by Chris Laverty

Bad like Michael Jackson (that’s Creased) or Good little Little Richard (that’s Folded). Only we can decide… Folded: The Island – out now (panned, but we think it’s worth a shot) Vote for The Persuaders! cars (you can decide what motors the kipper-tied heroes drive in the new movie) The new Jaws re-release (DVDs) (a [...]

CD Review – Mother And The Addicts ‘Take The Lovers Home Tonight’

by Stuart Heritage

Yesterday you may have read a spiffy little Q&A with Mother And The Addicts – a discourse which included the soon-to-be-legendary chat-up line, "darling, you’re really lovely, I think I want to be your hur, hurr, hus, hur". The debut album by Mother And The Addicts, entitled Take The Lovers Home Tonight, is released on [...]

Rubbish Cars We Love: Nissan Micra K-10 – Do You Speak Micra?

by Chris Laverty

This car might be rubbish (and it is, definitely), but it’s also indestructible. The Nissan Micra ‘K-10’ is tougher than Steven Seagal’s bathroom scales. The Lowdown: The 54 bhp K-10 Micra – produced between 1983 and 1992 – is square like Eugene and annoying like Anthony (t-minus two weeks for the Big Brother references). To [...]

Gorillaz Tour Habbo Hotel

by Stuart Heritage

When most bands embark on world tours, they tend to involve months of endless waiting on buses and planes, eating bad motorway cafe food and occasionally playing music in tiny American towns where nobody even knows who they’re watching. But Gorillaz aren’t most bands. They don’t even exist. So instead of a conventional world tour, [...]

SLACKERJACK – Play Table Football

by 586 MEDIA

Table football, or ‘Foosball’, always seems like a much better idea than it actually is. In theory, it’s a battle of wits and lightning reactions, and a handily small indoor version of the country’s most beloved sport. In reality, it’s a frustratingly limited representation of a sport that England are rubbish at, and Foosball tables [...]

by Chris Laverty

Preferably into outer space. No, no, let’s be objective here. ITV – pioneers of the Saturday night game show – are to launch their own children’s television channel. Oh, joy.

Pay $100,000 To Watch The Stones With Schwarzenegger

by Stuart Heritage

It’s the eternal question – what would you do if money was no object? Buy a house in every country in the world? Swank around in a fancy, custom-made car? Watch a bunch of crotchety old men judder around a stage playing 40 year-old songs whilst sitting next to Mr Freeze? That last one could [...]
