The first thing to say is that Gil Scott-Heron is back. I'm New Here is a master stroke in a career and life that have been plagued by many problems. Thankful Gil has managed to stay out of jail long enough to make a great record (here's hoping he stays free for good), and his long awaited book is now slated for a 2011 release. What bullshit is it anyway, sending a man to jail for having a drug dependence? 
Tom Ford: the king of fashion, the man who picked Gucci out of the garbage bin and placed it on top of the world (only for it to fall from grace as soon as he left). The thought that such a stylish, sophisticated man could direct a film excited me, to say the least. After seeing the trailer for A Single Man, I was salivating; I couldn’t wait for the moment I would sit in the darkness of the cinema to savour two hours of beauty.News & Competitions

| Paris For Beginners |
Thursday, 28 January 2010
 Paris is a city that everyone has a mental image of – quaint cafes and bonhomie boutiques, Gothic grandeur and contemporary chic.

| REVIEW: Four Tet - There Is Love In You |
Monday, 08 February 2010
 It's been five years since Keiran Hebden's last release under the Four Tet moniker, Everything Ecstatic, but the Dave Eggers of electronic music (fingers in many pies, own stuff comes in two flavours: brilliant or average) has been far from idle during this time. He's the remixer du jour for the discerning indienista and he had an admirable crack at tarting up the impossibly tired strings at the end of the last Bond film, Quantum of Solace. |
