Jingle and Shrek
Jingle Hell
Tariq Goddard | Quietus | 6th December 2021
Curmudgeonly reviews of the latest festive releases by a disappointed music critic. Full of excellent insults, such as: "When it comes to meaningless trimmings and po-faced renditions that pack the emotional punch of the narrator in a building society advert, Gary Barlow is in his undisputed element, dispassionately attending to every commercial angle like a sniper covering a burning building" (2,929 words)

Stream of consciousness account about spending seven hours at an online academic symposium about the Shrek films.
