Tech Review: Samsung NX200 Camera
I’m not what you might call a ‘technical’ photographer, I don’t like to get bogged down in the numbers aspect of photography, and my favourite thing about digital cameras is their ability to keep experimenting ‘on the fly’, until something you are really happy with.
Film Review: Elles
In Elles, Juliette Binoche plays Anne, a journalist for Elle magazine in Paris. She undertakes a job investigating prostitution amongst female students struggling to pay their tuition fees.
Record Review: Clock Opera – Ways to Forget
The shortcut/safe description used for any guitar band seems to be “they sound like Coldplay and Foals”. It seems somewhat lazy for the music press to tag Clock Opera with the same label, you need to open your ears and eke out all the intricacies on their labour of love debut album ‘Ways to Forget’.
Live Review: Alex Winston @The Knitting Factory, NY
Alex Winston is, and always will be a rock star. It’s just when and where the rest of the world catches on that remains to be seen.
Film Review: The Lucky One
If ‘The Lucky One’ film was a drink, it’d be a pastel pink milkshake. Unashamedly sugary, a little bit slushy and reassuringly comforting.
Blek Le Rat: Opera Gallery London
The Godfather of Graffiti opens a new exhibition of work in London on Friday and the first 100 people to get in will get a FREE signed limited edition print.
Game Review: Fez
Let’s face it, 2D platforming is the treasured gem from our past. Polytron has given us a new platformer; Fez, which hopes to give a new dimension to 3D.
Eleanor Friedberger @Black Cat, Washington, DC
Illinois native, Eleanor took the stage sporting a tan colored, fringe jacket and cowboy boots opened her set with ‘My Mistakes’, and encompassed with a guitarist, bassist and drummer, immediately got the crowd going. Eleanor’s mellow sound is edgy, and her soothing and unique voice has tones of Wild Flag, The Ettes or even Amy LaVere.
Film Review: Avengers Assemble
In the hands of someone with less experience than director Whedon, Avengers Assemble could have been a disaster of epic proportions. It succeeds by successfully balancing the elements required to make a really good comic book movie. IE Action, Characters and Fun.
Game Review – Max Payne Mobile
In 2001, in the early days of the Playstation 2, Remedy Games released the much-anticipated title Max Payne, a revolutionary title that was the best third person shooter in a long time. Now, with its third installment on the way after a hefty nine year wait, we see the classic remade for iOS and Android devices – and the grim tale comes alive again.
The Miracals – Pretend
LA band The Miracals are big favourites of the Flush The Fashion music team. Their feelgood, summery melodies are just the thing to keep our mood upbeat, even on showery April days.
Fog Electric: North Atlantic Oscillation
North Atlantic Oscillation’s new record Electric Fog is one of my favourites of the year so far. It’s like a warm duvet filled with guitar feedback, Brian Wilson and feathers.
Jethro Fox
Liverpool multi-instrumentalist Jethro Foxhas a fondness for 60’s sunshine pop bands like The Hollies, and having just spent several years holed up in his bedroom he’s walked downstairs with some great songs under his arm.
