Music Video Monday… Fred Astaire – Puttin’ On The Ritz

by Sticky Toffee Pudding

You’ve really got to marvel at the wonders of the internet haven’t you? I mean what did people do before the rise of that glorious pit of procrastination that is Youtube? How did people ever avoid doing the things they were meant to be doing? After all there’s only so many times you can play PONG … Continue Reading

Friday Fancy : Unicorn Kid

by Fairy Cake

The Friday feeling I have today evades traditional emotive description. I fear the only way I could possibly begin to illustrate to anyone the sense of crushing entrapment impounding me, would be to lock them in a small cage, and repeatedly bang on the steel exterior while yelling “EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING FUN AND YOU ARE GOING TO DIE SAD AND ALONE”.

Gaga : An Outsider’s Best Friend?

Gaga : An Outsider’s Best Friend?

by Gypsy Tart

‘But, she’s not even fit’ says a certain straight male friend, ‘I don’t get all the nudity and stuff if she’s not fit.’ And so it is that the debate of Lady Gaga and her appeal to the queers and weirdos of the world rises again.

To those of us looking in from the outside of the sugary, fluffy world of mainstream pop culture, Gaga’s appeal is exactly that; although she’s still a skinny, middle-class white girl like the rest of the pop tart army, she’s not ‘conventionally’ attractive. … Continue Reading

TMC Interviews: Holly Miranda, on trucks, Tool and getting punched in the face.

TMC Interviews: Holly Miranda, on trucks, Tool and getting punched in the face.

by Fairy Cake, pictures by Holly Falconer

It was a bit surreal watching Holly Miranda take to the stage at Truck Festival. About an hour before, the singer songwriter and I had been holed up in a too-hot van, discussing Motown and mosh-pit etiquette; her, a delicate-looking 27 year old with no ego, no attitude, and a quiet Yank drawl that my shitty dictaphone struggled to pick up over the backstage buzz. … Continue Reading

TMC Interview: Crystal Fighters hit logs and tell us about their tonsils

TMC Interview: Crystal Fighters hit logs and tell us about their tonsils

by Anna, pictures by Holly Falconer

Okay I admit it – I’d been expecting five Crystal Fighters: three boys and two Spanish girls with poetic things to say about Basque mysticism and chord structures. And perhaps some leaves sticking in their hair, going by the promo shots that wasn’t wildly unreasonable. Anyway we just got the boys – Sebastian, Gilbert and Graham – but they were great too. We pressed them into them into the greasy leather seats at the Twat Boutique Warehouse and made them answer our questions.

When Peaches came to Twat Boutique

When Peaches came to Twat Boutique

by Petit Fours, photo Holly Falconer

Peaches DJ-ed at the Twat Boutique Warehouse Party, I managed to grab her arm, but then had to let go because she was in pain and Holly took one picture.

Considering Peaches has probably fisted more bodily cavities than I’ve ever seen, pretty much taught me all the slang words for genitalia that I know, and has well, released a shitload of cult electroclash hits, I was pretty nervous about meeting her in the flesh. … Continue Reading

Music Video Monday… Joe Worricker

by Fairy Cake

“New soul”, is not, traditionally, a genre I would choose to associate with. My music collection has about as much soul as the 2004 remake of Dawn Of The Dead. The only thing that Amy Winehouse inspires in me is the irrepressible urge to burn things.

Music Video Monday… California Gurls

by Devil’s Food Cake

It’s widely accepted that, when it comes to most things, the original is the best. Fame, The Karate Kid, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? – though copies and subsequent versions have been made of many things, the originals often are, in fact, the best.

Not always though. … Continue Reading

TMC do Tegan and Sara: Sara Quin on Springsteen, emo and pie.

by Fairy Cake, interview pictures by Christa Holka, live pictures by Sophie Allen.

It’s 12.15pm on a roasting Thursday afternoon, and, already, a long train of plaid shirts and Very Shane Today haircuts is stretched out along the pavement of Chalk Farm road.  The girls shift restlessly against the steel barriers, … Continue Reading
