New Music 10/2025 – Kim Gordon, Everything But the Girl
Former bassist-singer of Sonic Youth makes ugly but compelling noise on a solo record; a comeback album from the English pop duo.
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick – Book Review
My first Philip K. Dick novel turned out to be an inventive, fast-paced mind-bender, throwing out ideas and philosophical questions like a tennis ball machine.
Donnie Brasco – Film Review
After re-watching the first three seasons of Fargo, I still had a craving for some crime drama. This 1997 movie, based on a true story of an FBI agent who infiltrated a New York City Mafia family during the 1970s, more than satisfied it.
Candlelight: Best of Hans Zimmer @ Collingwood Town Hall
Though I went in with modest expectations, this string quartet tribute to Hans Zimmer turned out to be delightful, and the venue wasn’t too shabby either.
1001 Frames – Film Review
An experimental thriller shot in Iran, 1001 Frames feels universal as it explores the abuse of power that could have happened anywhere in the world. A good pick from the Melbourne International Film Festival line-up.
The Night of the Hunter – Film Review
This 1955 Southern Gothic thriller turned out to be a lot more bizarre than I anticipated, an eerie blend of film noir and children’s fairy tale, with a villain for the ages.
Mr Mercedes by Stephen King – Book Review
Stephen King’s supernatural-free foray into crime fiction may not offer anything new, but I still enjoyed his take on a good old-fashioned thriller.
