What is this?

Until the year 2028 (?) I will be writing at least one review per week (could be an oldie or something new). I do have a list of 260 favorite songs and 260 favorite films. I will use a random number generator to decide which film to view, which song to listen to. New releases (at least 4 a month), physical media, guest contributions from friends and more will also be available too!
