FEATURES: I want my… I want my… I want my MTV…
Saturday, December 3rd, 2011
It has become hackneyed to point out that MTV (which stands for ‘Music Television’, in case you weren’t aware) no longer plays music videos. And it’s a justified cliché too, one that makes up the bulk of why MTV has apparently lost its relevancy, but sadly it appears the company’s greatest crime is the inability to live up to its legacy.

FEATURES: Bills, bills, bills
Saturday, December 3rd, 2011
It’s a sad moment when we realise how coddled we were growing up: not having to worry about oil or gas or paying for electricity. Yet, now when cash is coming from our own pockets, it’s time to wake up and stop wasting.

REVIEW: Volume Control at the Ulster Hall
Saturday, December 3rd, 2011
Given that the first official gig of Belfast Music Week fell on Halloween, the abundance of superheroes, witches and tiger onesies was assumed. The first band of the night, Colly Strings, unsuccessfully attempted to emulate the gothic cool of A Clockwork Orange’s Alex DeLarge. Instead, they resembled a quartet of immaculately turned out butlers. Dubious costume choices aside, the band won over the crowd with a splendid set, but still paled in comparison to the next twenty minutes from Rainy Boy Sleep.

REVIEW: Belfast Calling
Friday, December 2nd, 2011
The MTV EMAs were incredible. Whether you liked the music, layout or even the show itself, it’s obvious there was a lot of effort to make Belfast look as great as possible. But what would the average tourist be met with, stumbling into some bar offering live music? Well, if it’s anything like the music heard at Belfast Calling, there would be no doubt that they would be blown away.

FEATURES: Kids’ TV – Still Live and Kicking?
Thursday, December 1st, 2011
When you look back on your childhood and early adolescence, there’s a big chance that many of your brightest memories will contain the hypnotic tinge of the television set. Most of us will remember those Saturday mornings, sneaking downstairs before everyone else, to sample a dose of Live and Kicking, SM:TV Live or Den TV. Even now we can’t shake off the influence of Dustin the Turkey or the Animaniacs, as someone on those nights out takes it upon themselves to be the comedian extraordinaire, playing their well-worn repertoire of impersonations and recycled jokes garnered from the shows that made them giggle all those years ago.
