REVIEW: Mogwai at Mandela Hall

Mogwai are like a warm blanket, the heaviest, cosiest blanket there is. They wrap you up so completely in their sound that there is no escape from the waves of feedback and distortion that wash over your body. Unless of course they decide to let you escape, because they’re like that, a cat playing with a mouse.

NEWS: Palestine Solidarity Society disrupts Law lecture

The Palestinian Solidarity Society today disrupted a lecture by Solon Solomon, former member of the Israeli Parliament’s legal department, on Israel’s right to self-defence. Entering the lecture, members of the society heckled the lecturer forcing it to be brought to a close after seven minutes. Members of the panel had to be removed from the room by security in the interests of their own safety to calls of “Cheerio, cheerio, cheerio.” The PSS was apparently videoing the lecture without permission.

FEATURES: I’d like to thank all the little people…

It’s that time of year again when inhabitants of Hollywood feast on diets comprising solely of green food, the sofa is substituted for the sun-bed, colonic irrigation becomes as frequent as yoga and dozens of identical statuettes are frantically polished gold. For the 83^rd year, Hollywood’s finest gather to honour the most talented, unique and deserving of the acting calibre. This year, a stammering king, a technology phenomenon and a disturbed ballerina are characters in the biggest drama of all: the Oscars.
