The ‘Spray Q&A: Mother And The Addicts

by Stuart Heritage

There are bands we hate. Then there are bands we like. Then there are bands we love. Mother And The Addicts are firmly in the last category. Led by – obviously – Mother, their songs attack the listener in a speed-of-light whirl of glitter, garage punk, deranged soul, herky-jerky white funk and Bryan Ferry impersonations. [...]

Sting: “Why I Need Seven Houses”

by C J Davies

God, Sting is boring. hecklerspray remains completely baffled as to why Sting (CDs) is still afforded recording time. Inbetween his Bono-lite antics of trying to save the world – hovering above dying rainforests with a concerned look on his face, probably in an environmentally-friendly helicopter powered entirely by leaves – he still finds the time [...]

Ben Affleck Takes On Terrorists

by C J Davies

Hollywood Golden-boy turned Gigli star Ben Affleck has announced details of his latest project – a television pilot called Resistance, which focuses on "a band of modern patriots trying to revive the Bill Of Rights." The Bill Of Rights, you say? Why would that possibly need reviving? What happened to it – did George W [...]

Let Zombies Rip You Apart for Charity

by Stuart Heritage

There are many different ways to be immortalised. You can be the first to do something genuinely heroic like Neil Armstrong. You can become the best ever at your chosen profession like Pele. Or you can shell out a bunch of cash to charity in return for seeing your name in a book. 16 writers [...]

Games That Time Forgot – Activision Boxing

by Stuart Heritage

Here at hecklerspray, we like things concise. Short and sweet. Nothing superfluous. Bulletproof. This rule applies pretty much to all media. It’s why Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder (CDs) will always be preferable to a bloated sack of mumbles like The Hurricane by Bob Dylan (CDs). It’s why Wedding Crashers should have finished 15 [...]

Mediocrity To Be Honoured In The Avenue Of The Stars

by Stuart Heritage

British people tend to have a strong "us against them" mindset. We’re just as good as the rest of the world, we think. No, scrap that. We’re better. And to prove it, London has announced that it will unveil an ‘Avenue Of The Stars’ in Covent Garden next month to rival Hollywood’s Walk Of Fame. [...]

Madonna Knackers Herself On A Horse

by Stuart Heritage

Madonna is, by popular consensus, the Queen Of Reinvention. She’s been a young, gum-chewing teen; a Marylin Monroe lookalike; a sleazy, bed-hopping floozy; the most beloved woman in Argentinian history; a terrible, terrible actress; and most recently, cockney lady of the manor. Now with a new album in the pipeline, Madonna’s unveiled her latest image [...]

SLACKERJACK – South Park Does The Aristocrats

by Stuart Heritage

You might remember a few weeks ago that we mentioned a forthcoming film, entitled The Aristocrats. It’s something of an in-joke in comedian circles, the Aristocrats, where they’ll try and out-gross each other by telling a crappy joke about a family at a talent agency. They’ll embellish and add things until the joke is so [...]
