Name: Killa Kela Occupation: Internationally renowned beatboxer extraordinaire, collaborator to the stars, sometime gossip magazine mainstay. Where’s he from? Twenty-eight year old Lee Potter is originally from Billingshurst, West Sussex, and he…
From his days as ringleader of prime industrialists Throbbing Gristle through various incarnation of PTV, Genesis P Orridge has never creatively stood still. His early music proved a defining influence on Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails, and he…
PAINTING Amber Roome, Edinburgh, until Thu 4 Oct As verdigris slices through neon lime, which in turn is edged with bright jade, Richard Strachan’s pragmatically titled ‘Green/Yellow’, becomes a crystalline image that seems to take you deep into the…
CHILDREN’S BOOKS Once upon a time, it was perfectly acceptable for an entertainer to devote their life to one career. These days, however, if you don’t learn to ice skate, cook or dash off a kids’ book in your spare time, you’re a veritable…
COMEDY/DRAMA (15) 101min Having charmed cinema-goers with his enthralling Oscar-nominated documentary Spellbound, director Jeffrey Blitz works a different kind of magic with this beguiling fiction film debut. Where his first film followed a bunch of…

SCULPTURE AND PAINTING It would be wrong to immediately dismiss the new work on show by Scott Myles at the Modern Institute at first glance, as your initial aesthetic reaction will be incorrect. It may seem overly dramatic to say that the painted…
The Cult are back! Raaaaaaaaar, let’s party like it’s 1987! Actually, let’s not bother, because Ian Astbury and co’s latest comeback, ‘Dirty Little Rockstar’ (Roadrunner) •• is a lacklustre rehash of their Stones and AC/DC roots, except creakier in the…
Sam is 15. He skates, chases girls and narrates his own coming-of-age novel. Things are going well until he gets one of those girls pregnant and is introduced to the world of adult responsibility. Plus, his father figure is a poster of pro-skater Tony…
INDIE A Series of Unanswered Questions (Sonorous) Melding atmospheric electronics and indie rock guitar histrionics is often a tricky gig; the two battle for supremacy in the mix and often end up cancelling each other out. Sonorous live up to…
The confessions of a self-justified jerk-off continue in this follow-up to The Poor Bastard, which collects the next four issues of Matt’s ongoing comic Peepshow. If anything, Spent (as in ejaculated and knackered) is an even more brazenly confessional…
We’ve been banging on a bit about album titles a bit this issue but In Our Bedroom After the War sounds likes its dripping with sonic possibilities, and that’s before you’ve even take the disc out of the case (or record out of the sleeves, blessed vinyl…
Naming albums is tricky business – you’re going to have to live with it for eternity, so when TAMGC (as they shall be know here for space reasons) named their album Fighting and Onions you just kind of knew they were a bit special. With a sound that is…
It’s not often we’re called upon to be sympathetic to the police officers who mistakenly killed Jean Charles de Menezes on the London Underground in July 2005. Nor are we expected to find time for those fundamentalists who prefer the bomb to the ballot…
The team that brought us The Wee Chill joins forces with Bacardi for this massive party that should rock Byblos to its foundations, taking in hip hop, scratching, live acts, deep house and monster breaks. It’s an equally impressive line up featuring…
ROCK Barfly, Glasgow, Thu 6 Sep ‘Did you see his hair? Did you see his arms? Did you see his teeth?’ The post-gig analysis comes in many forms, but for some it had an overwhelmingly teenybopper feel when The Graduate left the stage after this…
Peter Arnott’s work is always political, but seldom didactic. The contemporary nature of Arnott’s vision is as well demonstrated in his recent Cyprus as in any of his work, for as this piece investigating the murky world of our intelligence services and…
HORROR (15) 103mins (Tartan Asia Extreme) Based loosely on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, and the Powell and Pressburger film of the same name, this Korean psychological horror flick’s biggest inspiration is perhaps the likes of The…
Rick Geary has produced stories and art for everyone from Heavy Metal and National Lampoon to Disney. However, recently he’s been focusing on his ‘Treasury of Victorian Murder’, which has covered Jack the Ripper through to The Murder of Abraham Lincoln…
A compelling account of the challenging and toppling of undemocratic governments by youth resistance groups across ‘the second world’, from Serbia to Georgia, through the Ukraine, Lebanon and beyond, Matthew Collin’s latest book is as much a tribute to…
Ever dealt with the green-eyed monster? If not, you’re lucky, but most likely you have. Mark Thomson, never one to shirk the “difficult” plays of Shakespeare’s oeuvre, has chosen to begin the Lyceum’s autumn season with The Winter’s Tale. Aside from…
JAZZ Illuminated (Helium Records) When you hear an awful lot of jazz CDs that sound broadly similar in terms of instrumental sonority and idioms, it is always refreshing to be hit by something that comes out of leftfield when you slip a new disc into…
WAR DRAMA (15) 137min (Nouveaux Pictures/DVD retail) Like Sergei Bondarchuk’s earlier Destiny of a Man, this is taken from a book by Mikhail Sholokhov, a writer best known for And Quiet Flows the Don. Unlike that film, this is a multi-character…
HOUSE/FUNK/SOUL The Buff, Glasgow, Fri 28 Sep There is a now an alternative to the customary quick drink after work and it comes in the form of the SoCo Social, a series of free gigs in Glasgow that run from 6pm until 10pm. The first event took…
With a title like that and these spooky stories being told to a boy called Edgar, it’s hard not to think that this is a tribute to the creator of literary chillers, Mr Poe. And while reading this, it’s highly conceivable to hear the liquidy tones of…
