Woodcuts : Cardboard : Scrapbooks
When my three year old comes back from nursery then potato prints and corrugated card models are to be expected. But they are the sorts of thing only a parent could love. Andrew Mockett on the other hand has produced an exhibition that even ...
Rampton Caine (1933-2009)
Legend of stage and screen Rampton Caine quietly passed away in a Sierra Leone field hospital this morning. Adam Lee Davies looks back over his turbulent life and extraordinary career.
To sum up the life of any man is no simple thing, but when it ...

Printed Papers - Stanley Donwood
20th March - 10th April
The lovely little ink_d gallery on North Road is filled with the smells of paint, and a transparent floor board allows a sneaky view into the basement studio space. Voyeurism, a sense of modern malaise and the notion of Big Brother are ...
Zeeb? - Zeeb As Thermal Detonator In
Gargantuan Rock Monster
This is straight up punk rock, but Zeeb fail to gain any momentum throughout their second album. Though they are not doing anything that hasn't been done before, they admittedly do it well. This is despite unimaginative titles - ...
Agitated punkers and 'doo-wop' ska band create a storm in Brighton
Phinius Gage & The King Blues
Phinius Gage opened up to a crowd who looked on slightly nonchalantly, but that didn't stop the Brighton punkers from putting their all into the show. Starting with a ...
Everybody's gone surfin'
It's a Million Man March! One million people all unified with a common goal is great, unless it is the glorious Red Army coming over your back fence because you expressed an unwelcome idea. But this isn't that; it is something else.
There are now one million signed ...
Dani and the Gypsies The sun has been shining for me this week so I have been mainly pleasuring myself on the seafront. As I strolled past the excrement of Duke's Mound cottage zone, I noticed that the council has thoughtfully provided a caravan park by the Black Rock trains station. They are to be commended ...
London 2 Brighton Today saw the first of this year's oddball migrations to the seafront. The Pioneer Motorcycle Run sent lovable eccentrics pootling down to Brighton on their pre-1925 motorbikes. Cute. There is nothing more endearing than a man so obsessed with his hobby that even his clothing and hairstyle is dictated by the era of his motorbike. From now until ...
Who Needs Friends Like These?
Dear friend,
You are a friend of a friend, about whom I know even less than I know about crop rotation in the fourteenth century, or marine biology, or correct programming syntax. Having said that, I can claim to know more about sheep ...
Lily Allen
Lily the songstress talks with Allen the twitterer.
Lily: You're losing control a bit and it's really distasteful
Allen:Ok I'm going to bake a cake
Lily: You waste my time and waste my money
Allen: Oh well better than ...

Beautiful Brutal Bronson
My sole aim in life is to be romantic. Forget all that flowers and chocolates bullshit, I mean proper romantic-like taking your girlfriend to a spectacularly violent film.
Saturday night at the movies, who cares what picture you see? I do. I One Word
Pete Doherty
Pete seems a happy chappy, and is a shining example of how live life for the here and now. Very Zen.
Super models, heroine, rock'n'roll.
Make sure you see him, you don't want to be putting this one off till next time. You never know when he is going to choke ...

World Court To Reclaim 14th March What did you get up to on 14th March 2009? If you went out it is safe to assume that Arthur Guinness was involved. If you were in Brighton you may well have been in the Boyce Street area for the largest Irish themed celebration in the south of England. St Patrick's day is the most ...
Mr Phil's Psychedelic Circuit Board
Mister Phil fell inside a psychedelic circuit board about a year ago.
Whilst attempting an escape, bits of his brain became hard-wired in and the resulting images appeared on the monitor.
A passing IT worker printed them out and displayed them ...

SINGLE REVIEW:
The Brian Jacket Letdown
'White Sky'
It's been a good ol' while since TBJL hit us up with their sonic airbrushes. Lying largely fallow since '07, the band's ever changing line-up have since enlisted the help of bassist Alyssa McDonald of Scritti Politti fame. Along with Alyssa, newcomer Gemma Ware fans The Jacket's flames with her oddball box of ...

ALBUM REVIEW:
Dirty Stop Out
'Cuntro Classics Volume 1'
As the play on words in the title suggests, Volume 1 in a succession of similar releases is a brazen, filthy, fuck-mouth dollop of psycho billy, country punk and rock'n'roll. Comprising seven tracks, Volume 1 is hosted by three whip-ass collaborators who ...
SINGLE REVIEW:
Sunday Driver
'Rats / The Gayatri Mantra'
It's both a shame and no surprise that the Cambridge sixpiece, Sunday Driver, haven't garnered the recognition they perhaps ought to have during their nine years as a band. A melting pot outfit of characters, they marry traditional Indian sounds and instruments with very eccentric Englishness: ...
DoFollow: Let the love flow.
The Hussy likes to hear what you have to say and enjoys your comments on each and every subject. At this point I will introduce two words that many of you will never of heard before: Commentluv and Dofollow, If you know understand the ...
Sex/Domestic Slaves
That I Have Known
Everyone knows the bit in the excellent movie 'Personal Services' where a triumvirate of elderly gardeners ask the character played by Julie Walters (Cynthia Payne of luncheon voucher fame) how much the fee would be to tend to her 'vegetable patch' (crikey missus !!). She responds somewhat ...
Rambert Dance Company
Eternal Light Tour 2009
To begin with, I should just make it absolutely clear - I know nothing about dance.
My personal involvement doesn't go much beyond bad disco and my frame of reference for dance-as-an-art-form stretches from the aspirational saccharine of Billy Elliot to the ...
Great
Escape Festival 2009 PREVIEW
May 14th - 15th - 16th
Looking at the current line-up for this year's Great Escape Festival is almost like looking at my own fantasy festival roster (sadly I don't think Marvin Gaye or Jeff Buckley are available
...Theatre, Art, Music and Events for your pleasure
What's on, where, when and why. This is not a all-inclusive list. We haven't included any mediocre crap. If you would like to see something mediocre, go somewhere else. Elementary my dear Whatson.

We have done our best to list what we think are the best - or most interesting - things ...
Charity Wankathon
Charity may begin at home but it is becoming impossible to keep it out of my home. It is seeping out through my television, computer and radio.
The Comic Relief - Red Nose Climb http://www.rednoseday.com/climb sums it all up. It's got middling celebrities earnestly saving the world by attempting a death-defying feat neatly packed, wrapped and distributed ...
