Eating my words.

I was a massive fan of Kanye's first album and certain tracks still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, which is a rare thing for a hip hop record.

The concept for his new joint 808s & Heartbreak seemed a little bitty shite to me. I mean the most creative dude out there in the industry jumping on some vocoder bandwagon, I'll confess I was slating it before I even heard Love Lockdown.

With all that said I am eating my words and am all over the new single Heartless. Hear it HERE.

Another week, another belter

Phew… I feel like I’ve just caught my breath after last weekend’s mammoth Fiasco. It seemed like half the Glasgow house music scene turned up at the Brunswick to check DJ Mes out, and I can guarantee that nobody was disappointed. As always, pictures and videos are up on the Fiasco Facebook Group. Here is a sample of DJ Mes and the Fiasco crowd rockin’ out;

But alas, another week, another belter. December is fast upon us and the end of the month means two things in Glasgow, both crucial to keeping the wheels of this fine city rolling; Payday and Pressure. This month sees Slam celebrating their 10th birthday, with the best Pressure lineup I can remember. The legendary Carl Craig and relative newcomer Boys Noize will be keeping it all things Techno, and with DJ Yoda giving it his usual one-of-a-kind audio-visual performance, who knows whats going to happen. Throw in Damian Lazarus and Radioslave too, and you know its gonna be one helluva good night.

At this point I feel obligated to mention the Pioneer DVJ-1000 showcase that Yoda made a few years ago. No point explaining it, just watch and try and figure out what is going on. Beats me, but one thing I know is this guy is an absolute maestro.

So, back to Pressure… My hot tip for the night is Jesse Rose, who’s ‘Made to Play’ label is gaining ground as one of the hottest new tech-house outfits out there. Jesse also made it onto the front page of IDJ magazine last month, demonstrating that he is not only getting recognition in the underground scene, but also breaking his musical agenda out into the mainstream. Check out the ‘Made to Play’ podcast for some hot mixes from label buddies Oliver $ and Jamie Anderson, and surf on over to their website at www.madetoplay.net for 10 minutes of utter utter confusion. Once you are done there, get the Jesse Rose – Live At Focus mix from last year for some instant gratification.

If you haven’t already got your ticket for this months Pressure, then you are probably out of luck unless you can pick one up for £50-£75 on eBay, get lucky on Gumtree, or chance it outside the doors on Friday. The tickets were all gone in a week which is understandable for such a momentous event.

Don’t despair though, if you can’t make it down on Friday, Slam is putting out a special 10th birthday mix CD on the cover of December’s Mixmag which is in stores now. I haven’t heard it yet, but I have it on good authority that it scores 5/5 OOFTS! Plus there is always Pressure next month, and the month after that: this particular Glasgow institution is not going anywhere.

I had a dream

The other night I dreamt that I witnessed a murder.

My other half Helena took the liberty of checking online to see what this kind of dream typically means.

Dreaming that you witness a murder indicates deep-seated anger towards somebody. Consider how the victim represents aspects of yourself that you want to destroy or eliminate

- Taken from www.experiencefestival.com

The person I saw being murdered in my dream was in fact an old friend Willie who used to work at Reg Vardy and sold me my current car. I have been considering changing my car for a while now and this may be just the catalyst I needed.

Night night folks.

Honey Honey

Apologies in advance for this catchy piece of pish, but the hottie below sang it in Mama Mia and i had to listen to the original.

Hottie of the week (Amanda Seyfreid)

Was forced at gunpoint to watch MamaMia the other night, was the worst experience of my life, at first, then i kinda liked it, sorry to say but it was fun.

This young lady is Amanda Seyfried, she plays the daughter in the film, great voice and oh so pretty.

Things to do this week....

Out for dinner? Nanakusa is one year old!! So if you're out and about tonight grab a table and help them celebrate their birthday. There's a special bento box on the menu tonight and some other treats.... Not free tonight? then pop in anytime and give your belly a treat!

Fancy a film? Glasgow's GFT has some corkers scheduled. I went to see 'Conversations With My Gardener' by Jean Becker this week and it was a real treat. It's a film that's funny, heartfelt and poignant but without hitting you over the head with it.

The GFT also has a preview of 'Summer' directed by Kenneth Glenaan starring Robert Carlyle and Steven Evets on Thursday 27th of November. The aforementioned posse from the film will be in attendance.

Woolworths, about to go tits up ?

Woolworths could fall into administration in a matter of days unless it completes a deal to sell its retail business to restructuring specialist Hilco, according to sources close to the company.
A lack of sales in the crucial pre-Christmas period is expected to push the company into administration unless a deal can be made.
Over the weekend Hilco improved the terms of its offer to buy Woolworths' struggling retail arm, by agreeing to take on £300 million of debt, an advance on the £265 million originally tabled. This would leave the group with EUK and 2Entertain, as well as £85 million of debt.
However, Woolworths' biggest shareholder, property tycoon Ardeshir Naghshineh is expected to meet the retailer's management and banks today to discuss an alternative rescue plan to Hilco's.
He plans to raise cash by selling a number of leases on its stores and then moving the remainder of the outlets upmarket.


The bigger question needs to be, how has woolies managed to last so long, was in the one in nottingham a while back, every CD is a £5 dearer, all the games are old, the book section sucks and the pick & mix is still as dear as ever, i don't know anyone who still shops here, do you ?

Grog Ink 10mm Squeezer markers

Hi guys, This week i have the Grog 10mm Squeezer marker for you to check out. This marker is off the chain in ever aspect, for example: The Grog ink is an excellent stainer, the nib is second to none, the squeezer system works very effectively and it has a cap which will stop leakage in your pocket. It was actually a request by yours truly to get these in store and I'm happy we did.

Above is the empty marker, nib and legendary Grog ink. These marker come filled to save you the trouble. To fill the marker, all you need to do is remove the nib, fill the bottle about 2/3's with ink, replace the nib and squeeze to start the ink flowing.

The squeezer system works a treat and the mole hair nib is a nice change from regular chisel nibs. Below are some examples of the Grog 10mm Ink Squeezer marker.

Quite a few pictures this week, mainly because I Really enjoyed writing with the pen. Next week i have the Grog 25mm Squeezer marker.

Thanks for reading, Calum.

Duffer of St George rescued.

Duffer of St George has been rescued by the management in a buyout before the brand went down the pan.

A newly formed company called 'Nihocco 3493' rescued it from the hands of the evil administrators.

Duffer store in London was always my favourite store to visit, always seemed to have the coolest staff and a great buzz about the place.

Then it done its difusion line to Debenhams and still expected indies to carry on stocking the main line, hmm, always going to end in disaster that one.


Here we have the iconic Duffer hoody that every kid in glasgow was wearing years ago, was like a badge of honour to some.

Aspecto used to sell this buy the box full and it was available in many many colours, there must be a few still lurking about in peoples wardrobes out there.

I was surprised to still see it available on their website, i thought they had stopped making it.





MHI have got some guys in called Baker Tilley to try and sell the brand.

I think they may have left it 2 years to late, 2 years ago it was still highly regarded and selling, if you look at all the retailers that have stopped stoking their brands, i cant see how there is a business to buy.

I used to buy all my stuff half price in the frasers sale, then when we stocked it instore, we had a hard time with it.
Interesting to see if it is bought or ends up going down

Graduate's Anonymous: My Name is Mark...

...and I'm an English student. Hi Mark.

I don't know how it happened really. One minute I was a creatively inspired child prodigy burnout, next I'm writing essays on all the mentions of the word 'air' in Jane Eyre. What happened? How did I end up doing such a pointless degree?

Was in the pub the other night (my source of all cultural knowledge.) Someone asked me after I told them what I did, "Oh, so you want to be a teacher then?"

No. Not even if the choice is between that and being a fingernail pulling tester for some South American junta. Really, no, not if my life depended on it.

"But teaching is a noble profession."

No, teaching should be; there's a difference. It pays terribly and the children...ah, yeah them... I recall being at school and the horror I inflicted upon many teachers and I was far from the worst. My class managed to force the retirement of one old dear and cause another to hit the sick with 'stress related illness.' No, I do not want to meet the equivalent of me as a teacher. 

So it was very pleasing for me to find this gem the other day. Sir Ken Robinson has advised anybody who is anyone on creativity and education. And he has some surprising views, that I strongly agree with, on the way we are educated, the way we educate and the value we place on certain professions and abilities. He's also one of the funniest speakers I've ever heard on the always entertaining TED talks series that includes Minsky, Dawkins and Francis:

Alternatively, I could just go be a teacher.


Maybe not.



God no.



Well, fair point.

Sorry to all teachers reading this, but Woody Allen once said "Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, teach gym." So at least you have someone to look down on.

Skater of The Year

Thrasher Magazine's prestigious Skater of The Year award is on us again. Dan "Corpsy" Drebohl, John Rattray and John Cardiel have all picked Silas Baxter Neal to win, so that's good enough for me, I'm going to go ahead and call the winner myself. Silas Baxter Neal; in my top five three-named-skateboarders along with Anthony Van Engelen and Pierre Luc Gagnon. 

Not being cruel, don't worry. This guy is not the same AM I remember back in the day. I thought then he looked flat footed, a bit stilted and stiff and had this odd thing where it looked like his feet never moved. All of that has changed bar the latter now, perhaps he can actually levitate or something.

This part in the Habitat vid Inhabitants seems to confirm he's now a ripper with quite a smooth style. Some of his snaps are huge, range of tricks is very interesting. It also appears though that the wall-ride is officially back amongst everyone. And that Baxter-Neal fell head first out of the 70s wearing his best flared chords and never looked back.



Nice bit from the eS vid promotion. He's now on adidas though.

I still want Rattray to win. One day...

And a reminder: at Fat Buddha, we're still carrying plenty of skate product. Cliche decks, Destructos amongst a lot of nice gear and I'll even personally build you that board. It might be the middle of winter, but that's what skateparks and NCP carparks were built for.

More later,
Mark

Fiasco presents DJ Mes

This is my first post on the Fat Buddha Blog, so I guess I better explain what I’m doing here before I get started. I’m going to be bringing you a view of the underground house music scene in Glasgow, as well as some other bits and pieces for you to check out online. You might even see a few mixes of my own, but either way I’ll try and bring you a few hours worth of free tunes to download each week to keep your iPods topped up.

I’m gonna start off this month with a hot tip for this Friday: Fiasco at the Brunswick Hotel.



Ah Fiasco, Fiasco.. from your humble beginnings in the deep of last winter, you have blossomed into probably the hottest new club night in the whole of Glasgow. After last month’s sell-out performance by the jaw-droppingly funky Inland Knights on their 10 Years of Drop Music tour, I was left wondering exactly how Fiasco residents ED-FM! and Frazer Devine could top the bill.

This month, the Fiasco boys are bringing to Glasgow none other than west-coast legend and house music stalwart DJ Mes. In the past 15 years, DJ Mes has gained a reputation not only as a world-class DJ, but also a top producer with his own label Guesthouse Music, playing host to some of the most well respected DJs the world over.

Mes is sure to deliver a quality mix of deep funky grooves and driving jackin’ beats, and for me, this is one of the most anticipated nights of the whole year. Its also Mes’ only Scottish date this year, so now is the time to catch this rare chance to see the world’s 9th top DJ as voted by the members of the online house music community, undergroundhouse.net. You can get more information over at the Fiasco Events Facebook Group, where if you hurry you might have the honour of becoming their 500th member. Either way, here’s the lowdown on whats happening this Friday;

• Event: Fiasco presents DJ Mes, with residents Ed-FM! and Frazer Devine
• Where: Basura Blanca, Brunswick Hotel, Brunswick Street, Glasgow [Map]
• When: Friday 21st November 2008, 10pm to 2am.
• How Much: £7 on the door.

Its worth noting that this event will probably sell out, so get down early. Here’s some recent mixes from DJ Mes and Ed-FM! to whet your appetites and get you in the mood for the weekend;

• DJ Mes – Live at Focus 9-9-08
• Ed-FM! – DJ Mario Mix

See you there!

Row over altered US Army photo

The Pentagon has become embroiled in a row after the US Army released a photo of a general to the media which was found to have been digitally altered.
Ann Dunwoody was shown in front of the US flag but it later emerged that this background had been added, and that her uniform details had been changed.
The Associated Press (AP) news agency subsequently suspended the use of US Department of Defence photos.

A Pentagon spokeswoman said the photo had not violated army policy.
Gen Dunwoody, America's highest ranking female military officer, was recently promoted to become a four-star general.
In an original photo of her, she appears to be sitting at a desk with a bookshelf behind her.
For us, there's a zero-tolerance policy of adding or subtracting actual content from an image
Santiago Lyon AP
It also shows three stars on her uniform identifying her as a lieutenant-general, her rank prior to her promotion.
The altered photo, distributed by the army and initially sent by AP to its clients around the world, shows Gen Dunwoody against a background of the Stars and Stripes, with no stars on her uniform.

When the digital alteration was discovered, AP immediately withdrew the photo and began an investigation.
AP says that adjusting photos and other imagery, even for aesthetic reasons, damages the credibility of the information distributed by the military to news organisations and the public.
"For us, there's a zero-tolerance policy of adding or subtracting actual content from an image," said Santiago Lyon, AP's director of photography.

Mr Lyon said AP was developing procedures to protect against further occurrences and, once those steps were in place, it would consider lifting its ban on the use of US Department of Defence photos. He said AP was also discussing the problem with the military.
Colonel Cathy Abbott, chief of the US Army's media relations division, said the Dunwoody photo did not violate army policy that prohibited the cropping or editing of an image to misrepresent the facts or change the circumstances of an event.
She added that did not know who changed the photo or which office released it.
"We're not misrepresenting her," Abbott said. "The image is still clearly Gen Dunwoody."

Street Art

Hi guys, this week has been a hard one, Loads of work to do, been at the gym and the weathers been horrible, so i haven't had a chance to get out side and get some snaps. I've found an alternative though, I have a selection of videos showing the different types of street art and graffiti there is, check them out!

Thanks for viewing, calum

Hundreds Holiday Range instore

The Hundreds holiday range has arrived instore, i kept it tight with these 4 t/shirts, all fantabulous t/shirts, online for next week.

McCain

McCain-gracious and very funny in defeat. I.E returning to normal John McCain, not Regan 2.0

His best comment, which I don't believe is here: "I've been sleeping like a baby since the end of the campaign: sleeping 3 hours, waking up, crying."

Listmania

The other day (by that, I mean about 3 months back) I was asked a question. Scene-party, wrecked, bump into someone who has heard I 'write'. They asked a fair if very naive question-what's the best book you've ever read?

That's almost impossible to answer, as he soon realised when I explained I owned a few thousand books and probably read about 250+ books a year. As a minimum. "My goodness" he was heard to exclaim, in slightly stronger vocabulary.

So I figured I'd recommend a few of my personal favourites and pick out some books I particularly rate at Fat Buddha. It's worth noting my taste is not really everyone's cup of tea, so tread carefully.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

This is, over The Shining or anything in that vein, the most frightening book I've ever read. What's particularly nerve racking is the idea of the book itself coming to get you...

Danielewski's first novel (or something like that) is my favourite book. Concerning an LA tattoo parlour  employee, Johnny Truant, who discovers an essay written by a blind man about a movie that doesn't exist. And the movie is about a house that appears to be a fracture in space-time. Or possibly a gate to hell. Or a literary device. Or a labyrinth. Or a representation of the characters souls. Or...a million other things. Intellectually breathtaking, intensely scary, very funny and quite revolutionary. It's also about 800 pages long and will certainly crush you head and your bookcase.

Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges

Borges is the subject of my dissertation right now, (cross over to the mind numbing area that is my blog to read a bit.) Borges will, utterly, blow your mind. Stories of gun fights, impossible labyrinths, invented worlds, dangerous conspiracies and books that rewrite themselves. Not bedtime reading, most certainly but Borges was too lazy to write anything longer than short stories, so if you fancy a bus journey or lunch break to remember, he's the ticket. I'd also recommend El Aleph, if you're feeling completest.

Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov

A book that will leave you questioning every story you've ever been told. The unreliable narrator grafts a story about a king being ousted from the country of Zembla. What this has to do with the poet John Shade and his incomplete poem Pale Fire, few people could honestly tell you. Who the narrator actually is, I have no idea. And the end notes just build a maze you can't really get out of again. Brilliance.

The Butcher Boy by Patrick McCabe

Read this recently for my course and my university degree was just worth it for this alone. The story of a, admittedly deranged, rural Irish boy and his life being mistreated by everyone who comes his way. Doesn't sound happy reading, but this is exceptionally funny, poignant and unique portrait of how the world really does look to a lot of unfortunate folk. 

The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner: Written by Himself. With a detail of curious traditionary facts and other evidence by the editor. by James Hogg

A Scottish book finally. Short, succinct and very enjoyable. Also very modern in its outlook-it breaks down the daftness (technical term) of Calvinism and the Scottish viewpoint.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. By Lawrence Sterne

I have a bit of a reputation as a wind up merchant. So this is perfect for me; it's the anti-autobiography. By Chapter 12, Shandy isn't even born yet and he comes to realise that he cannot write as quickly as he ages. Witty and very playful, this set the tone for a lot of modern literature. I would also highly recommend the film adaptation-A Cock and Bull Story with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon-which captures the ideal of the book perfectly and is probably funnier.

 Other books I can recommend of the top of my heid-The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Watchmen by Alan Moore, Maus by Art Spiegelman, Tender is the Night by F Scott Fitzgerald, The 42nd Parallel by John Dos Passos, The Land of Green Ginger by Noel Langley, American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis...I could probably go on all day.

What of the Buddha? Well, I'm particularly liking Art & Sole and the Russian Criminal Tattoos Volume 2 (really), in store just now, soon to be online. 

This caught my eye, I've got a love for art deco style and this covers some great forms. The depth of the book is what got me; it's more of a pictorial exploration of the history of the movement, well worth a read even if art deco isn't your thing.

I also have a thing for kicks. Liked this for its depth, again, because it goes into technical detail on each major shoe with each major company. Really is a complete guide and if there's a sneaker head in your life, get them this for xmas.

Does what it says on the tin, pictures of freight train graff worldwide and no 20 page arty-rubbish about the meaning of it all. Just proper pics and no nonsense.

Look at that, I've eaten up all the page space again. So till next week with less pictures, ciao,

Mark

Blog on the Move

The blog is growing at a steady 10-15% a month and i am finding the blogspot format a bit limiting in so far as the things i would like to do with the blog.

So next month we will be moving to www.fatbuddhastore.com/blog , we will be using wordpress with a custom theme, will be offering movie reviews, graffiti reviews, arcade games and the same measure of news and info we provide just now.

I felt it was better to move the blog when we had 200 readers a day instead of 6 months when we had 400, but it won't be till next month and i'll keep you informed

Burn After Reading

Went to see 'Burn After Reading' last night, good film, not great but well worth the viewing, for a balanced review, check out these reviews from http://www.metacritic.com/

All critic scores are converted to a 100-point scale. If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review. Learn more...

100 Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
After the portentous "No Country for Old Men," Joel and Ethan Coen return to their trademark brand of cruel, misanthropic farce, and for dark laughs and hurtling narrative momentum this spy caper is their best work since "Fargo."

91 Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
This is the loopiest star vehicle in ages.

90 Film Threat Zack Haddad
A roller coaster of emotions that will have you laughing one moment and gasping in shock the next.

83 Portland Oregonian Marc Mohan
Nothing more and nothing less than a savvy and talented cast having its way with a clever, hilarious script, with absolutely no weighty issues at stake.

80 Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
Because it's a Coen brothers film before it's anything else, this is about as dark and nihilistic as comedies are allowed to get before the laughter dies bitterly on your lips.

80 Newsweek David Ansen
That's the paradox that makes this parade of folly so much fun: it feels as if everyone involved is having a high old time, and their enthusiasm is contagious.

80 Empire Ian Nathan
If "No Country For Old Men" was vintage port, Burn After Reading is a shot of tequila: eye watering and hard to swallow, but the after-effect is terrific.

75 ReelViews James Berardinelli
This is a thriller with a high quotient of comedic elements or, if you prefer, a comedy with a high quotient of thriller elements. As is always the case with a production of Joel & Ethan, it's difficult to classify, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

75 Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
A goofy screwball romp that affords a gaggle of A-listers the chance to hambone around in antic style.

75 Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
The characters are zany, the plot coils upon itself with dizzy zeal, and the roles seem like a perfect fit for the actors -- yes, even Brad Pitt, as Chad, a gum-chewing, fuzzy-headed physical fitness instructor. I've always thought of him as a fine actor, but here he reveals a dimension that, shall I say, we haven't seen before.

75 Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
One of the Coens' more playful projects, much lighter and significantly slighter than "No Country for Old Men" or "Fargo," but it's put together with such perfection that you can't help but be won over.

75 Rolling Stone Peter Travers
It would be no country for movie lovers without the Coens. They still manage to run unmuzzled while the rest of Hollywood runs scared.

75 The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps
This feels like a second-shelf Coen comedy, particularly when compared to their no-less-shaggy "The Big Lebowski."

75 USA Today Claudia Puig
It's consistently funny -- with witty dialogue and offbeat banter that stays in your head for days.

75 TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The brothers' dark, all-star farce about sex, lies and surveillance is pretty damned funny.

75 Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
Everyone in the movie is a buffoon or a dolt. No one is redeemable. The humor comes at the expense of the characters: You're always laughing at them, never with them. The Coens have never seemed this disdainful, this mocking, of their fellow man.

75 Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman
It's as pitiless and brutal as any of their pictures and funnier than any except "Raising Arizona."
75 San Francisco Chronicle Walter Addiego
Doesn't add up to much, but it's fast and funny and lets a bunch of top-drawer actors exercise their comic muscles.

70 Salon.com Andrew O'Hehir
Beneath its movie star clowning, its awful-but-relatable heroine and its lightweight gags, Burn After Reading poses an implicit challenge to its viewers: Can you figure out why this comedy isn't very funny? Could that be because its central proposition is that the people in the theater are just as stupid, just as gullible, just as eager to be deceived as the people on the screen?

70 Village Voice J. Hoberman
The Coens return to familiar territory with the parody thriller Burn After Reading, a characteristically supercilious and crisply shot clown show filled with cartoon perfs and predicated on extravagant stupidity.

70 The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
Joel and Ethan Coen clearly are in a prankish mood, knocking out a minor piece of silliness with all the trappings of an A-list studio movie.

67 Austin Chronicle Josh Rosenblatt
Burn After Reading, the new film from the Coen Brothers, won't be mistaken for "Fargo" anytime soon. Or "Barton Fink," or "The Man Who Wasn' There." Those films were black comedy done to perfection.

63 The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Rick Groen
It's clear that Burn After Reading is a wannabe cult favourite -- some viewers may embrace it; many more will just want to burn after watching.

63 New York Post Kyle Smith
The film has enough funny lines and weird situations - some comedy business with a sex chair lovingly constructed by the Clooney character is the highlight - that it could age into a cult film like "The Big Lebowski."

63 Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow
The script is clever and would be brilliant if it worked.

50 Boston Globe Ty Burr
Shallow and proud of it, an antic cartoon that lacks the comic inspiration to go the distance.

50 Slate Dana Stevens
It's a clever setup for a spoof of the espionage thriller, but despite the film's intermittent pleasures (Pitt's gum-snapping dolt chief among them), the result is oddly airless.

50 Variety Todd McCarthy
Nothing about the project's execution inspires the feeling that this was ever intended as anything more than a lark, which would be fine if it were a good one. As it is, audience teeth-grinding sets in early and never lets up.

50 Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
The movie is overplowed, even if Brad Pitt's debut as a Coen comedy player is eye-catching.

50 New York Magazine David Edelstein
Burn After Reading is untranscendent, a little tired, the first Coen brothers picture on autopilot. In the words of the CIA superior, it’s "no biggie."

50 The New York Times Manohla Dargis
The clubby, predictably self-amused comedy from Joel and Ethan Coen, has a tricky plot, visual style, er, to burn, but so little heart as to warrant a Jarvik 8.

50 Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
Clooney remains as game as ever, but the way he and McDormand push the energy here, you feel the strain. Pitt, just floating through, comes off best. He doesn't judge the moron he's playing; he just is.

50 Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
It's a cheerful trifle tossed off by the Coen brothers in their self-enchanted mode, an approach to comedy that shrugs off comedy's cardinal rule -- Don't Act Funny.

50 Washington Post Neely Tucker
Oh, the high-octane cast works hard. But there's nothing to suggest anybody off camera tried that hard, which is fatal to a Coen outing.

40 The New Yorker David Denby
Even Frances McDormand, the salt-of-the-earth actress who has warmed so many of the Coen brothers movies, falls into a queasy dead zone.

40 New York Daily News Joe Neumaier
Hopped up like a Bugs Bunny cartoon on mescaline and as chatty and uppity as a 5-year-old, Burn After Reading could be seen as the Coen brothers' need to let loose after the tightly wound "No Country for Old Men."

30 Time Richard Corliss
Either the Coens failed, or I didn't figure out what they're attempting. I must be like Harry or Osborne, pretending to a sophistication I lack. Burn After Reading is a movie about stupidity that left me feeling stupid.

Natural Unnatural

Mini New York Mop

Hi guys, This week I have the New York Mini Mop for you. Its very similar to the Mop i showed you last week but this ones tiny.(great for hiding away or keeping in your pocket). The Mini Mop is a really great, seriously one of my favorite Pens, Mop or Marker I've ever written with, and same as last week it was filled with the legendary white Grog buff proof Ink.

Its fills the same as the New York Mop and uses the same valve system. below are some pictures of what winter has driven me too to get pictures for you guys and some tags to show you what the Mop can do.

Yeah that's right, a flood light!

The New York Mini Mop seriously kicks ass, my tip to using it would be to make sure you shake it enough, and to watch what surface you use it one. (stay away from brick and cheese graters)

Thanks for reading, Calum.

Obey E Pluribus Venom instore

E Pluribus Venom collects a large body of work produced by Shepard Fairey and presented at the Jonathan Levine gallery during his massive exhibition in the summer of 2007. Serving as more than just an exhibition catalog, this book expounds upon themes presented in the show. The title “E Pluribus Venom” which translates “Out of many, poison” is derived from ìE Pluribus Unumî (out of many, one) an early motto adopted by the U.S. Government which appears on U.S. currency.

The artist’s thesis is that many becoming one, or a loss of power and influence of the individual in favor of homogeny is a symptom of a society in decline. “E Pluribus Venom” is comprised of artworks designed to question the symbols and methods of the American machine and American dream and also celebrate those who oppose blind nationalism and war.

Some of Faireyís works use currency motifs or a Norman Rockwell aesthetic to employ the graphic language of the subjects they critique. Other works use a blend of Art Nouveau, hippie, and revolutionary propaganda styles to celebrate subjects advocating peace. 144 pages, full color, 12″ x 9 1/2″,

ID Cards and A Very Important Election

There's a by-election on today in Glenrothes and if you live here and haven't voted already, I'd recommend you pop down the now. A little X next to the SNP box should save your country from total destruction at the hands of the Labour party. It will also likely save the countries of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

On the note of the end of the British Empire, I see Jacqui Smith is eagerly plotting another excuse to keep everyone tied together. "People can't wait for ID Cards" she said. 

From BBC News:

In a speech to the Social Market Foundation Ms Smith said cards would be issued on a voluntary basis to young people from 2010 and for everyone else from 2012. [C'mon kids, it's a really cool card. Look- it has your picture and everything!]

She added: "But I believe there is a demand, now, for cards - and as I go round the country I regularly have people coming up to me and saying they don't want to wait that long. [We demand some KGB-esque state now! Now!]

Jacqui Smith: "I now want to put that to the test and find a way to allow those people who want a card sooner to be able to pre-register their interest as early as the first few months of next year."

Biometric cards are being issued to some foreign nationals from this month.

She told the BBC: "We'll see where that interest is, and then we'll see if we can issue some cards to those who've expressed an interest by the end of next year."

People applying for cards and passports from 2012 will have to provide fingerprints, photographs and a signature, which Ms Smith believes will create a market worth about £200m a year. [Apparently it takes some dystopian vision of a communist state to beat the credit crunch.]

And in changes to earlier plans the Home Office is talking to retailers and the Post Office about setting up booths to gather biometric data.

'Trusted environment'

The government believes it would be "more convenient" for people and cheaper than setting up its previously planned enrolment centres in large population centres.
In her speech Ms Smith rejected claims handing enrolment over to private firms would compromise security. [Because privatisation hasn't hurt, say, the NHS or education has it? And if the government loses our data all over again, I want to know somebody else is getting paid for it.]

"Provided that it is conducted in a secure and trusted environment, by service providers accredited and verified by the IPS and to high and rigorously enforced standards, enrolment should be able to happen at the convenience of the customer - on the high street, at the nearest post office, or at the local shopping centre." [Customer? Supermarket signups? Apparently the vision of George Orwell will come in a more capitalist package. With a Tesco bow.]

Phil Booth, NO2ID Campaign-"What company is going embarrass itself to the tune of millions for a contract that everyone outside the Home Office itself knows will be cancelled by a new administration?" [Very true, but I find it hard to take a bunch of sandal wearing, tofu munchers seriously as a resistance campaign.]

The overall cost of the ID card scheme over the next 10 years has risen by £50m to £5.1bn in the past six months, according to the government's latest cost report. [Ah, yes. That little matter too. Slap that on the same credit card that bought Trident shall we?]


So overall, I'm very angry. So angry I can't even articulate in an intelligent and informed way how angry I am. Argh.

I'm off, I promise, no more ranting till Xmas. Unless I'm feeling particularly tetchy.

Ciao,

Mark

Promo, Promo, Promo

Gonna do some shameless PRing here.

Some good friends of mine have a very promising exhibition on in Stereo in Renfield Lane on the 25th of November. Great new work from two new major Scottish artists Catherine Weir and Catrin Jeans with contributions from Portuguese and German artists. Promises to be some great video art, some interesting internet related things and good, old-school paintings. And if there's free wine, it's a great night. I'll drop some promo near the time, but it's gonna be a strong one.



OneMoreTune is a belter of a techno/electro night in Blackfriar's basement. Some proper eye popping sound this Saturday with Elliot Castro, Foliage and residents Define Define. The door damage is well worth it and it always leaves a smile. And you can make the flyer into a paper owl. (Don't ask)

NB-no 'ghost-rock' will be played at this event. Much to Big Al's chagrin.

Incidently, on the OMT myspace, I found a picture of myself and my mate Sunny at said night. Although I appear to be about 3ft tall in it. Or Sunny is an NBA player. I can't work out, but it amused me and nobody else, I would imagine.


Why I have the look of some southern redneck hick attracting flies with my open gub, I'm not sure.

Cheers and till next week,

Barack Obama

So it finally came true. Congrats to the big man-as some of you may be aware, Barack Obama won the American election on Tuesday.

You may also be aware of certain things surrounding this election, so I feel pretty stupid repeating them here. It was the longest, most expensive election in US history. It was the largest Democrat win since 1992 I believe. And Obama is the first non-white president.

That last sentence is key, mainly because it's what I want to talk about. Because ultimately, what can I, a wee know-it-all minor writer from Scotland, possibly say that hasn't been said about this already? 

But all I've really seen over the last few days is the anticipation over a black president. I fully understand how momentous this-living in Brooklyn over the summer tuned me in to be able to appreciate what this meant to America and the black community in particular.

Yet the key achievement of a black person reaching the white house is not just the fact itself-it's the shift in semantics that will take place. Obama is the first black president; he's also hopefully, the last person to be described as a black president. 

Obama has crossed such a massive hurdle that, with a bit of luck, any ethnic minority running for government in the future will simply be seen as a 'candidate' and not as a 'Hispanic candidate', a 'black candidate' or a 'white candidate'. This change in the semantics that surround people will hopefully permeate through everything. 

Richard Dawkins often expresses derision at the labelling of a 'Muslim child' or a 'Jewish child'; these children are demographically set apart and defined by something they have had no say in or had any time to consider if they are Muslim, Jewish, Christian or whatever. I feel the same way about race-political correctness, racial definition, ethnic demographics are all products of people 'fetishising' and defining other people through something they have no control over: the colour of their skin. It's called 'othering' in post colonial theory and it's not very nice, is it?

Obama reaching the White House hopefully signals an end to this rubbish where we judge people on how they were born, what they were born into or what sets them apart as a means of being 'sensitive to minorities' and just patronising people because they look different. 

So Obama is the last black president. That's my take...

And skip over the fairly vomit worthy "Yes We Can" music video and pop on Sam Cooke's A Change is Gonna Come and feel good.

V for Vendetta.

V for Vendetta is a ten-issue comic book series written by Alan Moore and illustrated mostly by David Lloyd, set in a dystopian future United Kingdom imagined from the 1980s about the 1990s. A mysterious anarchist named "V" works to destroy the totalitarian government, profoundly affecting the people he encounters.
The series is set in a near-future Britain after a limited nuclear war, which has left much of the world destroyed. In this future, a fascist party called Norsefire has arisen and is the ruling power. "V", an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, begins an elaborate, violent and theatrical campaign to bring down the government.


This is essential reading folk, comic geeks like myself or not, especially on today of all days 'November the 5th'.
The brief summary above does not do it justice, seriously, and the film was pretty diabolical, despite excellent casting of the very pretty Natalie Portman. Retailing for around a tenner you will not be disappointed.

The Fab Four, Elections and thrilling headgear

Here's one for all you Kubrick collectors out there, especially if you're a music fan too. The Beatles 'Can't Buy Me Love' 1000% (26.8 inches) Kubrick set is due to finally appear after over 2 years of development. Medicom will be punting these at $2000 per for a complete set. I can see that there will be some broke Fab Four collectors out there!

Well as the US election draws ever nearer there has been another toy release-tie-in by none other that John K. If you've never heard of him you're sure to know of his two most famous creations, Ren and Stimpy. Now John K has brought his stinky art style to the presidential candidates (there's also a big assed Hilary as she was still in the race when the set was created. When asked about his feelings about this political race he replied; "I am not all that political myself. I watch all the news and debates and am amazed at what all the candidates get away with. I’m Canadian, so the extremes of Republican and Democrat hatred amaze me. I find them both equally bizarre and arbitrary. And funny."

With the winter cold breathing down our necks Jeremy Fish (SuperFishal) and Upper Playground have produced a possible cure for this chilly weather, there is one catch though...you'll have to be the kind of person who can pull off wearing pink bunny ears. The hat is like a mixture of baseball cap and Russian military headgear designed around the ever popular Jeremy Fish Skull Bunny.

As hip as the hipsters.

Fast car for the polis

Strathclyde police need to try and keep up, we can at least get them a set of blue lights for under their motor, just like the ned mobiles.
But to donate one of these cars, is pretty impressive, but when you look at all the free publicity it has generated, it sure looks to be a smart move.

A Lamborghini Gallardo has been donated to the Italian State Police (Polizia di Stato) by Automobili Lamborghini SpA.
The V10, 500 bhp 190 mph performance car has been liveried in the colours of the state police and includes a siren and flashing lights on the roof. This is the first time that a Lamborghini will be used by Italian police.The Gallardo police car will be used by the traffic police (Polizia Stradale) during emergency situations on the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway in southern Italy.

It is equipped with apparatus to transmit and receive information and images in critical situations such as road traffic accidents, fires and other disaster situations. It will also be fitted with the Italian police’s Provida system which records traffic violations and sends images in real-time, and has a direct connection to the police database as well as the Elsag ‘Autodetector’ system for number plate recognition.
In addition, the Gallardo is equipped with first aid equipment including defibrillator apparatus with the capability to perform electrocardiograms, and automatic diagnosis of arterial pressure and the presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.
The car will also be used for the transportation of plasma and human organs for transplant. The police’s use of their Lamborghini Gallardo won’t be limited to fair-weather driving: as well as the benefits of the Gallardo’s permanent four-wheel drive, during winter months it will also sport special ‘Sottozero’ snow tyres developed by Pirelli for Lamborghini.

New York Mop tutorial

Hi guys, this week I'm going back to writing about the graffiti equipment Fat Buddha stocks. This items a beauty, its a NY Mop filled with white Grog buff proof ink. The NY Mop is great, the bottle holds loads of ink, so you don't have to refill as often, it can be really drippy if you want it to be and is really smooth on a good few surfaces. Grog Buff proof ink is one of the best inks on the market, it is resist to alot of chemicals, will not be effected by any weathering, the bottle is pocket sized and will fill this NY Mop about 3/4 times. Below are pictures of the NY Mop and The White Grog ink.

To fill the Pen, remove the cap, and head of the Mop. Give the bottle of ink a really good shake, open it and pour into the bottle of the Mop. Don't fill the marker right to the top so that when its been put back together you can make sure the inks mixed well before you start writing. Ok so the bottles full of ink, replace the head of the Mop (make sure its on properly or your going to be skrubbing Ink off your body for days) shake the ink up and pump the head. You are now ready to start writing.

Below are some quick tags on a few different surfaces, The NY Mop works really well on smooth surfaces but your need to watch with rough ones. The first is on an old cement bag, its surprisingly rough but the Mop coped well. The second is on a plank of wood, instead of writing on it, i dabbed the NY Mop to try a new style, i also made a T out from drips.

Overall The NY Mop and Grog Ink is a great bombing combo, which will never let you down. So log on to Fat Buddha and check out the awesome prices and next day delivery or go into the store for the banterful staff and stunning store.

Thanks for reading
Regards, Calum.
