Go see this tonight: Applicants
Fidel Villeneuve’s post-Digital-Hardcore project is a colourful endeavor. Usually semi-naked and smeared in fake blood, the trio have expanded to a quartet to include a drummer, and play hysteric, comedic, full-throttle cartoon pop ‘n’ roll, sprinkled with non-sequitor samples, bizarre middle eights and key changes.

It's ok everyone, London isn't racist after all
Kelis says she was racially abused by a British man in Spain, not at Gatwick!
A City Hall source told the Standard: “We’d appreciate in future if people like Kelis were more careful in their use of language about London and not suggest that something has happened in the capital when it hasn’t.
That “people like Kelis” is rather magnificent, don’t you think?

When realising the true value of art means raising your prices by 6,000%
Mr Raja, who said last week he wished to sell the Banksy piece for £4,000, has now changed his mind. “I was watching a programme on Channel 4,” he said. “They were selling art, and I suddenly realised I was selling it for far too little. “Now, I may sell it if you offered me £250,000.”
There might be money in this art thing after all.
