WHAT A GWAN THERE’S NO NEED TO STRAY AWAY FROM UNIVERSITY THIS MONTH - WITH SO MUCH GOING ON YOU’D BE A FOOL TO LEAVE THE COMFORT OF THE UNION...
Interested in Politics? Whether this is the case or whether you just fancy finding out a little bit more about what Local Government is doing to improve our amazing city then get yourselves down to the Union on Wednesday 6th April. Paul Blomfield will be located at stall four in the Students Union Plaza and will be waiting to be asked questions by you.
Give it a go: Bummit 2011, 11th -13th April 2011
//////////////////
If you fancy trying something new and also raise money for a good cause at the same time, then the Bummit 2011 hitch hike to Krakow in Poland is the event for you. Although this trip is currently full, those behind Bummit are creating a reserve list as they are trying to increase the numbers of people who can take part in this incredible experience. If you missed out first time around and are still really eager to take part then get in touch! You can find out more by looking at the Facebook group or by visiting the Bummit website. Do what you can and get involved with the team who manage to raise up to £70,000 for charities every year.

The Tuesday Club ft. Camo and Krooked (Hospital/Vienna)
~
Camo and Krooked are one of the most exciting drum and bass artists around at the moment and on Tuesday 5th April they are flying all the way from Vienna to cause chaos in Sheffield Students Union. The band’s Tuesday Club debut is bound to be impressive and with tickets priced reasonably at £5, this show is one not to be missed. Doors open at 11pm and as always drinks prices are fantastically cheap with Sambuca shots at only £1.55 and Jagerbombs for only £2.05. Tickets will be more expensive on the door so don’t risk missing out and get yours from the Union box office now.

Roar/Go Wild at Bar One, Wednesday 13th April and every Wednesday after
One of Sheffield Union’s most popular nights, ‘ROAR’ is now going to be accompanied every week by Go Wild at Bar One, the only place to be pre-drinking before your big night out! Go Wild is going to be the most eventful night that Bar One has to offer, with ridiculously cheap and cheerful drinks prices. Pints of Carlsberg and Fosters are less than £2 and can even be bought as pitchers that you can share with your friends. You don’t want to miss what is sure to be the craziest and most fun filled night of the week. Wednesdays are now the time to really Go Wild.

The National Student Survey takes place every year and is a very important tool for prospective students when they are choosing which Universities to apply for. The statistics from this survey are used to determine the overall satisfaction of students after they leave their University. Open to all final year students, the survey gives you a chance to express your feelings about your University. What do you like? What could be made better? The survey is open until the end of April so it is not too late to give your opinion. By giving up a few minutes of your time you could help change the student experience at Hallam University in the future and make it even better and more beneficial. As well as this, the more responses the University gets, the more useful the information will be. Make a difference now.
For all your favourite chart anthems and the cheapest drinks available on a Saturday night, get down to Sheff One at The Hubs, Hallam Students Union. With two rooms filled with all the best music, pop tunes in the main room and dubstep and R’n’B in the second room, there is something to suit most people. The night begins at 11pm and ends at 3am with tickets at a very reasonable £3 if bought in advance. In the case of an impromptu night out then tickets are still only £4 on the door, not a lot to pay when you are saving loads on drinks. You can’t get much cheaper than Sheff One for drinks, spirits and mixer, Carlsberg bottles and shots all only £1.50. Sheff One is proof that you can have a great night out on a Saturday even when living on a student budget.

It is now possible for Students to put their names forward for the 2011 Student Media Awards. The Guardian have been acknowledging the importance of student journalism for some time now and it is your chance to put your name forward. It is a great opportunity for students and you can nominate yourself for an award in one of the nine different categories. Application forms can be found on The Guardian website and the deadline for all applications is the 1st June, so there is still plenty of time. So if you’ve been involved in Shumedia and feel that you have excelled in your chosen area this year, then don’t hesitate to put yourself forward.

Method
Break up the chocolate and melt in the microwave (be careful not to overmelt as chocolate has a tendancy to go weirdly burnt in the microwave) OR in a glass bowl over boiling water on the hob. Add a handful of Cornflakes/ Shreddies/ Shredded Wheat (broken up) into the chocolate, mixing it in until all the cereal is covered in chocolate. Keep adding the cereal until you run out of chocolate to cover it. Prepare a six bun tin with paper bun cases in each hole. Spoon in the mixture evenly into each case. Place the Mini Eggs on top of each bun, pressing them down to secure them in their nest! Once cooled, place the nests in the fridge for about six hours, until the chocolate has hardened.

Sample a taste of the Middle East with Belly Dancing Nights Rawal Lounge plays host to live music with their Bhangra Nights Birthdays, Stag and Hen Parties, Corporate Events and Private Parties welcome Next ladies night Wednesday 13th April, 5pm-9.30pm Marcus Misaw UK Shisha Tour 2011 coming on May 8th
110 John Street, Sheffield, S2 4QU
Tel: 0114 270 0162 www.rawallounge.com Facebook – Rawallounge Sheffield
Heady aromas from the East catch a zephyr to Sheffield this spring as Rawal Lounge becomes the first legal Shisha bar to open their doors to the city. Emanating from the newly opened, three-story establishment are scents of Code 69, Blue Bliss, Citrus Mist and Red Acid among many others. Secret recipes; just express a desire for a particular taste and the experienced and attentive staff will spark premium tobacco sourced from America and Asia for your smoking pleasure. Home of the ‘Pineapple Head’, staff at Rawal have created a unique method of inducing a smoother taste by placing the tobacco in a hollowed out pineapple, keeping the tobacco cooler thus making it last long into the night. ‘Pineapple Heads’ are £13.50 and can last over three hours. A mix of two Shisha flavours are £10 and one just £8.50 (Students receive 10 per cent off with NUS). They make for a sociable and much healthier smoke than a packet of Camels as the Shisha is free of tar - all you get is the sweet, heady rush of nicotine. Before you settle down on the heated roof terrace you can indulge in some home cooking - East meets West style. Traditional Pakistani spices accompany more Western dishes in Roti, Curry, Panninis and many more. As well as Shisha and flavourful foods, Rawal Lounge specialises in Milkshakes, Desserts (a free slice with sparklers for birthday girls or boys), soft drinks, teas and coffees. Not holding a license for alcohol, the staff here don’t mind if you bring your own. It’s all about ‘’feeling at home’’, say the staff at Rawal Lounge, happy to go beyond their ‘closing time’ to accommodate those wanting to smoke until the very early hours and adjusting the tunes to taste. The three floor venue plays a mix of Bhangra, Arabic, Pop and R&B and is already home to various high profile nights. Expert Belly Dancer Sophie Mei of Britain’s Got Talent fame struts her stuff every other Saturday night and Vibe’s former resident DJ Mala P mixes tunes to accompany the inviting, social atmosphere well into the night. Rawal Lounge is a much-desired fusion of great food, exquisite Sheehsa flavours and a chilled ambience that makes it the ultimate place in Sheffield to unwind.

Takeaway review - Dominos With a doormat overloaded with takeaway menus, choosing where to order from can be a terrifying prospect. Fear no more – here at The Student we’re no stranger to food by phone so we’ve taken it upon ourselves to review what the city’s fooderies have to offer – all in the name of research, of course.
What? Domino’s Pizza Where? 167-169 West Street, S1 4EW/ 886 Ecclesall Road, S11 8TP What did we eat? Garlic Mozzarella Sticks, Stripper Combo, Medium Texas BBQ Pizza, Domino’s Cookies How much? £27.46 for 2 people – pricey! Domino’s – a necessity of student life. The extras on the menu never fail to tempt – a sole pizza is never enough! The new Garlic Mozzarella Sticks caught my eye; remember McDonald’s version? Yep? Well these are pretty much the same, heart attack in a stick probably but, cheese is good. The Stripper Combo consists of both Chicken Strippers (goujons of chicken in breadcrumbs) and Potato Wedges; as usual, neither failed to disappoint with the tender chicken tasting fabulous dipped in a pot of BBQ sauce, and the wedges seasoned and baked to tongue-tasty perfection with just the right amount of burnt bits and potato skin. And so to the main event: the pizza. A lover of BBQ sauce, the Texas BBQ Pizza fits the bill for me being smothered with the stuff, topped with smoky bacon, roast chicken, onions and green peppers. Whilst other takeaways use chewy, dry, ready-made bases, Domino’s mix their own dough and you can really tell – no leaving of the crusts here. Cheesy and saucy, with crunchy peppers and lots of chicken.
SNEAK PEEK //////////////////////////////////////
Whilst dessert might not be on many takeaway menus, Domino’s is the exception, with a range of puddings and Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. I’m a sucker for a cookie and Domino’s are, in a word, amazing. Warm, gooey, soft yet slightly crunchy around the edges; dripping with grease but really, really worth it. Truly lip slathering.

City Life Promotions presents: A Chic Lifestyle Experience Fancy a bit of a pamper? Then totter on down to the Hilton hotel on the 1st May.
Imagine having your hair styled into a beautiful bouffant, nails manicured to glossy perfection, the stresses and strains of student life being soothed away with a relaxing massage, bronzing up your sunkissed limbs, nibbling on fabulously decorated cakes and treats, toning up your bod with the help of fitness gurus, snaffling up a cheeky sausage from the BBQ, browsing through stunning fashions and tasting mouthwatering gourmet delights - all whilst sipping on a glass of bubbly. On top of all this, the event hosts a fashion show by designers at Each To Their Own boutique, a charity auction with all proceeds going to the victims of the Japanese earthquake and a raffle in aid of Hallam FM’s Cash For Kids Charity, all hosted by Hallam FM’s Ollie Hayes. With so many treats you’d be a fool to miss out – tickets are limited so grab yours now. Call 07535 038 175 and check out ‘CityLife Promotions’ on Facebook.
search “city life promotions” on facebook
The £15 all inclusive ticket is your pass to luxury, with an Aladdin’s Cave of treats just waiting to be taken advantage of. With Sheffield’s finest hair stylists, beauticians, bakers, restaurateurs, sleep consultants, fitness pros, masseuses and more all under one roof this is an indulgence not to be missed.
Towering piles of noodles, spicy Szechuan sauce, tongue tingling crispy pork – feeling peckish?
A firm favourite with both the Chinese community (a sure sign it’s a good one) and the Oriental nibble lovers of Sheffield, the lip-drippingly tasty food of Noodle Inn promises Mandar-Inn will be no disappointment, and customers will certainly never go hungry - their portions are huge! Try a taste of their famous ‘Big Bowl Soup’, with Roasties or Shredded Duck and Preserved Veg, or maybe Dumpling soup. As the name suggests, noodles are big at Noodle Inn – the ‘Big Plate Noodles’ come with a choice of Crispy, Vermicelli, Udon or Ramen noodles, with intriguing flavours like Lobster with Ginger and Spring Onion and Moonlight Hofun. Alternatively go for ‘Big Plate Rice’, with maybe Cod Fish with Sweetcorn, Fried Spare Rib in Cantonese Sauce or even Foo-Kin Fried Rice. As well as all these temptations the menu also offers a huge range of traditional Cantonese, Szechuan, seafood, beef, chicken, tofu and vegetable dishes. Opening soon, keep a beady eye out for Mandar-Inn – try and resist the tantalising aromas wafting down London Road if you dare!
Yum Yum
SNEAK PEAK //////////////////////////////////////
Fans of the Chinese cuisine will already be familiar with the delicious Noodle Inn on London Road and you’re ‘inn’ for another treat: David Chan, the master behind the established eatery, is opening a brand new restaurant next door – Mandar-Inn.

YOU DESERVE A BETTER BEACH BODY.
s y a W n e T Top t a F n r u B To 1. Cut down the calories – Guys should be looking to eat around 2500 calories per day and ladies 2000. If you find yourself feeling peckish stick to high fibre foods which make you feel fuller for longer. 2. Drink more cuppas – Drinking black or green tea can help to burn fat – the caffeine causes metabolic changes. 3. Chomp on breakfast – You’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Skipping breakfast leads to you feeling hungrier and more likely to snack or eat a larger evening meal, and breakfast helps to speed up your metabolism after sleep ready for the day ahead. 4. Take the stairs – Stop being lazy and burn a few extra calories on your way to your lectures. 5. Miss the bus – Walk straight past the bus stop and keep on walking! You don’t really need to take the bus into town, you lazy little student, you. 6. Pump some iron – Weight training increases your metabolic resting rate and a pound of muscle burns up to nine times the calories of a pound of fat, so get those guns out. 7. Get glugging – According to a German study, drinking an extra 1.5 litres of water a day can burn 17,400 calories a year, with your metabolic rate increasing by 30 per cent. 8. Go easy on the alcohol – Drinking alcohol can slow metabolism and is loaded with calories – one WKD Blue has 228 calories, a pint of Fosters has 193 and a glass of white wine has around 130. 9. Eat spinach – Not just for Popeye, spinach is high in magnesium which motors up your metabolism. An alternative is peanut butter!

AN INSIGHT INTO THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE THICK OF THE TOPICS YOU LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT...

Shaun Martin
He’s Had a Beer Normally I wake up on a Saturday feeling as rough as a badger’s ass, but I’d not been out for a few weeks. So I thought to myself, “Herve at Plug is going to be a fiend of an event I cannot miss”.
But from a dating point of view, Facebook has become an indispensable and unavoidable factor to all relationships. The ‘relationship status’ is the gospel truth as to one’s current romantic position; relationships only become official once Facebook has been updated. The shock of seeing, “… is now listed as single”, causes us to frantically text our friend to relay this disturbing piece of gossip; engagements are announced; the availability of a prospective love interest is met with disappointment or intrigue.
Meeting my cousin in Varsity, we got some munch down us. Dog’s Dinner only £5.95; chips, beans, sausage and bacon what a beast! After two pints and a pitcher of Woo Woo at £6.99 (cheaper if you have a Vcard), we were definitely starting to get tipsy. Supping up and moving on to Wetherspoons (which for those who don’t know is a hidden gem on the way to Plug for a cheap drink), we weren’t after a quiet tipple. For me, its all about the double Sailor Jerry’s and Coke, plus a Double Vodka Monster - I think from my recollection it was around £8 for these two.
The ‘stalkability’ of Facebook certainly has its downfalls, however. Insecure, jealous girlfriends keep an eagle eye on their boyfriend’s profile 24 hours a day – I myself have fallen victim to an irate message demanding why I have added their boyfriend (for the record, he added me and I’ve never even spoken to him. Chill.) The realisation that one’s password has been uncovered fills many naughty boys with panic – those private messages can be undeniably incriminating. Ouch. My inbox is filled with retarded randoms trying their luck – like I’m going to reply to a message consisting of, “Hi sexy, how are you?”, as well as messages from exes wanting to meet up – I broke up with you FIVE YEARS ago – GET OVER IT. Facebook chat is an annoying means of communication; as a rule, I’m permanently offline, for the simple reason that if I do happen to log on I become inundated with cheesy blokes trying their luck. And no, I’m not going to give you my number just because you type sweet nothings about how fit I look in my pictures and how much I’ve changed since school. (Compliment or not…?) Piss off back to the sad little cave you crawled out of.
We’d already had a few by this point and were ready to venture to Plug, thus we reached the bottom of our glasses and decided it was time to move on. LJ Freeman sorted guestlist out for us (cheers Lee, if you’re reading this) and the second we walked through those doors, the bass filled our head with noises that can only be described as: “DIRTY DIRTY DUB FLEXING TREMBLING SOUNDS”. From this we knew our night was just about to begin. Pretty lucky to arrive just after Herve started his set, Cheeky Vimtos it was, which sorted me out all night. £2 for a drink as good as those must be a crime - I was getting well and truly trouted. Check out the Pound Run between 1am and 2am; certain shots are only £1 – awesome. After Plug had died down we headed to Lion’s Lair then the rest, as they say, is history. I woke up Sunday feeling as rough as I should have done the Saturday morning… great.

Kate Hobson Imagine a world without Facebook. What a desperate, lonely existence that would be – no half-hourly status updates from the chav queen back home, no means of discovering the satisfying fact that your first kiss is now going bald and engaged to a 34 year old (true story), no embarrassing photos from that wish-you-could-forget messy night.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Last year Chanel ignited a nail polish infatuation. Their spring pastels flew off the shelves and straight on to the adorned nails of all fashion forward fillies, from Alexa Chung to Rihanna. By autumn, Chanel’s sludgy, mud cake tones were an immediate sell out. Chanel may have sparked a nail varnish obsession but the trend has detonated and now is the time to experiment. Bold, prime, gutsy colours are over shining the pastel hues of last spring. They look best on short, squared nails, refreshing the trend from 80s to modern day. Make an impact with an audacious blue or plucky green, avoiding shimmers and mattes; gloss gives these blunt colours class. The 70s’ flashback currently gripping the high street can be felt all the way to our fingertips with tie-dye and marble affects providing a stunning, fresh option for garnishing your nails. To get the look, a water marbling technique is best. For guidance check out some online tutorials but bear in mind you’ll need to set aside a good few hours if you want to perfect the skill, but the result is extraordinary. Barry M’s cracking nail varnish, in black matte, is a quick, effortless alternative. Paint your nails with two or three bright colours first and apply the cracking nail varnish on top. This shatters, allowing the colours underneath to peek through, giving a biker chic edge to a psychedelic pattern. Whether you’re a strictly special occasion only gal or you change your nail colour as often as your socks, put your skills to the test and be bold this spring.
Hannah Pearson It’s no secret that when the sun comes out and the skirts get shorter us girls reach for the fake tan. Even pale redheads like myself can’t resist the allure of Dove Summer Glow when forced to show our pasty legs. But is there a point when it all just gets a bit too much? You know the girls I’m talking about: the patchy ankles, streaky legs, orange palms and toxic smell that follow when you get a bit carried away with the Fake Bake. The first sunny days of spring bring with them overexcited girls in sunglasses and shorts (which can only really be described as hot pants) shivering in the park as they try to top up their ‘tan’. May I remind everyone that it’s still March?! Okay - so you may sense the slightest hint of jealously. I won’t lie; I wish I tanned naturally. I can spend hours in the sun but all I can expect is a smattering of freckles at best. But I’m not complaining about the lucky girls who go a natural shade of brown in the sunshine, I’m talking about the girls who look more tangerine dream than bronzed goddess. No one really expects you to look like you’ve just returned from a holiday in Barbados when, realistically, we’d be happy if we could make it through one British summer barbeque without it raining. I’m not saying that there shouldn’t be a market for fake tan or that we shouldn’t indulge in it – but everything in moderation, girls! Tanning lotions, tinted moisturisers and spray tans are fine, just so long as the colour works with your complexion; there’s a fine line between being bronzed and being orange - just know your limits of what works for you.

STEPPING BACK IN TIME
Okay, so us young ones weren’t around the first time this trend hit but fortunately for us we can get inspiration from many style icons of that decade. Think Bianca Jagger, Jerry Hall, Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, Lauren Hutton, the list is endless. Throw a bit of Studio 54 drama in there for extra measure and you’re ready to go. This is not a trend that stops at clothes; branch out to hair, make-up and accessories to get that overall 70s feel. Maxi dresses and skirts (split to the thigh if you’re feeling frisky), floppy wide brimmed hats, paisley prints, pretty blouses, flares, wedges - so many possibilities! The high street has grabbed this trend by the horns so get in there fast to secure your place at the top of the best dressed list this season; failing that, raid your mum’s wardrobe - she’s bound to have some treasures hidden in there!

BOLD COLOURS
This is not one for the faint hearted. Colours are back with a bang this season and they mean business. If you’re not confident with a bit of colour, start off small – add a bright pair of shoes to your outfit or a loud bag. Once you’ve mastered the trend you can move on to bigger and brighter things! For inspiration look to Jill Sander and Christopher Kane but be prepared, they’re not afraid of a bit of neon. Don’t be scared to mix colour; when you mis-match something it adds personality and everyone loves a bit of individuality shining through an outfit.

You can go minimalistic or loud this season, it’s up to you… but bold prints are so much more fun! Think stripes, bright colours, novelty prints, exaggerated hem lines and lengths – the key is to wear everything to EXCESS! Mix and match as much as you want – designers are loving a bit of colour this season so take inspiration from Marc Jacobs and Gucci for colours that are bang on trend this spring. And if you’re feeling fruity look to Stella McCartney and Prada’s catwalk shows for their larger than life fruit prints. This trend is all about novelty jewellery and loud patterns. Remember fashion is all about having fun!

Bulletstorm PS3, Xbox 360, PC
Although Bulletstorm is developed by a separate team, it has all the feel of Epic’s last IP: Gears of War. People Can Fly’s game picks up where GoW2 left off, with gruff, cartoon-like characters, oversized weapons, excessive violence and high-octane set-pieces (it is even curiously lacking a jump button and has the Point of Interest feature). Bulletstorm offers players set-piece after set-piece with very little breathing time. It’s refreshing to play a game that isn’t slowed by dull conversation scenes - even the FMV sections between levels primarily consist of in-your-face action. Anyone that’s played Just Cause 2 will realise the hilarity of using weapons to set up unique ways of dispensing with enemies, but sadly, the possibilities here aren’t as numerous. The scripted kills put in place go some way towards making up for this, however - the team have purposely placed spiked walls, electrical currents and even cacti to brutally fling enemies onto. Aside from the chuckle-factor of setting up increasingly preposterous kills, there is a genuine reason to do so, as the developers have wisely added a scoring mechanic to reward experimentation. Bulletstorm is a game that is unashamed of shedding the often all-too irrelevant story and focusing on what action games should be all about: the action. We haven’t seen quite such a brash and brainless game since 96’s Duke Nukem 3D, but it’s all the more enjoyable for it.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 PS3, Xbox 360 Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is developer Capcom’s latest fighting game, headlined by Marvel Comics’ finest creations as well as the company’s own famous faces. A mash-up motivated by the resurgence of interest in Street Fighter and the success of MvC 2’s toe-in-the-water budget re-release. We are now blessed with a full-blown and full-priced sequel, the production of which has obviously had skip-loads of cash poured into it. The anarchic, unashamedly imbalanced mechanics allow - and encourage - players to “do whatever they feel like”. You don’t have to watch the episode of The Simpsons where a self-help peddling character promotes the self-same message to picture how wrong it can all go; but, what the game lacks in tidy balance and considered poise, it makes up for in chaotic, unreserved fun. By virtue of its depth and complexities, one could sink hours into mastering the game, but even if you were so inclined, shortcuts can be taken to get the same end result. And so, a word of warning: stick to playing with friends. It might not be especially hip then, but there’s no doubting it’s a cleverly designed and implemented game and above-all remains highly enjoyable.

Its been out for nearly a year now but it’s still the best we’ve seen on the market at this price, Obviously its no Traktor Control S4, but whos got 800 quid lying around? This sturdy little beauty is only retailing at £179.99 on www. HTFR.com but if you look further afield on Ebay you can find it for as low as £140. Be careful not to purchase the Mixtrack origonal USB controller as you have to buy a sound card for that one; this little gem comes with one already built in, BONUS! The browser knob in the centre of the console allows you to browse through your Itunes to cue in tracks. Its perfect for those of you who have always wanted to learn but have never had the funds and it is Mac and PC compatible. I personally have tried it out on a Mac and the response time is second to none; it’s responsive with brilliant jog wheels which don’t wobble and it also comes with a scratch function. Get hooked up and get switched on.
Everyone needs a protocol droid in their pocket. Mimoco makes it possible with its lineup of Star Wars characters to choose from but for us here at The Student we chose the C3PO model as our favourite. It boasts a pretty impressive 8GB memory, so not only is it fashionable it will keep all your uni work backed up.
After a lot of scrutiny from its buyers, Apple’s new iPad 2 has come out with flying colours. The whole bunch of improvements has made iPad 2 look very impressive. The number one feature that comes to mind is its size; a whole lot thinner than the first generation iPad which gives a sense of comfort whilst holding it, as well as sitting on a flat surface. The trimmed-down weight definitely makes a big difference, it is thinner than the iPhone 4 and 15 percent lighter. The new iPad has a VGA front facing camera and one at the back. The battery life remains the same at ten hours. It has a 9.7 display, so no big changes there. The new processor is called the Apple A5 and is based on ARM’s Cortex-A9 design. The graphics are stunning. It is nine times better than the current iPad and the speed is faster. It’s definitely one of the gadgets everyone wants but can’t afford, so get saving! Or when the next student loan comes just buy one. I promise you will be the envy of all your friends.

Who’s that in a furry bunny costume? Is it you, Aquarius? I think so… always fullit of surprises, you. Perhaps just a little bit over dressed for a first date, but at least gives you two something to talk about, I suppose.
Lost out at Valentine’s, Pisces? Think a loving gift of chocolate egg will do the trick? Yes, we all love a good egg, but maybe finding fourteen assorted offerings on your doorstep in the morning is possibly a tad scary.
Never one to rely on others, you’ll be mixing up a whole host of Easter themed, sugary delights. Ah, it all seemed like such a good idea at the start, didn’t it, Aries? But the cakey passion within you soon diminishes once you see the floury mess you’ve made. Never mind, you can always wash up tomorrow.
Self indulgence is a risky business, Taurus; it’s all well and good to treat yourself now and again but chocolate overloads very often result in vomit. I need say no more.
How about an Easter party? Pin the tail on the rabbit, Pass the egg, egg hide and Sseek… what fun could be had. Just a thought, Gemini.

Limitless (15)
In cinemas now, student discount available, valid NUS card must be shown for telephone bookings at Cineworld Centertainment, call 0871 200 2000.
This fast paced enjoyable thriller is headed by Bradley Cooper, taking the lead with his believable and captivating performance as Eddie Morran, a New York based writer whose creative streak is blocked. The film follows Morran as he searches for something to fill that void which is crammed to the rafters by a ‘wonder pill’ NZT which allows him to utilise 100 per cent of his brain, instead of the usual quarter we are typically able to access. This new door opening allows him to realise there are no bounds to what he is able to accomplish. Along the way there are unfortunately some dark side effects (surprise) and life threatening situations. The script is full to bursting with interesting dialogue and unsuspected turns which constantly keep the viewer on the edge of their seat and gagging for the next scene. This is highlighted beautifully in the scene when the pill first takes effect and Cooper successfully plays his best performance to date.
FLICKS //////////////////////////////////////
Limitless is thoroughly worth seeing and an absolute recommendation. This stylishly directed movie reminds us of the talent to be found in Neil Burger’s work. Definite must-see.

Country Strong (12a)
In cinemas now, student discount available, valid NUS card must be shown for telephone bookings at Cineworld Centertainment, call 0871 200 2000. Now I can’t say that country singers are my favourite choice of artists, however I was intrigued to see how Gwyneth Paltrow would portray her character in ‘Country Strong’. Sadly, her performance was the highlight of the entire film. In an attempt to tug on your emotional heart strings through this ‘drama’, the notes are sadly off key and some just miss entirely. When tragedy hits country superstar Kelly Canter (Paltrow) mid-tour, she hits the bottle to find solace for her feelings. Battling alcoholism, her husband/ manager James (actual real life country star Tim McGraw) takes her out of rehab a month early, and the bid to rebuild her fame begins. Motives are questioned as hubby hires a support act who just happens to be an ex beauty queen and she convinces hubby to allow her ‘male sponsor’ to join the tour. A sketchy script which isn’t too sure what it wants to be, what direction it wants to take or generally what a script should be drags the film lower than the last straight-to-DVD release. The movie pulls on every cliché imaginable which somehow means the resulting screen mess is unintentionally laughable. I would not suggest you run to the movie theatre to snap up the last remaining seats to this one, there are far better ones you could spend your time and hard earned pennies on.
The Eagle (12a)
in cinemas now
Following the (albeit not so recent) success of Gladiator and 300, there was bound to be another attempt at this kind of Roman drama. The Eagle is the newest version. As much as I love Channing Tatum (yes I know I am being a complete girl but why not when the opportunity presents itself), I struggled to adjust to having been so used to seeing him street dancing in Step Up to recognising him as a Roman Centurion. Tatum’s likeable portrayal of Marcus Aquila is complemented by Jamie Bell as Esca (his slave) but, unfortunately, as much as I tried to be wowed by this film, it simply didn’t take flight in the way it should have. Not a bad film by a long shot but not the blockbuster I hoped it would be. A typical, trying-togain-respect-of-his-troop tale, along with some hints of Brokeback Mountain style scenes, the film shies away from categorically finishing the lines it so positively starts.

MOVIES //////////////////////////////////////
The film tries to focus more on the emotional scenes but seems afraid to do so in a commitment type of way but sadly this seems to replace where the action and battle scenes should be. The cinematography is beautiful, courtesy of Anthony Dod Mantle, who utilises his stunning Scottish and Hungarian landscapes to the their maximum potential. Not a disaster but I would wait until it comes onto DVD to ogle Tatum.

Jessie J
Who Are You? Jessica Cornish in Redbridge stormed onto the scene with ‘Do It Like A Dude’, which I have to admit was not an instant favourite to add to my collection, however a few plays later it began to grow on me. ‘Price Tag’ was next to appear in the charts and whilst catchy it was only that, not a wow track that jumps up and smacks you across the face. A small impulse buy of the album later and I have fallen utterly head over heels for the girl. With a brilliant range of songs which highlight her extensive vocal range and massive talent, she inundates the listener with a compilation of entirely different tracks. Each one seems to have some kind of meaning, whether obvious or more subtle, with a vast selection of different styles which somehow, all suit her voice fantastically. The reviews of this album are extremely mixed to say the least; if you enjoy a girl with attitude or some fun tracks why not try it? My top tracks include “Mama Knows Best” and “Big White Room”. An interesting artist who is absolutely worth a listen.
This band still deserves close inspection. The fifth studio album, this career move definitely has that ‘sit up and take notice’ quality. When an artist breaks onto the scene with a style of music, the temptation is to mass produce more of the same. It takes real gusto to move into a different style and to take that chance which potentially puts you straight back to the emerging artist category or, worst still, into the ‘has been’ stage which so many artists sadly end in. Elbow attempted this with their ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ to overwhelming criticism; thankfully they have learned from their mistakes. Using their previous work as a starting point, they evolve the familiar to expand their catalogue into something fresh. Opening track, ‘The Birds’, makes the price worthwhile on its own. Eight minutes of layered, varying and intense listener intrigue toss and turn between styles, vocals and instrumentals and is complemented positively by the rest of the album. Each song is layered with interesting and unusual collaborations between musical styles and instruments, and just about every song has something new to offer the listener. An obvious choice, but top track has to be ‘The Birds’. Available at www.hmv.com Price : £8.99 free UK delivery

James Blake Tourist History
The creepy album cover seems to miss the ‘arty’ imagery style it might have been intended to encompass but thankfully the album isn’t as eerie as the cover suggests. Sadly it isn’t entirely combated with an amazing collection of tracks but this slightly uncomfortable album still manages the odd highlight. The thought from some is that this album is exactly what pop music is craving at the moment but I have to disagree, the record somehow manages to shoot just below the target. This artist somehow ended up with some extortionately high commercial expectations without any evidence to prove this was his style. Critics seemed to become overly excited by the first couple of singles released, which has resulted in some disappointment to follow when their fantasy style expectations seemed to fall flat. Some bluesy and gospels tones indicate Blake has some serious potential, if only he wasn’t being pushed and pulled into a mould which he was simply not cut from. Allow him to take his own direction and explore his creative freedom and I suspect we would be wowed by an innovative musical style. I don’t really have a top track of this album with nothing particularly jumping out but there are by no means any complete disasters.

Feat: Alys Be Falling (radio edit) Finally released March 2011, for all those who haven’t already purchased the complete banger you need to put this mag down, walk over to your PC and sort it out on iTunes. For this it’s only 99p this beautiful harmony mixed with the subtle bass; should (fingers crossed) make its way up the commercial chart in no time!!! 99p www.itunes.co.uk
who was your inspiration to start dj’ing?
Probably a local DJ in Barnsley called Jezta. He used to play stuff like Todd Terry which I’d then try and get on CDs but couldn’t as they were imported records. So I started collecting vinyl just to get the tracks which progressed to buying some decks
when and where was your favourite DJ set?
Hard one, There has been quite a few. It’s between my third time at The Fez Club for The Pin Up Club or Tribal Gathering festival where the next DJ asked me to come back on
what is your favourite crowd pleasing floorfiller?
This is the hardest questions probably a classic to end the night with like Shades Of Rhythm - Sound Of Eden
what’s your favourite style of music?
Disco and the more soulful house... not Instant Replay or the Bee Gees disco but more Prelude, Salsoul & West End Records stuff .
where did you wake up this morning? My own bed. No hang over. Not very rock and roll
www.myspace.com/DISTANCEDUB
if you could take any item with you on a desert island what would it be?
If I had a power point then my laptop as I could at least start a few tracks in logic otherwise maybe juggling balls.... I really can’t juggle so I could set myself that challenge
whats your ultimate location/dream to play? Since it’s a dream I’d say The Loft or Paradise Garage
if you could mate with any human being who would it be?
I don’t really lust after any celebrities so I probably should tell her before I broadcast it, she might not find it attractive reading it first
when are you next playing?
You can catch me next at my weekly residency at Soyo on Saturdays. Also check out Myspace for stuff up and down the country and internationally
