ENGINEERS/INTERVIEW
“It’s a little bit suspect with it (Shoegaze) coming into mainstream indie now, it looks like it might be the next thing to be mined. Then obviously there’s going be a backlash and then everyone’s going to be sneering at it again. Its like it’s cool and worthy to be a stripped down punk band but if you admit you’ve got a lot of a lot of effects pedals then you’re hiding behind it. But then I think those people don’t like their own company and just like not talking for five minutes.” Engineers bassist/vocalist Mark Peters giving his perspective on a totally different music scene from the one his band left four years ago. With all the talk of a rise in nu-gaze and rapturously received albums from M83, Maps and Kyte, along with the rise in labels like the Sonic Cathedral and Northern star and the sell out return of My Bloody Valentine there’s confirmation that excelling in sonically adventurousness is in fact something that should be applauded, not derided. Unfortunately the phrase took on a derogatory meaning during its blossoming in the early 90s, slung at anyone wielding a guitar and hiding behind a wall of sound, with long greasy hair and a lumberjack shirt on their back, but was Shoegaze as easy to pigeonhole as the mainstream music made out? Or was there something more nuanced beneath the tides in this ocean of noise: ’Something that interested me that at the time was only the press coined the term (Shoegaze) and labelled a lot of the crapper bands that came out at the time with it.’ Continues Mark ‘The ones that were just taking on the sounds of bigger acts like My Bloody Valentine or Ride when those bands were at their peak. But at the time there wasn’t really much difference between the Stone Roses, ‘Screamdaelic’ by Primal Scream and Spiritualized it was all just kind of epic, hedonistic kind of music.‘

Beach Break 09
Dizzee Rascal, Hadouken!, Dan Le Sac et Scroobius Pip, Mystery Jets, Kate Tempest

Imagine, if you will, undergoing the headache of organising a festival for some ten thousand students. Imagine also that you've managed to book some of the biggest acts in modern music today and assigned them accordingly across 5 stages. Then imagine, a mere 4 days before your extravaganza, you have been told by local councilors that you cannot hold your festival at the site they initially promised you. Welcome to Beach Break 2009.

Edinburgh Film Fest Report 2
Welcome to the second part of our Edinburgh retrospective, in which we`ll be focusing mainly on the EIFF’s grislier offerings- madness, visions and feverish nudity appropriate to the last two week’s flu-ridden headline paranoia . Anyone who’s done the ghost walk will known of the city’s historical predilections for something of the grand guignol, but this year the genre has come in a weirder form, with a spate of film’s sharing the same inscrutable DNA of old scares-irreducible to the old talking remedy rationales of ‘it’s a slasher-it’s an art-house film’ come to plague the festival like a new pandemic. ‘Vinyan’, ‘Long Weekend’ and the attention-grabbing by name and by nature ‘Lars Von Trier’s 'Antichrist’ wrestle with nature and motherhood, and in their own way owing more than passing debts to famed expressionist chiller ‘Don’t Look Now’.
