The Stone Roses (courtesy coolalbumreview.com) “I Am the Resurrection” and “Fools Gold” by the Stone Roses “…they stand side by side on the album and are inseparably brilliant. I went to Manchester University partly on an insane surge of nostalgia from when I discovered these mischievous mancs and their Madchester ways! God bless the Happy Mondays and Joy Division and all the other Tony Wilson ‘Factory’ recorded bands.” – […]

I have to be honest with you. When I first read Benedict’s Top Tunes on Two Paddocks, I didn’t notice anything particularly unusual – UNTIL he wrote about #8: “Hyperballad” by Björk. Americans might remember her for her awards show fashion sense more than her singing:

It’s been awhile since we checked the vintage vault for songs favored by Benedict Cumberbatch, hasn’t it? It’s not completely our fault, you know. He’s been a very busy man lately: filming in Boston with Johnny Depp and Erica McDermott as part of the Whitey Bulger biopic, Black Mass. supporting the Motor Neurone Disease & ALS Associations, asking fans […]

I felt quite lucky to have been able to go to London and see STID again, this time acompanied by the amazing 21st Century Symphony Orchestra and in the very impressive surrounding the Royal Albert Hall undeniably is.. The RAH filled up with a very diverse audience, we even spotted some Klingons in the stalls! Seeing […]

It may have not been a Top Tunes list, but music is acknowledged to be one of Benedict’s many passions, and his appreciation for Friendly Fires,* the English indie band […]

Luckily for fans, these events have resulted a virtual avalanche of articles, images, videos and eyewitness recaps to make every morning on Tumblr and Twitter feel like Christmas: Via Nicole […]

Recently, it was reported on Twitter that Benedict had attended the world premiere of James McCarthy’s “Codebreaker” piece at the Barbican. Considering the piece was in honor of Alan Turing, and Benedict is playing the mathematician in The Imitation Game, his spot in the audience shouldn’t have come as a surprise (or at least it wasn’t […]

How To Disappear Completely by Radiohead is such a difficult song for me. I listened to it for the very first time after Benedict had mentioned his really surreal and heart wrenching history with the song it in this wonderful Two Paddocks article: “The only reason for honing onto this track as opposed to any […]

Do you really love music? I mean, REALLY love music? I’m not asking you to tell me. It’s not a formal inquiry – I promise. I’m asking you to be honest – with you. You have your ear candy music – the stuff that makes you sing or dance or remember a moment at a […]
