Burt Bacharach passed away last month on the 8th of February at the age of 94. I didn’t acknowledge this then, but when I saw a recently released collection called *The Songs of Bacharach and Costello* I thought I’d write about one of Costello’s finest works, together with the inimitable Burt.

“Don’t Worry Darling” has a few things going for it: Competent actors, superb set design, a stellar soundtrack and creepy score. Too bad that the story is so devoid of originality that it’s little more than a pastiche of psychological thriller tropes.

Losing your heroes is hard. You never expect it, because to you they will live forever. And one day, they don’t. On the 22 of February this year, we lost Mark Lanegan. A great hero of mine. A man who’d been through so much and lived to tell the tale when so many others perished.
