Last Saturday I decided to visit the "You Say You Want A Revolution?" at the Victoria and Albert museum in London. As you may have noticed from other posts upon this fare page, I value my days-off rather highly. As I'm sure most people do.

Critique: A Critique
I sit here, with my girlfriend aside me, drinking coffee and eating porridge. We are each on our matching laptops, looking out to a foggy Regents Park, connected to the larger world , each other and yet still the archetypal 21st century individual.

Political Cycle Setting 2 – Extra dirty, Double stains. Broken Machine.
I just had the pleasure, or rather the heady mix of pleasure and pain, at watching "Grannies Guide to the Modern World".

The National – High Violet – Review
Who am I to review someone elses art?! Their vision and craft. What scum. Anyway, with a name like 'the National ' I was well and truly put off until I heard snippets of High Violet played in a particularly depressing old job. The perfect situation!

The Interview – A review
While as a teenager I was an admirer and fan of Seth Rogen, as I have grown up I found myself tuning in less and less to his prolific output.
