Just when we thought street art was dead the buildings of the city are once again adorned with work worthy of getting on a tube just to go and have a look at. There's plenty of it too courtesy of artists involved in the Lazarides 'Grifters' exhibition which opens in Rathbone Place later this week. Lazinc.com and Wallkandy 's Flickr stream are the places to watch to find out locations and see the best...

How sweet -- it only took a load of critical media reports and a public protest to convince the Salvation Army that screwing over children during the holiday's might be bad for business: On Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle reported that a few charities in Houston — including the Salvation Army — were checking the immigration status of needy families before giving out gifts in its annual...

December is starting off with a bang. There is a lot going on. More on Climategate by Clice Crook at the Atlantic The closed-mindedness of these supposed men of science, their willingness to go to any lengths to defend a preconceived message, is surprising even to me. The stink of intellectual corruption is overpowering. And, as Christopher Booker argues, this scandal is not at the margins of the politicised...

Here's a stunner. NBC is the first outlet to have these grifters on to tell "their side" of the story. Must be a coincidence that NBC owns Bravo, the cable outlet filming them for a reality show.The fame-hungry couple who infamously got inside an exclusive White House party without an invite said this morning that they "did not party crash the White House," and called outrage over...

We now seem to have the first really tangential details on what was behind the White House crasher story. The Post has it -- and the gist is that, for reasons that are not at all clear, the Salahis had...

Why leftists and the press will fight mightily to ignore the news - the facts - about Climategate, The Anchoress: In a nutshell, Climategate is a destroyer of world-views. As someone who has always maintained that the AGW [anthropogenic global warming] hype was a matter of politicians and grifters seizing an opportunity to use unsettled science as a means of getting filthy rich while imposing harsh...

Getting together with friends is important: you can catch up, re-acquaint over times gone by, and create new memories. A good split-disc functions in much the same way. Two bands come together to share a common space and, hopefully, create some pretty memorable sounds. The Sanderlings and The Dashburns have now entered into this familiar territory [...]

Haven't worked up the courage to look at the news. Judging from my social media, it's all about the WH gatecrashers, Tiger Woods and Sarah Palin. Don't want to read that stuff, much less talk about it. So far, the only real news I've seen is about this new Senate report on Afghanistan. Infuriating and depressing. "Removing the al-Qaeda leader from the battlefield eight years ago would not have...

Before he slammed onto the scene with The Last Seduction , director John Dahl gave us the surreal little thriller Red Rock West . Both are late entries in the 80's/90's neo-noir wave, but while Seduction has a lot going for it -- Linda Fiorentio's legs and a surprising villain turn by Bill Pullman -- I'd argue Red Rock is the more interesting film. Seduction , after all, plays pretty straight by noir...
