Black Archives, Strangers in Space, Busting Balls mainly. Former Westeros charcoal. Too old, too Welsh, too bad.
The Marvel Timeline incarnate.

13.02.2026 09:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0All of Us Strangers is my favourite film of the decade by a long way - after that I had to track back through his career.
That last shot leading into the credits married to that song is a moment that I keep thinking about and going back to.
Yeah, Iโve had the same thing, though with different numbers.

BEAT OF MY DRUM by NICOLA ROBERTS (2011)
Small x xenomania: Nicola kicks off her solo career with the addictive, futurist genre mashing that made the best of Girls Aloud so compelling.

The notable former pupils section on Wikipedia is absolutely barren, used to have some guy who was an extra in Black Hawk Down. So it might even be me, and Iโm pretty much a nobody.
Mark Labbett off The Chase did some supply teaching there though.
Itโs the Eternal Cycle of Bond.

WE ALL GO BACK TO WHERE WE BELONG by R.E.M. (2011)
One last turn and wave before they headed into the sunset. Leaning into the emotion of an ending was absolutely the right call.

Which are the five McCoy stories you absolutely need in your life? No particular order. Go!
Delta and the Bannermen
Remembrance of the Daleks
The Happiness Patrol
The Greatest Show in the Galaxy
Ghost Light
The Also People or Conundrum, depending on my mood. Also very fond memories of sneaking reads of Revelation when I shouldโve been revising for exams and going straight through Original Sin in one sitting on first read.

THIS IS AMERICA by CHILDISH GAMBINO (2019) (11 pts)
Audacious in how it uses musical genres as a storytelling tool, and unsettling in its confrontation of what seem to be permanently unresolved American issues. One of the decadeโs great videos too.

SHE SAID by PLAN B (2010)
One of the smartest albums and changes of direction of the decade: meta concept meets genuine songwriting chops.

BURY A FRIEND by BILLIE EILISH (2019)
What does the monster under the bed want? Gleefully none-more-goth horror pop, all the more terrifying for the hazy nightmare production.

CALL ME MAYBE by CARLY RAE JEPSEN (2011)
The thrill of putting yourself out there, with no time to even think of rejection. Probably the most uncomplicated pop joy of the decade.

HOLLYWOOD by MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS (2010)

Urgent and thrilling, but what pushes it into the list is the genius Morse code bit leading into the chorus.

NA NA NA (NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA) - My Chemical Romance (2010)
Gerard Way synthesises his careers with a record even more shamelessly comic book than The Black Parade, right down to speech bubble lyrics. Gloriously ludicrous from the title down.
