Hello, hope you're having a good Thursday and week generally so far - which is about to be that little bit better as I give you another great hidden gem from my own personal archives with this week's Pop Essays. So without any ado let's get to this week's entry... Artist: V feat. Tom and … Continue reading Pop Essays #19: V feat. Tom and Danny from McFly, ‘Chills In The Evening’
15th November 2010. That was the last time, almost 10 years to the day, that McFly last released a full studio album. Said album - Above the Noise - is probably still up there with Spice Girls' Forever and The Human League's Crash as a potentially brilliant but wonkily executed tap into an unexpected territory … Continue reading #CrazyStupidAlbum: McFly (@mcflymusic) – ‘Young Dumb Thrills’
Whilst their arena tour that followed their well recieved comeback show at London's O2 last November has - for obvious reasons - been put back, some good news came for McFly fans on Monday. Chiefly, that for the first time in a decade, following their tempestuous on again/off again antics with their original label Universal … Continue reading A definitive ranking of all of McFly’s singles.
ARTIST: McFly SONG: Touch the Rain SO ALEX, WHY IS THIS YOUR SONG OF THE WEEK? Well well well. Just where do you start with this last couple of weeks?

The days when a multitude of well known pop acts would release singles on the same day, all hoping to race up to number one in an intense … Continue reading #SongoftheWeek: Boybanders Go Solo Special
ARTIST: McFly SONG: Rockin' Robin ALBUM: Sorry's Not Good Enough/Friday Night (2006, Universal Island) OK. So the Michael Jackson classic isn't strictly a Christmas song. But because there is a robin in it - and one that I imagine is perched on a wintry branch, sporting an Elvis quiff and leather jacket with a tiny … Continue reading Christmas Song Advent Calendar 2017: Day 12
Hello all - and happy Easter! Today's blog post is being powered to you on these bad boys... (*with mouthful of egg* I digress.) It's been a busy couple of weeks, so firstly a few things - I've gone a little bit more upmarket as you can see, and now have a full domain name … Continue reading #CrazyStupidGig: McBusted (@mcbusted) – Most Excellent Adventure Tour (O2 Arena, London, 4th April 2015)
Hi all, So I've just returned from several days in glorious Richmond upon Thames with my sister and brother in law - more on that later. But I wanted to do something a little bit fun for this new post. I love Tom Fletcher (he of McFly and McBusted fame, and viral wedding speech ubër … Continue reading 50 Questions (in the almost style of Tom Fletcher)
