Freakangels

review by Denis-Jose Francois

"23 years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. 6 years ago, the world ended. This is the story of what happened next."

That's the set up for Freakangels, a free, weekly, ongoing comic written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Paul Duffield.

Whitefield Brothers - 'Earthology'
 
Written by Lynda Cowell

If there’s one musical genre which could do with a makeover, it’s world music: the much-maligned global soundtrack which gets folks thinking about Later…With Jools Holland sessions, Damon Albarn “side projects” and fields full of worthy do-gooders getting high on hemp and good vibes.

Stewart Lee & Stephen Carlin

Everyman Screen on the Green
Edinburgh Preview  (Friday, 23 July late)

written By Dan Collacott

It’s 11pm on a Friday night and I’m standing in the plush red confines of the Everyman Screen on the Green cinema in Islington. This doesn’t feel the sort of place you’d expect to see comedy, around me aren’t even the sort of people you’d expect to find at a stand up gig. There’s more Hoxton types with floppy hair wearing beanies and sunglasses indoors than you can shake a pair of skinny jeans at.

Inception

Film Reviews by

Matthew Worrall & Dan Collacott

How to describe this visually stunning kaleidoscope of a movie from Christopher Nolan?

The film premises a near future where technology has enabled the infiltration and manipulation of human consciousness through dreams and follows the fortunes of an industrial espionage cell breaking into the minds of businessmen for a price.

Cla$$war:

The Collected Edition

Review by Steve Ray

In the past I have always picked up titles from the independent publishers with some trepidation. While some have been outstanding many were really just some lush art joined together with awful dialogue and paper-thin plots. When I was asked to read and review Cla$$war I will readily admit that I was expecting more of the latter... I've been wrong before...

Delightful: Liberation Frequency meets...

Saunders Sermons

Written by Imran Mirza

Coming dangerously close to having crept under Liberation Frequency's radar, is Saunders Sermons' debut album, 'Classic Delight'.  Quiet as it's kept, this gem, released independently in 2009, is the work of a true master of his craft, and the singer/trombonist has a resume' as equally impressive.

Kings Go Forth:

 ‘The Outsiders Are Back’

By Imran Mirza

It’s Thursday 3rd June, about 10:30pm, and I’m sat at my laptop about to tackle a severely neglected inbox. There’s one email in particular I’ve not got been able to get round to responding to – it has ‘Kings Go Forth’ in the subject line and it’s letting me know that their debut album is shortly available for release...

Interview with Matt Berry

Written by Dan Collacott

They say you should never meet your heroes …..and past fairly incidental meetings with members of the League of Gentlemen and Cillian Murphy had more than proved that point in my case. So I was pretty nervous in the run up to meeting a true comedy idol of mine, musician and IT Crowd star Matt Berry. Within minutes of talking to the suave and charismatic frontman, I was completely at ease and relieved.

Peter Milligan Interview

Review by Gavin O'Reilly

No stranger to controversy, Peter Milligan has had his work and unique comic book direction hitting the headlines before (particularly a certain story proposal to have a dead princess Diana join the marvel X-Statix team) Now he has chosen the often still shocking and disturbing Greek tragedies as a pool of inspiration to tell new stories in a contemporary, and familiarly gritty modern day London.
