It’s not exactly news I will grant you that the 80s are back in a big way. At the moment we have all the New Romantics-inspired synth pop we can listen to, the return of acid washed jeans and Hypercolor-esque Tshirts, the Rubik’s Cube restored to icon status … Continue Reading

EMMY on down: nominations for the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are in!
… and Jimmy Kimmel wore pyjamas to announce them. As you do.
