"Actress is the moniker under which DJ Darren Cunningham works under. This album, “R.I.P." is his first full-length studio album, previously he’s done some work with Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and also with Gorillaz front-man Damon Albarn, but now Cunningham has decided to work on his own.

"Probably my favorite album of the past 5 years. My one and only issue is that they claim they don't like Joy Division, despite sounding a fair bit like a poppier, more modern Joy Division ..." Reply

"Although I really enjoy the other albums, I feel more personally attached to this one. It has had more influence than people expected (look at Justice, Gesaffelstein, and the electro punk of M.I.A. and Death Grips), and it was hated basically because they didn’t do what people expected them to do..."

"I love Japan. As someone who cut his musical teeth in the period from 1979-1984, Japan stood out for me as being exactly what I was looking for in a band: they were extremely talented musicians, they (mostly) ploughed their own furrow, and they looked gorgeous! They got a lot of criticism at the ..." [+] Reply

"Pulp's final album tends to be overlooked, probably because it wasn't released during the Brit pop era, or maybe because it wasn't that successful. Having said that, we love life, is a good record.

"It was only recently I learned of the sad passing of FOW founding member Adam Schlesinger in April 2020 of COVID related complications so I’ve going back over the FOW catalogue I so adored through the 90’s and early 2000’s.
