Ebony Bones

"EBONY BONES! Writing, producing and standing over her band's show-tune electro, the anti-diva's potty-mouthed Notting Hill carnivore creations are a mish-mash of punk and party. Quite simply, her records could cause X-rated strip-show races in a dusty morgue.."

Annie - I Know Your Girlfriend Hates Me

I know your girlfriend hates me
I see it in her eyes
The way she looks right on me
It opens up in time
I know your girlfriend hates me
See you know it's true
The way she hangs upon you
And watches every move, come on
Girl you think you're something
But have I got news for you

I don't mind
If it's the cold and sadistic you like
But now I'm thinking
Who's wearing your trousers now
She's no good
Oh stop pretending she's misunderstood
I heard her saying it's either me or her
Smell the coffee, boy, and open your eyes
Life's too long for you to get it wrong

Oh poor you
With all your lockets that have broken in two
Does she get a little excited, don't hide it
I heard her screaming in the dead of the night
Life's too long for you to get it wrong

Girlfriend wants to see who's calling
Freaking out, your phone keeps going

Life's too long...

Cynicism and Wales

"Oh I'm just a simple girl from Wales where they didn't have the radio or TV or the internet and everything was in black and white and I just suddenly appeared with this amazing album but I'm really just a girl from Wales you know."

VS

"I've been in development for the last four years (which I've spent in London) during which time I've been put in with a series of songwriters and producers and stylists etcetera to come up with this 60s schtick. I was on the Welsh X Factor but have strangely forgotten to mention this in any of my promo pack. I have nothing to say for myself and have hired one of the most powerful publicists in the country to communicate this fact. I am the flatpacksoul Rachel Stevens."

Goodness.

Alison Jackson - 'Starstruck' Exhibition

"We live in a culture obsessed by celebrities. David Beckham's latest hairstyle, the fluctuating weight of celebrities such as Nicole Ritchie or Victoria Beckham, celebrities with addictions and the seemingly frequent necessity for 're-hab', are all capable of selling newspapers and magazines as much as, if not more, than pressing current affairs."

Staged by look-a-likes, the exhibition puts celebrities in situations that mock their seemingly transparent lives, and their will to be photographed in their rawest states.

Julie Birchill on Madonna

"To quote Madonna herself; 'I have moments where I feel incredibly invincible and know that I have the audience in my hand - I know that everything is absolutely perfect. And then I have panic attacks where I feel like everyone is breathing my air and I cannot live up to everybody's expectations and I might just die on stage.

'I normally try to turn my back to the audience, take a deep breath and remind myself that it's all temporary. I'm not worried about fucking up - I really have a panic attack that everyone else is breathing my air.'

When I read this, a quote from a recent interview with her in Dazed and Confused, I realised that while a little self-doubt on her part might well have made Madonna become better at what she does over the past 25 years, it would also have taken away much of her entertainment value. For in the vast chasm between her view of herself and what she actually is - between the golden fleece and the greasy muff, if you will - this most pompous, pretentious, hypocritical and humourless of women has added greatly to the gaiety of nations for the past quarter-century. Long may she continue to delight us - in this way, if in no other."

SIREN: New Translation

Next Generation remake of overlooked but brilliantly scary PS2 survival horror, although suffered severely from a convaluted structure. 'Timeline' style puzzles where your actions in one stage would render another stage useless, leading to a lot of dead ends and wasted time.

Remake looks a lot more Americanised, away from the Japanese folklore roots of the original.
Nevertheless, very exciting prospect if the downfalls of the original are ironed out.

Cloverfield

AMAZING.

Robyn's 'Who's That Girl' Single Promotion

A range of 'empowering females' for the Robyn promotional campaign featured on her myspace.

Respect to her for keeping her own original ideas, and not being influenced (too much) by the larger record labels that distribute her stuff.

RIP Benazir Bhutto.

Clic Chick: The Fine Art of Fashion Photography

An exhibition documenting the vitality of fashion photography as a vehicle for creative expression, formal experimentation and social commentary.

"Because they’re originally conceived and created to appear in magazines and advertisements, fashion photographs are often considered disposable. I’m hoping to change that by highlighting some exceptional images that hold their own as works of art."

Killer 7 - 'Cloudman'

The conclusion of the 'Cloudman' chapter of Suda 51's 'Killer 7' sees ego-driven germophobe empire leader Tony Ulmaeda come to his demise after the military intervene.

In a shower of blood the smoke clears, and Ulmaeda's true form is unvieled in the form of a twisted Heaven's Smile - his worst disease-ridden nightmare. The battle that ensues sees you sneaking through a labarynth of back-to-back ambulances in an attempt to exterminate Ulmaeda with a precisely timed shot to the back.

After his defeat, Ulmaeyda appears to a clone worker under his employ, showered in blood to pass on the crown of his supposed 'empire'.

Fantastically exagerrated anime conclusion to one of Killer 7's most intriguing chapters.

Sadness

Original game for the Nintendo Wii, developed by Nibris Systems.

Set before the First World War in the early 1900's with a plot centering around narcolepy and schizophrenia, you are led to confront your fears in an entirely monochrome survival horror adventure:

"The study of fear and the borders of human imagination... A trip to the darkest corners of consciousness, in all of us... A trip to the hell of the subconscious and not necessarily to return..."

The added interactive function of the Wiimote sees the player using it as a torch to fend away rats, as a lever to power a minecart, and a rusty shard of glass to fight off an attacker.

An entriely different direction for the typecast 'family amateur' view the Wii is building for itself.

MGMT - Time to Pretend

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars

This is our decision, to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredem and the freedom and the time spent alone

There's really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everyting must run it's course

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend

'Liberators'

Nazi World War II propaganda, flaming America for it's contribution to the opposition.

How many people would identify this as a Nazi poster nowadays?
How many would AGREE with what it is saying?

Kanye West - Flashing Lights

She don’t believe in shooting stars
But she believe in shoes and cars
Wood floors in the new apartment
Couture from the stores departments
You more like love-to-start-shit
I’m more of the trips-to-Florida
Ordered the hors d’oeuvres, views of the water
Straight from a page from your favorite author
And the weather’s so breezy
Man, why can’t life always be this easy
She in the mirror dancing so sleazy
I get a call like, “Where are you Yeezy?”
And try to hit you with the ol’ wopty
Until I got flashed by the paparazzi
Damn, these niggas got me
I hate these niggas more than a Nazi

As I recall I know you like to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
But what do I know
What do I know

I know it’s been a while sweetheart
We hardly talk, I was doing my thing
I know it was foul baby, aye bay
Lately you been all on my brain
And if somebody woulda told me a month ago
Frontin’ on - yo, I wouldn’t want to know
If somebody woulda told me a year ago
It’a gon’ get this difficult
Feelin’ like Katrina with no FEMA
Like Martin with no Gina
Like a flight with no Visa
First class with the seat back
I still see ya, in my past
You on the other side of the glass
Of my memory’s museum
I’m just sayin’, “Hey Mona Lisa, come home
you know you can’t Rome without Caesar”

Sam Sparro - Black and Gold

The fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking

and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i'm looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold

i looked up into the grey sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

i feel a way of something beyond them
i don't see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn't real
