. . . I spoke with Paul Masvidal-guitarist, singer, and a founding member of Cynic-backstage in New York City a few days ago as of this writing. As I was packing up after the interview, we talked briefly about "pick-me-up" albums. Everyone has one or two: my father's is Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA , my mother's is Fleetwood Mac's 1997 live record The Dance . Cynic's Traced in Air is my pick-me-up album. True story: once, when I was out of medication, I listened to TiA in the midst of [...]
Due to the recent debate on misogyny in dance music, Tech experimental outfit Renaissance Man have been discussing changing their name to Renaissance Person. Ville Haimala from Renaissance Man said in a recent interview: "We are in the process of changing our name to Renaissance Person, which is not to say polymathic tendencies would be a capacity exclusive to homo sapiens." Turbo label owner Tiga agreed: "Your name is shockingly arrogant, not to mention borderline sexist." Are they being serious? Or are they trying to draw some attention to their recent album release [...]

Are there any British games? "Well, of course", is what you're probably thinking right now. What a silly question! Some of the best games developers in the world are based in our lovely Green and Pleasant Land, and as a game developing nation Britain has quite a lot of history. Back in the eighties British games were some of the most popular in the world, and every man and his robotic dog were involved in the gaming industry in some way. It's this era that spawned countless seminal hits, from the ground-breaking platforming of Manic Miner and [...]

Baltimore - I want to start the article with an RIP to Tim Hetherington. Tim was the director of Restrepo, a documentary about the war in Afghanistan that I reviewed a few months back in the series. Yesterday, Tim was fatally-wounded by mortar fire while reporting in Libya. Besides obviously highlighting the dangers in his profession and his subjects' daily life, I suppose I experienced an ironic, meta moment. Might today's Arab revolution be something of a canary (OK a big canary... er... the Big Bird ?) in the coal mine for established democracies? Who knows - gas prices [...]
