As of February 2012, I've decided to stop updating this formally as a portfolio. Thanks for stopping by and reading what I've posted; I decided it was best for me to move on from this and focus on more creative work, instead of documenting simple in-the-job writing.

Sound Screen: DVD review - Live at the Olympic Auditorium (Suicidal Tendencies)

It's taken the band a long five years to get this DVD published - at least, you assume that from the fact it was recorded in 2005 - so it must be worth the wait.

Well, perhaps. Check here to see what I think.

Sound Screen: Music review - Hologram Jams (Jaguar Love)

Okay, I'll admit it: I've heard some stinking albums in my time. There. There's the hook. Happy now? You'll find out more if you read about it.

Sound Screen: Music review - Mob Rules/Live Evil (Black Sabbath)

A double-header picks up from the Heaven and Hell review I did a couple of weeks ago. Are the newest two worth a listen?

Sound Screen: Spotify Sunday - The Evolution of Incubus

Another Sunday, another playlist for Sound Screen, a website I plan on reviving fully soon after my return from the US. As it stands, it's run by a bunch of people - myself included - with too much to do to give it the justice it deserves. Luckily, I'll be handing it over to a great writer in future weeks in order to secure its safety in my time away; until then, I'll be doing all I can (expect a cleared backlog of reviews in the meantime).

Click here for my newest playlist with, perhaps, my longest accompanying article.

New Jersey Soccer Group (Millburn Magic): UK Standouts Join Magic Veterans on Roster

In my first of many press releases for the New Jersey Soccer Group (albeit from the comfort of my home in Leeds, before I make the big switch), I talk about transatlantic transactions with the Millburn Magic.

You can read more about it here.

Another compilation for a film comes from the brain of Drew Barrymore, who created it as a mix tape. Is it any good?

Another week, another couple of reviews, this time starting with the 17th studio album by British underground treasure Robyn Hitchcock with a more approachable release. Does it compromise his style?

Sound Screen: Music review - Heaven and Hell [Deluxe Edition] (Black Sabbath)

Ozzy is Gone. Long live Ozzy. Oh wait, Ronnie James Dio is here. What's more, he's really good! Was 1980 a good year for the new face of Black Sabbath?

Find out here.

Sound Screen: Music review - Tales from the Doombox (Subsource)

So we have another clone of The Prodigy. Or do we? Who knows? If only there was something that looked into a release of some sort in a researching kind of way, responding with comments that explained its worth.

Oh wait, here's one that I did.
