We often ask ourselves “what are our absolute favorite rock songs ever?”. We don’t mean a well curated list that would fit best our personalities, only the rock songs that we enjoy most to hear. As of today:

1. Life’s what you make it – Talk Talk – The colour of Spring 1986
2. Heroes – David Bowie – Heroes 1977 (not the 2002 remaster!)
3. Mary Jane’s last dance – Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Greatest Hits 1993
4. Flesh for Fantasy – Billy Idol – Rebel Yell 1983
5. Sweet Child O’ Mine – Guns’n Roses – Apetite for Destruction 1987

This list could always and probably will change over time. However, we’re not sure that any song can ever dethrone “Life’s what you make it”, it’s almost music perfection to us.

So far, Freak Show has been the AHS season that took the longest for us to watch. Not that we didn’t enjoy it, we just needed to find the right time to watch our weekly episode. Freak show isn’t for any time of the day, it’s not exactly the kind of thing to watch when you eat… So, late Friday night was our freak show time and we enjoyed it that way.

We both found this season heavier to watch, probably because watching human deformities for 50 minutes is something we’re less accustomed to than people getting slaughtered for 2 hours. I know, it’s weird.

However, the amazing casting, led by Jessica Lange brought an incredible level of quality to the entire show. Of course, Sarah Paulson is amazing and all the freaks were very convincing, but a difficult character like Dandy Mott is also perfectly portrayed by Finn Wittrock.

We particularly enjoyed the opening theme of the show and the stunning performance of Jessica Lange, singing a cover of David Bowie’s Life on Mars while the freaks run the set in the background.

So, it’s with mixed feelings that we move on to the next season. On one hand, we’re sad to leave behind those characters we’ve grown to love, but we’re also relieved to start a season that’s a bit lighter to watch.
