Jamie xx - "Gosh" British producer Jamie xx is a master at making a handful of ingredients sound like a lot. Despite the understated style of his indie pop band, The xx, Jamie is able to take even their most diminutive compositions and make them sound vast. A good case in point is Read more...

Gorillaz Sound System

Posted 1:52pm Sunday 3rd May 2015 by Basti Menkes

Napoleon Dynamite

Posted 1:33pm Sunday 3rd May 2015 by Ella Borrie

Cult It’s impossible to have a lukewarm reaction to Napoleon Dynamite. The film divides people — you either adore its low-key absurdity or find it totally pointless. In fact, the movie is so polarising, it broke Netflix’s algorithm. The website couldn’t accurately Read more...

The Age of Adaline

Posted 1:28pm Sunday 3rd May 2015 by Shaun Swain
