Rebellious Jukebox: Siouxsie Sioux

To say that Siouxsie Sioux is as cool as fuck seems as unnecessary as saying that grass is green. When I first heard Cities In Dust coming out of the speakers it was strangely on a Now That’s What I Call Music compilation — it was a lonely place for a song of such quality, [...]

Rebellious Jukebox: Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I’ve loved everything that they have ever put out, but that first EP was the bollocks. Bang was the explosive creature you would expect it to be and has to be one of the best put-down songs ever  recorded — who the hell would want to be on the end of that? Mystery Girl gives [...]

Culture Vulture: Takeshi Kitano

My first introduction to Takeshi Kitano was through Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence where he plays the Japanese guard that everyone could like. At the time I didn’t know his name and have to admit that I was watching the film for a certain Mr David Bowie. Still his acting left a definite impression and when [...]

Take Art: Sarah Hillenberger

 
I came across this wonderful artist through stumbleupon. She uses some really interesting media to create her pieces and I have to admit that they are something I don’t think I have ever seen. I love innovation in art and coupled with such beautiful pieces it really does touch you both intellectually and emotionally. The [...]

Comicsphere: Freakangels Episode 7

This week a lot of the geographical world seemed to hang together more in a visual sense than just a notional one. We got to meet another of the Freakangels: Kirk. The story-telling thus far in both the art and the narrative has a real charm to it — it wraps you up and envelopes [...]

Rebellious Jukebox: New Fast Automatic Daffodils

I got this album as part of a twofer tape that a friend did for me — the other side having Swervedriver on it. It was fucking great. There was this trip that we were on to the National Gallery in London and the whole trip had pretty much been dominated by these mind-numbingly boring [...]

All About Me: Our Sister Site

Please check out our sister site — it houses some older pieces that were culled from a scattering of poetry and writing blogs and some newer pieces. All of it is worth a read and I would appreciate any comments that you have — there is something for everyone: poetry (free verse, haiku, sonnets, etc); [...]

Take Art: John Karlo Karger

Well, maybe I am some kind of retard but this picture is about the only information that I could find on this guy. I’ve seen similar images to the above one but I think it was the colouring in this one that particularly caught my eye. I found it in http://www.ideafixa.com/ and that is probably [...]

Take Art: Jason Lavesque

If you haven’t heard of this guy or checked out his site, where he has prints of his amazing art on sale, then you really need to head on over there and check him out. With some of the pieces you can see what some of his influences might be, purely in regards to subject [...]

Magazine Graveyard: Vox

I fail to remember exactly what happened to this magazine — I think it was swallowed up by one of it’s rivals — The NME if memory serves correctly. I know with these articles I should sit there on wiki and painstakingly research stuff but they are, after all, supposed to be opinion pieces and [...]
