New York in the 1990s was off-kilter, unfiltered, and out of focus. We – artists, musicians, punks, underground dwellers – lived in neighbourhoods the police largely let police themselves, below the radar of mainstream society, carving lives out of the city’s bedrock with our bloody fists. Long before the immediate feedback loop of social media, our creative ideas bubbled in a cauldron of diversity and inspiration until they could no longer be contained. Matt Verta-Ray and I spent endless days into nights playing music,…

In the infinite high desert of Utah, a poignantly moving scene unfolds: 14-year-old Mark is in his sleeping bag, into which a soulmate he has found, and loves, creeps with stealth. This is not some idyllic hiking holiday, it is an extended boot camp – at once punitive and supposedly curative – to which Mark and the girl – Lainey, aged 17, with scarred wrists – have been dispatched by their parents, for behaviour considered beyond control; in Mark’s case striking a friend, then his mother. But this is a stolen moment of…

I’d see him around town at various functions and gigs, always with his partner, Victoria Mary Clarke, always sat on their own, no one bothering with them. Although emanating a dark charisma, he looked tired and sad to me. There appeared to be a cloud of depression and lonesomeness above him, even when surrounded by well-wishers and hangers-on.So one night I went up and introduced myself, and we just got on. It…

The Pogues – Boys from the County Hell (1984)The Pogues: Boys from the County Hell (live on The Tube, 1985) – videoIn his 2001 memoir, MacGowan expressed frustration about the production on the Pogues’ 1984 debut album, Red Roses for Me, lamenting that the “thunderous sound” of the band’s concerts didn’t translate into the studio. Luckily, Boys from the County Hell teeters on the right side of ramshackle, as the song’s racing tempo, lively tin whistle and accordion and duel-at-dawn banjo ambience create an aura of jaunty…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was the best superhero movie of 2023 and earned every penny of its $690 million global haul. As anyone who’s seen it will attest, it more than deserves this success, delivering an astonishingly beautiful and kinetic adventure packed to the brim with Spider-Man variants that left the similarly multiversal The Flash in the dust. Of all the many Spider-People packed into practically every frame, there’s one breakout star that turned heads. This is Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk. He’s voiced…
