Artist- Rachel McClean
As Art should contain major perceptions concerning our modern world, Rachel McClean combines these excellently to create films of fictionalised nursey rhymes combined with advertisements, wrapped in darker observations of human behaviour, desires and habits. Incorporating current concerns, history, consumerism, capitalism, poverty and religion. ( Read more... ) -
What I love about Rick and Morty
Out of all the series I could be watching my brother recommended me Rick and Morty. I didn’t give it tonnes of time initially, as I’m simply bad at watching TV, even any series I find interesting. Though through the bond we have as brother and sister (he seems to know my taste in things like film and television) Rick and Morty is one of those that ( Read more... ) -
Recent Pop Music
Melanie Martinez- Cry Baby
Saccharin pop music with dense dark lyrics are a trend in music at the moment which I happen to enjoy. However I purchased Melanie Martinez’s ‘Cry Baby’, and for reasons that escape me, bearly listen to it. The music isn’t at all bad I like particular tracks especially ‘Soap’, ‘Pity Party’ and ‘Pacify Her’. Though there ( Read more... ) -
The Profound Messages of Geeks
I feel kind of humbled… This is not a new story, such topics have been covered by other novels, TV series or films, notably Star Trek, Dr Who and X-men but many others beside. Though over the past few years, I’ve began to appreciate the messages in franchises like Star Wars and Harry Potter. These are very popular franchises, which even though I ( Read more... ) -
So about this Harry Potter Guy….
I have only recently read the Harry Potter series. As soon as the films came out, I vehemently disliked and distanced myself from the franchise, when flocks of my classmates and friends were rushing towards it with open arms.
There was various reasons for this; there was far too many things at that time, which were taking my attention. I had ( Read more... ) -
Review: The Girl With All The Gifts, by M R Carey
I've been meaning to read TGWATG, since I saw a review of it in a news paper suppliment many years ago. What's prompted me to read it recently is the release of the film based on the book that came out last year. The ideas and themes seem different to any other post-apocalypic story that I've come across. And when reading the novel I was deeply ( Read more... ) -
Life at the Moment
I was hoping to blog much more often than I have lately. Whenever I've thought about it, I end up feeling discouraged by the amount of ideas I'd like to express. I've been writing an essay on my observations on Feminisim and how that movement has changed and the subject matter is so intense and complex that I'm not happy to post that just quite yet ( Read more... ) -
Shared Music Tastes
The entire reasaon way I love music so much is because of my dad; without his influence I wouldn't be quite so enthusiastic about researching new bands and musicians. So it comes as no surpraise that due to sharing this knowledge so openingly with my family, we have ended up sharing some similar tastes. Over last year, through various reasons there ( Read more... ) -
Music Gifts from January 2016
Jill Tracy- Diabolical StreakSo glad I finally got this album..... The perfect thing to listen to of a late Winters Day!... Deeply morbid and atmospheric; Tracy's gloriously nasally and seductive songs slide over you like poisonous snakes, accompanied by haunting piano. Like all particulary short but wonderfully crafted music, each song is ( Read more... ) -
Retail, Capitalism and the Modern World
I've worked in retail since I was 19, and this has given me a very interesting insight into how people think and behave towards others and stuff. I opted to get in to retail initially as I felt this would help my understanding of value ( Read more... )
