Itโ€™s the descending little triangle or some kind of chimes toward the end that hooks me every time.

As you listen to MAGA and the right ridiculously frame the war with Iran as some sort of religious duty to be carried out, it's helpful to remember how far away they have drifted from anything resembling a spiritual guide.

Saw it in a packed cinema as part of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Gras Film Festival and it was a big hit. People were rating it 4 and 5 out of 5. Good to see our diverse communities represented on screen without it being about Gay basing/AIDS/Coming Out etc.

Just finished Merrily We Roll Along, the filmed 2025 version of the stage musical and it is wonderful. Great musical to begin with but the cast and production are first rate. A great introduction to #StephenSondheim, if you need one, or a reminder of how great he was.

Genius | Song Lyrics & Knowledge Genius is the worldโ€™s biggest collection of song lyrics and musical knowledge.

The supposed lyrics to the new Morrissey album on Genius.com are, so far, not the lyrics. Iโ€™ve compared two songs so far, Lester Bangs and Many Icebergs Ago.
