck Henry, and a fantastic Candy Clark.

Incredible work from the Prince Charles Cinema - extremely strongly seconding that these are among the best thrillers ever made. They really reward attentive viewings and are endlessly brilliant.

40 years ago today, William Friedkin's TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. was released in the USA - a thrilling but withering takedown of sociopathic machismo on both sides of the law. If you'd like to read more, here's a piece I wrote on it a while back:
