Here come the heavy-hitters.

Back in March, I described this as ‘music to wander around Shoreditch in the sunshine, mingling with hipsters’. I may…
Top 40 of 2011 : 10 – 6
Apologies for being a bit of a tease. I thought it might be better to split the post as I have outdone myself in attempting to justify my no. 6.
Be gentle with me; I am but a music nerd…
10….
This is what I’ve been working on for the last three weeks. It’s the result of a workshop in Fine Arts with the theme “icons” (computer icons/celebrities/fashion icons/religious icons, etc).
I chose to work with movie icons from two different eras. This project has been a lot about ideals, patterns and anatomy. I named the project Iconatomy from the words “icon” and “anatomy.”
I have worked with a collage technique, but in a computer, which for me is a first. I am really pleased with the end product and I want to develop this concept further.
(Click here to see more of my art.)
Edit: Two things people are wondering about that I thought I could make clear.
1. The pictures are not morphed in any way. What you see is a collage of two different people in each picture. Did it take me a long time to find the right pictures? Hell yes it did! :-)
2. People are commenting on the “comparison” I’m making with these pictures. About that, I just want to say that I am not comparing anything here. Sorry if you feel that your favourite actor or actress was “paired up” with someone you don’t like.Thank you everyone for liking it so much, I’m really blown away by the feedback I’m getting!

“Where else can you get a box of 10 mangoes for 3 pounds?” asks Sean D in his enthusiastic review of East London’s Whitechapel Market.
This was a question I failed to consider as I…

It’s Mix Time!: Superinjunction
So, here’s why there’s been silence on here for the last few weeks…
It turns out out that someone (who must remain unnamed – it’s definitely not Freemasons *giggle*) took out a superinjunction…
The New Inquiry: Comfortably Alone

Social media puts an end to shyness by generalizing its pathology
By Rob Horning
As a shy person, I’ve believed for most of my life that being among new people required an elaborate social disguise, one that would allow me to feel both present and absent,…
It’s Mix Time: Asthma Attack
Thankfully, I’m not badly afflicted with the asthma; my inhalers remain for the most part stowed away until my lungs start to disintegrate in winter. I blame the bout of pneumonia I got…

I’m quite jealous of M. Ward.
You can visit the link to see how sickeningly prolific and successful he has been. The guy has churned out nine albums in ten years, five of which are…
Crookers: Put Your Hands On Me (feat. Kardinall Offishall)
Flicking through the music channels at a certain time of night, you’ll think that you were watching softcore lesbian porn [there’s the hit count gone up for this week]. You know the type; some…
How to DJ
I’ve watched only two of these lessons from DJ Download and I’ve already learned tons (OK, I was starting from a low position, smarty pants).
It’s not often I see both my profession…
Thank You For The Music: Kylie, Chaka & the Orsa Fiddlers!
So, there we were in Hyde Park with 35,000 other pleasant punters on maybe the last lovely Sunday summer’s evening for quite a while.
The whole BBC Radio 2 spectacle was good fun (even…
Paddy McAloon BBC Radio 2 Radio Interview
Good catch by the good folk over at PrefabSprout.net. A very delf-deprecating Paddy on Radcliffe & Maconie’s BBC Radio 2 show.
In other news, Let’s Change The…
