Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not turns seventeen!

 Seventeen years ago I was in my final year of school when a friend asked me if I'd heard "that song about a dance floor". Bored at home later, probably while on MSN (remember that?) I downloaded the Arctic Monkeys first single "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" from Limewire (another remember that?) And for the next two minutes and fifty three seconds I was blown away by what I heard & even though they're a much changed band these days I'm still blown away by each and every release. Below I've ranked the songs from that massive debut album in ascending order: 13) Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But 12) Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured 11) Still Take You Home 10) Riot Van  9) Dancing Shoes  8) You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me 7) From The Ritz To The Rubble 6) I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor  5) When The Sun Goes Down 4) Fake Tales Of San Francisco 3) The View From The Afternoon  2) ...

My Top 10 Movies Of The Year 2022

 10) JACKASS 4.5 Yes Jackass isn't winning any awards but watching movies should be about entertainment and when deciding on my list this was one of the first movies which came to mind as it was the most I laughed all year in the cinema. All of the old gang are back together (bar Bam) plus there's some new blood who throw themseleves into the crazy stunts and mayhem seamlessly. After all these years you'd think the pranks the guys pull would be tiresome but this movie is just such a fun ride from start to finish. 9) SMILE This movie is probably the most well marketed movie of the year. They put actors in sporting event crowds across the USA in character with that smile freaking everyone out not knowing what the hell was going on. Crazy effective and whipped up a storm for the movie release.  The movie itself is a cut above most standard horror movies as it doesn't just rely on jump scares for it's big moments but it creates and sense of terror and also awkwardness f...

My Top 10 Albums Of The Year 2022

 Something a bit different here. Below I've ranked my favourite albums that were released in 2022. It's just a bit of fun and of course everyone will have their own opinion. Drop me a message with your thoughts or if I've missed something BIG! I'm always on the look out for new music. My top 10 movies of 2022 will be uploaded tomorrow. HNY! 10) KASABIAN - THE ALCHEMIST'S EUPHORIA It took me a while to vibe with the new look Kasabain. Gone are the indie band we once knew and if I'm being honest theis feels so much like a Serge solo record  I don't know why it isn't. With lots of dance tracks I think these new tunes would be amazing live and my favourite on the record was The Wall 9) HARRY STYLES - HARRY'S HOUSE I like music that's interesting and I feel that Harry Styles is putting out music that is just that. Gone are the manufactured One Direction days and here we have a album where no song is similar. I'm not a masisve fan of pop music but ...
