Mr Miyazaki We Pay Homage......

The Waltz Disney of the east, Hayao Miyazaki has for too long been ignored by western eyes. A man who has personally drawn and supervised all of his feature films ( a claim Waltz Disney could never adhere to), is surely the greatest Anime director/director period of all time. His exuberant take on life and his odd penchant for Lynch-like fatalism makes him a perfect candidate for scenester adoration. The pimp daddy has produced many cult classics, from My Neighbour Totoro to Princess Monoke( google now). But a must watch is "Spirited Away".

Commonly quoted as one the greatest anime flicks ever, the use of colour, traditional Japanese mysticism and good old fashioned good versus evil, makes this movie a must see. Although if you want a movie your less alien to, try "Howls Moving Castle", a western novel based on humorous wizardly, it entails an all star cast of Christian Bale, Jean Simmons and Emily Mortimer. (Emily's father is an fascinating character, read his books!)

Basically, if you don't know, get to know.

M.F Hussian, A Genius or A Traitior?

This man, has achieved more than you can ever dream of. Known as "India Greatest Living Artist", he revolutionized art forever. Born during the the first world war, he is a man accustom to conflict and has placed into exile numerous times.

A motherless child from the age of one, he found comfort in art, and the acclaimed "J.J School of Art"in India, where he began to make a name for himself, through cartoons and cinema boardings. It was during his trips to Europe, where he made his millions, and was later quoted by TIME magazine as "the Picasso of India" by the 60's he was a key player, finding yet more acclaim with his film, "Through The Eyes Of A Painter". Recently, he has been projected back into the media limelight because of a piece called the "Raping Of India", in which it is a pastiche of the raging bulls of Pamplona, but curtailed with an India perspective. The piece of ART has caused mass hysteria and was simply a mirror to the social change occurring in India, not a base view of India society.

Sorry, ever heard of freedom of speech?

What I Iz Reading.

(Sarah Kane)

Well, being the bereft social retard I am, I often find solace in the comfort of books. And a certain book has recently caught my attention, namely in Anton Chekov's a Collection of short stories. After the advice from an acclaimed writer to "go back the classics" I found that discovering classics that were genuinely enjoyable was is bit like wading through feces to find a diamond, except the feces had long Russian names, which were often quoted by faux intelligent hipsters (i.e me).

The Bronte family are well versed, but fecking boring, unless love stories with no sex and with rapey disjointed men sends your heart racing. "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac, is interesting at best, plot-less at worst, drugs are cool, i get it, now fuck off back to San Fransisco.

But in Chekov, I found beauty and form in the prose, the judgement of rich and poor and a seemingly apathetic view of the relationships, forcing a empathetic emotional connection to his work. While reading the story beggar, I saw parallels with Sarah Kane's play 4.49 psychosis and the so called "In ya FAAACEE" nineties period of theatre, informing the ignorant that raw emotion are not solely emitted from the working youth, but are apparently a class wide phenomenon.

P.S John Updike is the world's, best perv, read his shit, who ever thought suburban middle class bonking could be so jokes.

Mickey What?

Ok, so you all know The Cool Kids right, their oh so ironic stance on hip-pop is semi-cool, semi annoying, but mostly they're talentless fuckwits. These annoyances granted, they're still pretty dope, and so is a less well known counterpart, namely Mickey Factz. An ex para-legal, this member of the intelligentsia has managed to create something the Cool Kids could not, genuine music. His world view is open and educated, and is a welcome change to the general, "we're so freeking AWEsomeeee" of most hip pop. We found another Lupe.
