REVIEW: Elbow – Build a Rocket Boys!
BY JAMES PATTERSON
When Elbow began the recording process for Build a Rocket Boys! back in late 2009, one can only imagine how the proverbial ‘elephant-in-the-studio’ – i.e. the sudden onset of recognition and success following the acceptance of a Mercury Music Award in 2008 for The Seldom Seen Kid – might have affected the band’s confidence in approaching their next record.

REVIEW: Norwegian Wood
BY LAURA SHEARER
For fans of the famous Haruki Murakami novel, it was a very mixed reaction at the announcement of a film adaptation. With negative remarks from his readership in Japan and a somewhat more welcomed success worldwide, Norwegian Wood is one of the most talked about films to be released outside of Japan this year.

FEATURES: A kiss with a fist
BY BEN FINCH
Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E. entered the UK Album Chart on Sunday at number ten, while Yeah 3X has spent nine weeks in the Top 40 and will probably hang around like a fart under a duvet for a good while. This is a man who has been convicted of assault on Rihanna, a wife-beater you could say. Surely it’s in no way appropriate to buy any of his music?

LETTER: Another side to the fees debate
Dear Sir, I write in relation to the protest march scheduled for April 6th in opposition to higher student fees and education cuts. I feel it is only fair that both sides of the argument are represented. I feel the argument of the protesters is devoid of reason and deficient of understanding. There is a veil of ignorance surrounding the need for the current changes and the impact they are likely to have.

FEATURES: Today’s news tomorrow’s fish and chip paper?
BY CLAIRE WILLIAMSON
It is not hard to imagine a breaking story that takes the world by storm. Every news channel, newspaper and their online contingencies are covering it. Everywhere you look people are talking about the current ‘hot topic’ but then, almost as quickly as it enters our lives it disappears again. Is today’s news becoming tomorrow’s fish and chip paper?

NEWS: Union General Meeting turnout “a disgrace”
BY SEAN ASHFORD
What was intended to be only the second UGM of the year ended before it could begin as the minimum threshold of students attending failed to be reached. This prevented multiple issues being addressed including voting over the rules governing such meetings, gambling in the Students’ Union and motions relating to the protest on higher tuition fees to take place on the 6 April.

FEATURES: TV Cooks – Just a load of effin’ and cheffin’?
BY ROBERT MCGARRELLTelevision of the past few years has taken upon itself the need to fill our screens with more and more programming on work. As if the 9-5 grind isn’t enough for us, we see a range of programmes such as the Apprentice, MasterChef, Project Runway were people claw and scramble for the attention and approval of their relevant head-honchos or gurus in the trade. I can’t vouch for the realism of the Apprentice (although if the incomprehensible idiocy and the shameless backstabbing is realistic it explains a lot of what happened to our banking system), and as for Project Runway well I have no idea, people do that for their job? Really?
