Got the latest issue of Classic Pop. They had a guide to Roxy Music plus an article about 4AD record label (I must try + read the book about them). They also had an interview w/Yoko Ono and a review of the new Sheila E. album. They also had a feature on Camden (when I lived in London I used to go there a lot, you used to be able to buy bootleg ( Read more... )

Finally caught up w/season finale of Elementary. I’ll admit that I didn’t like it to start with but it really grew on me. To be honest I do still prefer BBC Sherlock but I dunno, come back + ask me when BBC Sherlock has as many hours under its belt + maybe the answer will be different. But Elementary still has a lot going for it esp Jonny Lee ( Read more... )

Got new issue of Company which had interviews with various feminist activists and an article on the rise of online cute. There is a part of me that will forever remain a 7 yr old girl as I love fluffy kittens, cupcakes and sparkly things. But I have a weakness for cute with a twist/darker edge as well ( Read more... )

( My favourite TV of 2012 - part 2 )

Got new issue of Nylon magazine, it had a bit on models as beauty icons but I thought they chose quite obvious ones like Cindy Crawford and Lauren Hutton and it would have been nice to have a bit more variety. They also had a little bit on Karl Lagerfeld's range for She Uemura and some band, The Babies, namechecked Apollonia 6's Sex Shooter as one ( Read more... )

Got new issue of Gay Times - it had interviews with Immodesty Blaize (famous burlesque performer) and Sharon Needles (winner of RuPaul's Drag Race - I only ever saw one series but I loved it, I really wish they would show it over here) and The Blonds (they're a design duo who now have a Barbie inspired by their designs). There was also a review of ( Read more... )

Got new issue of Uncut as it had a big feature on Rolling Stones - also had Adam Ant discussing his favourite music & a review of the reissue of Generation Terrorists ( Read more... )

I promise I had not made up my mind about Elementary before I saw it, I was quite prepared to like it but as it was I thought it was OK at best, I'll reserve judgement till I've seen a couple more episodes but for me personally, it failed to hit the mark ( Read more... )

yesterday's Times had an article on best box sets - I thought they did miss out some of my favourites like OZ or Life On Mars. They also had an extract from the 2nd volume of Brian Sewell's memoirs discussing his friendship with Anthony Blunt. Caitlin Moran also wrote a very good article on schizophrenia- short but insightful, and a very good ( Read more... )
