What’s all this, then?

I'm Darren, a writer who likes to muse about music, films and TV, plus conventions, toys, books, soundtracks and whatever else takes my fancy.

I don't have too many rules with this thing. The blogs take a few forms, from quick reviews and opinions to lengthier pieces on subjects that capture my mood.

Feel free to post comments, or you can contact me directly.

Thanks for reading.

This is just a small slither of last night's set by @GingerWildheart & The Sinners, at 229 in London, but that satisfied smile reviews the gig better than any of my prattle could. So the words are gonna have to wait - as an inspirational, completely flummoxed genius once said. pic.twitter.com/99xsgQ6Ejh

It's high time that Twitter gave trending names 'not dead' certification. I hate: a) clicking these damned things with my heart in my mouth, and b) sifting through results that are 90 percent expressions of relief.

How not to package a CD. This plastic bubble bag from @AmazonUK isn't recyclable in my area, and it doesn't provide good protection as the item is free to slide around. It must take up more space than it needs to on the delivery van as well. The whole thing is bizarre. pic.twitter.com/W3aXkt8A6P

Am I watching telly or flying a plane? Some days I wonder. (Actually, I use the ejector seat a lot.) pic.twitter.com/C3WyDA4Bd1
