Cultural Stimuli in LONDON
Issue 136: animalistic flavour
We are a nation of animal lovers, and good thing, since this week is chock-full of creature comforts. Hear Jonathan Balcombe at the British Library explain why our furry friends make us feel so fuzzy; marvel at all things taxidermic at the LSE; celebrate the female of the species at the Birds Eye View Film Festival and do your bit for the endangered snow leopard at Harvey Nicks — while getting royally sozzled at the same time. Despite their name, we're sure that Cobra Killer — appearing down the Elephant on Friday night — are nice girls, really, and wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone a snake. For the animal-phobic among you, there's plenty of humanoid action, with clotheshorses aplenty at Graduate Fashion Week in Battersea, zeitgeist-chronicling author Douglas Coupland at UCL and acidic comedian Bill Hicks sharpening his talons in a return-from-the-grave bid in Soho. The monkeys have left their cages, so spread it.

Trip along to the Spitz to delight in the buoyant sounds of this curiously monikered, London-based coupling (pronounced "sap"). The duo's bag of tricks — more like a large trunk, actually — overflows with found sounds and sonic oddities such as kitchen utensils, meowing cats, mechanical chickens and microphones left in the rain. Such snippets were recently mined to create the mosaic-like The Only Thing I Ever Wanted, an album brimful of addictive melodies and glitchy folk frolics. The result is that Psapp weave a live show stocked with quirky world musings and heart-prodding pop that will have you skipping all the way home. (MR)

Douglas Coupland may forever be known as the guy who coined the term "Generation X", but that shouldn't distract from the fact that he's a rock-solid writer. His riffs on dot-com life (Microserfs), consumer culture (Shampoo Planet) and religious ideals (Hey Nostradamus!) have continued to touch a nerve, showcasing the author's uncanny ability to capture the zeitgeist and release books at just the right time. His new novel, jPod, a black comedy set in a Vancouver-based computer game company, sees Coupland return to his technogeek roots. He's an engaging speaker and confident orator, and tonight's discussion should provoke much debate about globalisation, media saturation and drug culture. (KW)

Talent scouts will flock there in the hope of tracking down that most elusive of birds, the lesser-spotted Next Big Thing. More than 2,000 art graduates from over 40 colleges are showing their work this year. Highlights include Goldsmiths Design (watch out for Anna Gover's eco-conscious cardboard coat hangers and Emily Jane Atkinson's gloriously impractical Tattoo Me boots), photography from Portsmouth and graphics from Brighton.

The Birds Eye View Film Festival parts the branches to reveal an engaging assortment of cinematic treats from an international slate of emerging female filmmakers. The cinéastes selected hope to make a serious dent in this sorry statistic: women currently represent only 7% of film directors. Debunking any myths that a women's film festival has to be all rom coms and/or feminist doctrine, Birds Eye View presents an array of inspirational mind fodder that includes shorts, feature-length premieres, live comedy and film master classes.

Long-time local folk hero Jason McNiff is one of London's best-kept secrets. His sweetly finger-picked, heartfelt performances and nonchalant stage presence create an atmosphere that's reminiscent of an old-time country hootenanny (à la Dylan in Greenwich Village, circa 1962). The surprisingly young troubadour is in town after his UK-wide tour, and with only the 12 Bar as his backdrop, McNiff plays his all-acoustic, heartwrenching tales of love, loss, life and wanderlust to a crowd of faithful fans. Expect plenty of cuts from his new album, Another Man (LMJ)

One wonders what late comedian Bill Hicks would have done with the baboon in the White House's infamous "war on tourism" flub. Slight Return attempts to give us an idea, with main man Chas Early's uncanny impersonation of the increasingly deified comic presenting his view of 2006. The best thing about Hicks' comedy wasn't the venom or targets he chose but the jaw-dropping invention and dizzying analogies he brought to bear when mocking them. With its jabs at soft targets such as Prez Bush and Coldplay, Early's schtick is the next best thing to seeing Hicks himself, which is saying a lot. (AJ)

The Subterranean Garden gallery at the Crypt hosts an exhibition by seven female artists, combining painting, installation, drawing and sculpture. Exploring the sexual awakening of women in the darker corners of fairy tales, the show also has confirmed, for a series of talks, director Lucile Hadzihalilovic — one of France's most original new talents, whose 2005 film Innocence plays on fetishistic images of childhood and femininity — and Nelson Lowry, art director of films such as Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. The Crypt itself provides an intensely atmospheric backdrop for the artwork — and a wonderful respite from what will (we hope) be a hot summer's day. (AS)

The cheeky and controversial VICE magazine, a favourite among the hip, happening yoof, has a gallery based near Old Street, not far from its unofficial pub, the Old Blue Last. You would be forgiven for expecting the same tongue-in-cheek, racy material that the publication is infamous for. But the gallery overturns this expectation with Brimful of Bravado, a series of sincere, touching photographs by little-known artist David Ward Johnston — an overlooked master of black-and-white who never got his industry due before succumbing to cancer last year. His shots are edgy, unconventional and unquestionably ahead of their time. (GA)

No, it's not a movie about Jimmy Hendrix's favourite guitar sound. Wah Wah refers to the Charlie Brown teacher-style drone of the toffs who inhabit '60s Swaziland in Richard E Grant's directorial debut. Gabriel Byrne plays a troubled father who descends into violent alcoholism directed towards his 14-year-old son and new American wife (superbly portrayed by Emily Watson). Despite being billed as merely a "semi-autobiographical" tale, this telling of the Withnail & I star's formative years has an emotional authenticity way ahead of the usual "based on a true story" fare.

Though this annual festival is entering its tenth year, it still manages to pack an innovative punch. Moving graphics, feature films, shorts, animations, interactive art and good general geekery distinguish the fest, and this year's highlights include the architectural thread "Terrain", Saint Etienne's latest London film What Have You Done Today, Mervyn Day? and a 90-minute doc on ace record label Warp. There's also a retrospective of Richard Fenwick, the British director who's being called one to watch, à la Chris Cunningham and Jonathan Glazer. (FG)

Musical mayhem is the order for this night of live music from Cobra Killer, MOTOR and Noblesse Oblige, plus the iconoclastic Cherrystones on the decks. In an aural and visual frenzy, the Cobra Killer girls pump out their inimitable brand of psychedelic, carnivalesque passion at this, their only scheduled London stop. MOTOR's raw sounds straddle the punk-electronic divide, while Noblesse Oblige dish up full-on, sensual punk sleaze. Elephant and Castle might or might not be your usual nocturnal stomping ground, but Electric Storm is definitely the occasion to boldly go south. (AB)

Poland's Snow Leopard vodka launches in the UK this week, and a triple-whammy is in the offing for trying it at this exclusive Harvey Nicks tasting. For one, there's the soft yet gutsy kick of the drink itself (partially a result of the ultra-sophisticated filtration process), plus the fact that 15% of profits go to the Snow Leopard Trust, which helps protect one of Central Asia's most endangered species. Lastly, the Nicks mixologists — as well as those from numerous swanky bars around town, including the Light Bar, Oxo Tower and Sketch — are producing a range of exclusive Snow Leopard cocktails. Drink up, with conscience intact. (KW)

The opening night of Homefires seems more like a great big family gathering than a music festival. Not only are most of the performing bands interlinked somehow (as is the norm when EYOE and Fence are involved), but this evening also features a distinct running theme of musical metamorphosis, exemplified by Isobel Campbell — ex of Belle and Sebastian — and the Aliens, some of whose members were previously in the Beta Band. If that weren't enough incentive, one of the summer's best music festivals takes place in our own backyard. So rock on down, grab a chair, put your feet up: there ain't no place like Homefires. (MJ)

Only on Brick Lane could you transform the old British car-boot fair into an art extravaganza. Yet despite its eccentricities, this annual event, brimming in big-name artists, never disappoints. Gavin Turk, Bob and Roberta Smith, Sarah Lucas, the Whoopee Club, Boudicca and others are selling things, creating performances and generally going car-boot crazy on the afternoon. There are more than 45 pitches where quite a few kindly donated, fiercely tricked Vauxhall autos will be on display, plus food, music, films and automotive art.

Most festivals charge over the odds and offer artists who've been burning out on the tour circuit for months beforehand, so we're ecstatic about the existence of City Showcase. The four-day event helps propel emerging musicians (previous success stories have included Lady Sovereign and Razorlight) into the spotlight, providing stages at top venues, plus forums and workshops with some of the sharpest minds in radio broadcasting, A&R and promotion. Additional daytime concerts are held in retail locations such as Miss Sixty, Vans, Ben Sherman and the Apple Store. City Showcase does something else, too, that the big fests wouldn't even do for their own mums: waive admission. (MeM)

Few events could appeal more to people with visually gothic tastes. This lecture, examining the intersection of animals, monsters and contemporary art, is led by Steve Baker, author of The Postmodern Animal and Picturing the Beast: Animals, Identity and Representation. Expect a provocative word or two about our manipulation of the animal world — particularly through taxidermy — as Baker examines how humans relate to, and wrestle with, the animal condition of our own species. Our ways of viewing the world around us and the creatures in it say much more about us than about the critters, after all. (FG)

There is nothing quite like dancing outside in the open air after months of hibernation, and thoughts of outdoor concerts at the stunning Somerset House set our mouths watering.

Meanwhile, Elbow, the Divine Comedy and Erykah Badu — the latter offering her only UK performances of the year — represent for the veteran acts you never tire of seeing or hearing. (MeM)

Wine and film events seem to be all the rage these days, and this Everyman soirée has a distinctly femme finish. Wine boffin Alan MacDonald from Jeroboams leads the booze bit of the evening, with exotic quaffs supplemented by a selection of Spanish cheeses and chorizos. The Latin theme continues with a screening of Pedro Almodóvar's Oscar-winning All About My Mother, his fast-paced tragicomedy dominated by a transvestite prostitute, a lesbian actress and male characters who clearly have conjoined XX chromosomes themselves. Let's hear it for the girls, indeed. (KW)

It's almost too easy to compare Plan B (aka Ben Drew), a 22-year-old from Forest Gate, to the Streets; not only are both signed to the same label, they also rap about the same slice-of-life urban dramas. Yet that's where the Streets comparison ends — and the more appropriate Eminem one begins. With lyrics tackling teenage rape and murder and tinny beats accompanied by spare, almost country-style guitars, Plan B's songs quiver up your spine rather than bop you over the head. The offensive/realistic (depending on your side of the fence) content of his lyrics might prevent him from becoming a huge star, yet he's undoubtedly worth keeping an eye on — particularly live. (NC)

WE'RE GOING TO: Camden Passage, N1 |

 Islington's Upper Street may draw the retail-therapy hordes on a weekend, but those who like their shopping with a little more local colour gravitate towards Camden Passage, near Angel tube. The place fills with antiques, junk and second-hand book stalls on Wednesdays and Saturdays, though there's a fair few antique shops open throughout the week; of particular note is vintage textile/dress shop Annie. Ladies with more modern tastes should try Lollipop for fabulous shoes. Anyone feeling peckish ought to make the Sunday farmer's market a priority — stocked as it is with fresh, tasty, locally produced nibbles. But for a more sit-down affair, settle into the wood-walled gastro-haven the Elk in the Woods, and watch the world go by. It's perfect for dates or long, lazy chats with friends. (FG)

CD REVIEW: Scritti Politti, White Bread Black Beer |
|
|
Rough Trade
Released May 2006
£8.99 (Amazon)
|
Scritti Politti have been Marxist post-punk DIYers, upwardly mobile '80s semiotic post-structuralist popsters and early '90s ragamuffins (the latter complete with a pre-fame Shabba Ranks). In recent years, however, the band's output has been sporadic, and the quality has hardly been ceiling high. White Bread, Black Beer, the group's first full-length since 1999's uneven Anomie & Bonhomie, is gloriously different. There's not a weak track in the lot of 14, and the best, such as "Boom Boom Bap", match — and in some cases, better — the glistening funk-pop glory of Scritti Politti's distant past. Welshman Green Garside returns to perfect-pop form more than 20 years after the near-faultless Cupid and Psyche. And there was much rejoicing. (AJ)

DOWNLOADS: Troubleman Unlimited |
|
|
Though the label traces its roots to the early-'90s punk and hardcore scenes, Troubleman Unlimited has expanded beyond the realm of facile categorisation. The New Jersey-based brainchild of Mike Simonetti ranges far and wide stylistically, having released bands such as Black Dice, the Album Leaf, Erase Errata and the Walkmen. Musicians and record honchos alike regard Troubleman as an incredibly influential and open-minded independent label — albeit one that keeps a low profile. Its highly collectible Troubleman Solo Singles Series, a favourite among vinyl enthusiasts, consists of solo projects from members of prominent bands, released on 7-inch in small pressings. Here, check out free MP3s of some of the label's best output in recent months. (CJN/JS)
