REVIEW: Red Hot Chilli Peppers- I’m With You

‘Red Hot’ or Luke Warm? The tenth studio album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a band now entering their fourth decade of music, could hardly be expected to be a decisive one, nor would it be the make or break album of their career, however these indie rock and roll stalwarts ambitions have not weakened over time.

REVIEW:Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is both the tirelessly faithful adaptation of the John le Carré novel and the next film by Tomas Alfredson, who had critic’s falling over themselves to come up with new superlatives to describe the admittedly somewhat messy Let The Right One In. Boasting a fantastic cast and much critical kudos, does Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy see the mainstream arrival of a new talent?

THE HOOD

After a summer rioting it’s nice to settle back into the university lifestyle.

In case you didn’t know, Jason O’Neill is our SU President, as he is fond of reminding staff. Most recently after a night out he thought he should show some mates the office. And he can, ‘cos he’s the SU President you know. It’s just security didn’t seem to know that he’s allowed to do whatever he pleases.

So the big question is: who will be the first to break in their desk? Will it be one of the Derry girls? VP Clubs and Socs who needed some high necklines after the first Monday Union. After walking into a door, clearly, not a hicky. McGibbon and Kidd probably already have.

Asides from The Rape of the University Challenge, the other minor scandal from the summer surrounds gay pride (the other controversial, flamboyantly dressed parade of the summer). Accusations have flown that the SU is Anti-Christian. After all, the poor Christians are the tiniest society, and have virtually no say in NI society, or politics. And bitter, crusty, stuffed-shirt McGibbon seeks to further oppress these fun loving bible-bashers by displaying a twenty foot by ten foot rainbow flag. Boo! Rotter!
