Label Volunteer, Isaac Cave is back with his views on part two of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. A while back, I reviewed the first part of this series starring everybody’s favourite half mortal half witch, Sabrina Spellman and summarised it as a delightfully entertaining show with well-rounded characters and gothic settings. So, when part two showed up on my Netflix recommendations, I was thrilled to see how the characters would develop in the next chapter of the story. Unfortunately, my uncharacteristic optimism was dashed by the last episode and it’s a shame to say that part two of The Chilling…
Charlie Metcalfe brings you a review of artist James Blake’s latest project. Assume Formdropped in January this year and, as with most of Blake’s work, needed some time to settle. His unusual tones can often leave listeners with the impression of an unfinished piece of work, discordant and unpolished. Give them time, and the chords organise themselves into something truly special. 2019 brought a whole new host of varied features from the English singer/songwriter/producer, allowing the true range of his talent to be displayed. Metro Boomin, Travis Scott, and André 3000 all answered Blake’s call. This added dimension of…
Volunteer, Tom Short, shares his journey to reaching his greatest achievement. 2011. Caerleon Comprehensive School Parents Evening. My parents go to the twelfth and final appointment of my teachers. I can tell when I get home, I’m already in a heap of trouble and I won’t be seeing my friends for a while. I left my English teacher to last as I genuinely thought it would be my best appointment or one of them at least. I couldn’t have been any further from the truth. I was absolutely torn apart by my English teacher, Miss Roberts, who stated that I wouldn’t…

Returning volunteer, Ada Ughanwa, shares why you should get involved in LSU Media. I joined Media this year and it was the best decision that I made! Getting involved really adds to the excitement of university life and allows you to make many lifelong memories. Media is one of the many sections that you can join at Loughborough, especially, if it’s a career path you want to pursue after university.

Returning volunteer, Meg Jocson Ong discusses her journey on choosing her degree. Before choosing my A-levels back in 2014, my careers counsellor tasked our year group to think of where we want to be after college and after university. More specifically, what degree we wanted to take in order to take us to our dream career. Easier said than done, it was a little hard for me to pick a degree I wanted to commit to for the next 3 to 4 years of my academic life. I’m not going to lie; I had a very hard time picking a degree. I…
