Quiche

Posted 3:53am Monday 3rd October 2011 by Critic

With uni getting more stressful by the day (seriously - nervous breakdown imminent), a meal that takes 20 mins to throw together and another 30 mins or so to cook sounds ideal. Making a quiche is really easy. It requires minimal preparation and then you pretty much just throw it in the oven and walk Read more...

Walton EP

Posted 6:25am Monday 19th September 2011 by Critic

(3/5) The debut release from fresh-faced 20-year-old Mancunian producer Sam Walton (aka Walton), the simple titled Walton EP finds Hyperdub producing yet another clinical yet widely experimental EP.   Effortlessly blending genres from UK Garage to an almost relaxed post-dubstep vibe, Read more...

Teenage Hate/Fuck Elvis Here's the Reatards

Posted 6:24am Monday 19th September 2011 by Critic

Four Tapes. (4/5) With his already esteemed reputation receiving a typical post-death boost, Teenage Hate/Fuck Elvis Here’s the Reatards sees a superbly packaged reissue of early material from late punk hero Jay Reatard. The liner notes accurately crediting Reatard with “Guitar, Read more...

Mama's Red Lentil Dhal

Posted 6:22am Monday 19th September 2011 by Critic

I think it’s time for a collective sigh of relief. Winter is pretty much over and a head of broccoli is less than $2 again. Let the joyous prancing ensue! Before you know it we will all be feasting on tomato and capsicum like it’s going out of fashion. Clearly, I’m still in a winter Read more...

A Dream Romance

Posted 6:19am Monday 19th September 2011 by Josh King

Lunchtime Theatre. (4.5/5) If I was enough of an old fart to remember the Fifties, I’m sure A Dream Romance would paint the perfect picture. Blonde, gum-chewing bimbos, leather jacket wearing, combing-toting sleazy guys and, if Grease and High School Musical got anything right, teenagers Read more...

Dues Ex: Human Revolution

Posted 6:11am Monday 19th September 2011 by Critic

Platforms: PC, xbox 360, PS3 (4.5/5) My version of Adam Jensen, protagonist of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, practised Batman's brand of pacifism. Shattered elbow joints, enough brain trauma for hours of unconsciousness, even getting squashed by an industrial freezer; it's all dandy as long as Read more...
