There was a time when I was seeing plays in London for £10 a seat. I was seeing people like Jude Law, Judi Dench, David Tennant, Daniel Radcliffe and Catherine Tate in starring roles. This was ten years ago. Post-pandemic prices at one of the theatres I used to visit are now £70 for the worst seats.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

I wonder if these people would be arrested for blocking traffic the same way Just Stop Oil were.

We got to write about Maddy Hellstrom's new single 'Sophomore', a meeting of minds, music and romance. This track is influenced by Maddy's love of African soukous, with her rapid guitar performances and dynamic drum layering from producer Christian Medice.

Someone asked me recently if I use AI to write the pieces on my website. I was so insulted. The very foundation of Moths and Giraffes was built on being sick of seeing lazy write-ups for independent artists.

I will never, ever use AI to write anything you see on my website.

Ah I get it! My first one was Aliens so I tend to rate that No. 1. The basketball scene in Resurrection is still top notch 👌

It's definitely not without its problems and is nowhere near the best Fincher film but I think it has more going for it than people give it credit for.

Woah hey I'm a big Alien fan. I have a soft spot for Alien 3, I loved the idea of them killing the alien with virtually nothing but their surroundings. I could never rate that above Resurrection! It's a shame Neil Blomkamp's film was never made.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

In the run-up to Californian duo Left Tracks releasing their new mini-album 'LT2', we took a moment to explore all the gorgeous sounds this 16 minutes of music has to offer. Our Q&A with DI LEO and Sun Kin goes into their improvisational creative process!

BREAKING: The police have confirmed they won't be charging any of the violent far-right rioters with terrorism because they only do that for grandmas in wheelchairs who hold up signs they don't like ♥️

While they arrest pensioners for wanting a genocide to end? Fucking unbelievable.

I found Garbage during their wilderness period, so I'd missed out on seeing them tour Bleed Like Me, but I made up for it in 2012, 2015 and 2018! I'll be listening to this band when I'm old, I love them so much. I don't want them to go 😩
