Westminster Eye - Hamish Common

One area of public spending doesn’t seem attract much interest from students, apart from the odd comment that in a modern society we don’t really need one any more: Britain’s Armed Forces. The arguments for a serious rethink on our defence forces are strong. The annual budget

Various - Beavis and Butthead do America

The idea of a TV show based on the antics of a pair of teenage heavy metal fans who shriek and groan at every opportunity must have seemed intensely daft to someone at some point. Even so, a series was born with the main topics being "chicks ‘n stuff&

Cranes - Population four

This is the Cranes who have been around for a while, but this is their first release for several years. It’s well crafted and the songs compliment one another nicely. They start off simply with little more than an acoustic guitar and the singer’s voice. As the album

A Fish called Wanda is the second most successful British film ever, and so it comes as little surprise that they have reteamed the same players to try and wrestle the record away from Four Wedding and a Funeral. Thus, we have Fierce Creatures not a sequel but involving all

Mighty IC rule the waves

The first head race of the season saw Imperial crews sweep the opposition away with apparent ease at the Peterborough Head of the Nene. The pre-Christmas training camp and hard winter work is obviously starting to pay dividends, with the men’s crews claiming the top four positions overall in

So you can still remember the Oasis versus Blur showdown sometime during the summer of ‘95, as though it was yesterday. There was the frantic rush of hysteria and Blur ended up the winners with their song ‘Country House’ charting at number one. Now after a year and a half

Irma Vep - ICA Cinema

Based around the shooting of a film in the suburbs of Paris, Irma Vep is a deeply satirical look at modern French cinema. It is essentially the simple story line of the obsessive director attempting the impossible - to recreate the magic of Feuillade’s early silent classic ‘Les Vampires’
