Life with a dash of zing
They rocked Zion Reggae Bar last Saturday at Rock The South (look out for the festival review on the coming issue of the Sunday Times) and now Cable 35 seem set to give us a wicked repeat on Saturday at Hard Rock Cafe in Paceville, before they bugger off back to their rock’n’roll life gigging [...]
With their beautiful orchestration, poetic lyrics and a deep focus on the technical aspect of the music, trio Stalko left an indelible mark on the music scene long before the upcoming release of their first album. Over the past couple of years, Tim Ellis (voice, keyboards), Chris Cini (violin) and Mike Stivala (voice, guitar) have, through a series [...]
Out of the box A couple of days ago I managed to watch Chronicle, starring three actors I’ve never heard of (Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell and Michael B. Jordan, if you must know). Quite a B-grade sort of movie to all intents and purposes, but nonetheless interesting for its totally different take on superpowers. Three teenagers [...]
I never thought the words “let’s send him to Panama” would inspire such hilarity. Context is everything, of course. In this case the context involved actor Colin Fitz in the role of the mad Teddy Brewster who is labouring under the impression that he’s President Theodore Roosevelt and that the basement beneath his house is [...]
As I’m writing this, I just came back from a session of exasperated eye-rolling at one of Valletta’s coffee-shops. The reason? The girl sitting at the table next to mine just couldn’t stop waxing lyrical about a particular movie that’s really raking in the cash right now: The Hunger Games. I realise that I’m totally [...]
The debate has been going on for quite a while now, pretty much ever since the initial line-up for this year’s Isle of MTV concert was announced. Once again, like last year, no Maltese artistes have (so far) been invited to take part in the mega-concert that sees practically 80% of Malta thronging to the [...]
So I have finally (about a week ago, to be precise) started reading John A Bonello’s famed Il-Logħba tal-Allat trilogy. I confess to an unreasonable frustration with trilogies. Go ahead, stone me. It’s just that whenever an author comes up with the “this is the first book of a trilogy” statement, I know perfectly well [...]
Many of my readers – particularly women – have been asking how come I have not put in my two cents’ worth about the likely introduction of mandatory quotas for women in the boardroom. The reason is a simple one: while I do have a very strong opinion about it, I didn’t want to [...]
Video chat by Stickam.com Mondays (with the exception of today) are incredibly tough on the spirit. It’s not just the dreaded sound of the alarm going off at the ungodly hour of erm, seven o’clock (which translates to the deep of the night in my book), though yes, it is that too. But in [...]
I’d been waiting for the promised screening of Sigur Ros’s Inni at the St James Cavalier cinema ever since the possibility was first mentioned online some long months ago. I’d fallen in love with this Icelandic band immediately upon hearing their first album but I never managed to catch them live. Experiencing their second docu-film, [...]
