Best Film 2025 - F1
A film many thought impossible and goes beyond Top Gun comparisons. Pitt’s never-was tale is threaded into the real F1 grid so well it is almost believable. Masterfully kinetic IMAX cinematography & sound. Fun & engaging even for F1 anoraks like me. #f1

Gig of the Year - Death From Above 1979
A legendary two-piece that were tight, explosive and hugely fun all at once. A full play-through of their debut LP dance-punk collision was supreme. Caught them in April and was mesmerised. Concert video from later in 2025. #dfa1979

HEALTH double-down on recent releases with an even more focused album, that brings desperation to their anxiously heavy industrial palette. Tight and at times brutal, this expansion pack continues to celebrate commiseration in the best way. #conflictdlc #health

Rhian & Hester return with a more bandmates to create a raw, fun, messy, horny, heartfelt, clever record that delivers an unapologetic love album wrapped up in fuzzy post-punk. #moistuizer

Trent & Atticus have soundtracking down to a fine art yet still manage to elevate source material far beyond what it deserves. Grittier and much darker than Daft Punk’s lauded predecessor, this effort throbs with dark menace and danceable beats. #tron #nin

Albums of the Year - Nine Inch Nails, Wet Leg, and HEALTH
Three favourites of 2025 are NIN’s disturbingly propulsive Tron:Ares Soundtrack, Wet Leg’s confident sophomore effort Moisturizer, and HEALTH’s crushingly dystopian Conflict DLC #nineinchnails #wetleg #health
Winning his first title by 2pts to give us a new World Champion in Lando Norris. A huge battle all year with the Brit coming out ahead of a surging Verstappen and longtime leader in team mate Piastri. McLaren win their second consecutive constructors crown too. Roll on the 2026!

A very impressive season for Rafael Camara who sealed the F3 title with a win at the penultimate round in Hungary. #f3 #camara
F1 Half-Season Recap (2025)
Piastri has the edge over the first 12 races. Norris running him close, Max fighting a poor car, Russell sniping good results. A dominant McLaren, self-destructing Red Bull, underwhelming Ferrari. Kimi & Hadjar showing talent. Hulk podium! Oscar will win the title. #f1
A massively multi-lingual LLM for open use in the public domain? A very interesting step. #llm #ai

Quick TV Review - Murderbot (Season 1)
Sardonic sentient cyborgs? Yup. Based on the Martha Wells novels, Skarsgard is the central SecUnit who has to deal with inconvenient human emotions in a near future (off)world. Takes a little while but this show gets there. #murderbot

Ferrari have been the dominant brand so far and while new BOP changes may make it tough for their teams to win races in the second half of 2025, I feel the No.51 will stay on top of the table and win this year’s crown. #wec #ferrari
So far this season has been dominated by Palou who won at the speedway and 60% of all races. Kirkwood has been impressive while Penske and Andretti have been very poor. Not the dogfight I expected, a walkover so far instead! #indycar
Quick Movie Review - F1 The Movie (2025)
Kosinski takes his Maverick formula to F1 and it works. Brad is great, but it’s the camerawork and sound that impresses. Kinetic, pulsating, breathless. A typical Hollywood story, but stunningly unique action. See it on IMAX. #F1

The rise of AI search and the end of the age of Google dominance?

In a fast and relatively incident-free race, the Ferraris dominated once again but this time it was the #83 privateer outfit piloted by Kubica, Ye, and Hanson who won out. #kubica #wec #lemans24
Motorsport Prediction - Le Mans 24hr 2025
After a stunning front row lockout by Cadillac ahead of the more fancied Ferrari, Toyota & Porsche squads, I’m picking the #38 piloted by Bamber, Bourdais, & Button to win the US marque’s first ever victory at Circuit de la Sarthe. #wec #lemans24 #hypercar
Quick TV Review - Andor (Season 2)
This is peak Star Wars. Compelling, moving, timely. A complex web of narrative around grounded characters. Luna & Skarsgard are immense. A tragic & forceful tale of hope and resistance without any need of the Force. #andor #starwars
