World Cup Quarter Final: England v Brazil. Friday, June 21, 2002. (While not for a moment questioning in any way the Englishman-in-the-pub's good sense in shouting his country on to success in this big quarter final clash over a gallon of beer or two; the impartial onlooker would surely ask:) Wh»

I'm nervous...Can you tell me a joke?
Okay, well, I don't know how at ease I can put you, as my jokes tend to frighten and disturb people, as I really like jokes that are offensive. I don't know,»

West 13th is the newly launched music venue in Glasgow, tucked away in the city's student mecca, the West End, and it carries on the traditions of the near-legendary 13th Note venues of the city centre. The 13th Note has been a major part of the Glasgow music scene in the last decade, and many people were sad to hear o»
With the arrival of Football World cup, its time to cast our eye over what exactly it all means. Especially after the previous article in this section!. Despite the millions of the flags waved and however pints of beer are drunk, it ultimately means Nothing .Do you really think that in the grand scheme of »

‘People don’t stay in the same job their whole life, they chop and change; when you start your first job at 18, you don’t stay in that job forever!’ And so we find Jim Ward in the beginning stages of his second job, with Sparta. You might have heard of his last one, he worked in the raw, chao»
With the FIFA World Cup upon us, a large portion of the planet will be watching a bit more football than usual. I’ll be watching matches in support of the mighty England. Already the team is going in to the finals with only three first choice midfielders and everyone’s getting injured…with the same inju»
It's this time of year again. Your friends won't have time for anything any more, your nights in rather than out will quadruple and, for a few weeks, you will not only deal with your own warped emotions, but also with those of a group of random strangers. Big Brother is back. With a new house, new rules and a br»
When was the last time you saw or heard something truly, defintively original in the music media recently? So, I've put myself out on a limb there, but think about it: What is truly new and original? Maybe I'm showing my cynicism here, but things don't seem quite as fresh to me»
One of the good things about being single is the fact you can happily indulge in celebrity-worshipping and no one is ever going to tell you off for that. Hooray. Obviously, the whole celebrity thing is for teenagers, but even when you're on the wrong side of twenty, you can still make some 'observations'. So here's my »
The Royal Jubilee. Does anybody know when it is? or what it is? or even, what it signifies? No. Thought not. But you will. Pretty soon it'll be inescapable. Millions of people who live in this country will deck out the bunting and hold parties to celebrate 50 years of life under the Queen's »
Tapes have recently been named THE 80s music media by some daily broadsheet. But for some reason tapes haven't died just yet in the 21st century. Now why is that, when you can have portable CD players and handy Minidisc things? One reason could be that portable CD players are so big you will lose all your dignity when »
THE 5 AGES OF MAN. Our lives have five ages. Birth. School. Metallica. Solo Project Hell. And Death. Well, not quite, but what I will tell you is this. Each of our ages, and the progression within them, neatly compare to our musical tastes we keep at those times. BIRTH. When you’re bo»
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin. Once upon a time there was a man called Martin Williams. After the demise of his previous band, the Nilon Bombers, the two members left standing, Martin and Gareth Ballard, began auditioning new vocalists, ‘when a someone recommended Anna. Saw her in a bar in Ch»
It was an interesting experience to have a phone conversation with the infamous Steve Albini. To be honest with you, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, as I’d heard reports about the guy ripping into fanzine journos for no apparent reason. So it was with great relief that I found the Shellac gu»
Now I know that a BA involves something to do with 'art'. Obviously. But I think there should be like BMs, too. For media related courses.
