November 06, 2008,
Written by Fern Edwards
January isn't always the most eventful of months. The excitement of the Christmas period is over, New Years resolutions are made and ignored, it's colder than December, shops start flogging all their past-season stock, term-time starts again, yadda yadda yadda. But here's something to forward to:

Animal Collective are bound for the UK, upon release of their 9th studio album Merriweather Post Pavillion, set for release on January 12th (January 20th in the US) and from what I have heard live (October 2007 in St George's Church, Brighton - one of my all time favourite gigs) I am expecting something beyond fantastic. Here is the full list of dates:
11-06 Santiago, Chile - Industria Cultural
11-08 São Paulo, Brazil - Planeta Terra Festival
11-09 Buenos Aires, Argentina - La Trastienda
11-13 Lima, Peru - Centro Fundación Telefónica
01-12 London, England - Koko
01-13 Glasgow, Scotland - Glasgow School of Arts

Schadenfreude. I think you've pretty much covered it in the last paragraph: when we're down, we search for culture which empathises; when we're up, we search for culture which makes us see the value and worth of our current 'positive' situation. Not everyone though: some people detest dark comedy, cynical people and skeptical views. [view article]

Hey there :) Just wondered, did you take the pictures yourself? Its just im currently completing my Final Major Project for my publishing course and im making a music magazine. Having a massive problem with copywrite :/ If you did take the pictures would i be able to use the ones of pulled apart by horses? because they are the best ive found :P they really capture how mental they are. You would be a MASSIVE help. Id put your name on the pictures and if you want i can sent you the mag when its done so you can put it in a portfolio or summat? Would be a MASSIVE help :) If your interested could you email me on only-inhuman@hotmail.com Cheers :) [view article]
