As from today I've imported all my previous posts from <a href="http://aloadofspunk.blogspot.com/">Playing Dead</a> onto here in an attempt to clean up my most popular outlet of creative juices. Here, you will find reviews and articles about various bits of media I've filtered through my eyes, brain, guts to bring to you all nice and shiny. <div><br /></div><div>Enjoy.</div>Spunkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09592870083068609792noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652560932197130517.post-24074873543088876942009-03-06T08:48:00.000-08:002009-08-27T02:27:43.579-07:00Death March<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">A long overdue explaination;<br /><br />things have become a lot more complicated since Christmas. I've been constantly ill, stressed and generally had other things on my mind than this blog. Any of these blogs. It makes me sad to see how long ago my last posts were and how little contact I have had with my friends on <strong>Blogger</strong>. However, while life looks up perhaps I'll find myself touching up the keyboard a little more often. Please don't say I spoke too soon.<br /><br />My attention has been drawn from the likes of <strong>Luke Worrall</strong> and <strong>Agyness Deyn</strong> to the beautiful <strong>Eliza Cummings</strong> (featured in the March editions of both <strong>i-D</strong> & <strong>D&C</strong>, which are very worthy of your money). Frankly, she's much more up my street and <strong>Agyness Deyn</strong> has gone past her sell by date anyway. Her new hair has wrecked any appeal she once held.<br /><br />Music has been making steady progress. iTunes has seen a lapse in new tracks being added; <strong>Ladyhawke</strong>, <strong>Kings of Leon</strong>, <strong>The Strokes</strong>, <strong>DJ Hype/Andy C</strong>, <strong>Underoath</strong>, <strong>Norma Jean</strong>, <strong>Lady Gaga</strong> and <strong>The Rocket Summer</strong> are a few of the latest additions. Most frequently played are '</span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocwZU89NPi4"><span style="font-size:85%;">Lovegame</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">', '</span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFSYf-sgBIw"><span style="font-size:85%;">Reptilia</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">', '</span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKrBlIXzI5I"><span style="font-size:85%;">My Delirium</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">', '</span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v1du-RzKqI"><span style="font-size:85%;">Desperate Times, Desperate Measures</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">', and '</span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfX4kRSQhGM"><span style="font-size:85%;">So Much Love</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">'.<br /><br />Seeing as it was my 19th birthday last month, my film collection has expanded to include the likes of <strong>Chicago</strong>, <strong>The Rules of Attraction</strong>, <strong>Nighty Night Series 1</strong> and <strong>Burn After Reading</strong>.

Supporting actor <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Jake Miller</span> is just as convincing, although a couple of the other 'non' actors pulled off the streets are questionable, in my opinion. For example, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Lauren McKinney</span> has the same aura about her that ten year olds have when they know they are being watched and play up their act.

Earth has a history that stretches out for centuries before humanity ever graced it's land, and a future that goes far beyond human existence. Too many people view the story to be about 'man' and how he conquered the planet, when really that's the short version. Mankind is part of the world's story, not the other way around and therefore Earth deserves the respect and gentility that it just doesn't get these days.</span></div> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It's not as though there aren't enough resources to go around. On the contrary, there is plenty of fuel and building materials, food and land, yet the human population is scattered unevenly across the planet and have managed to distribute what's harvested from the earth severely disproportionately. Today is not a recycling crusade, nor a hippy controversy. I would simply like to explain why I am a vegetarian, and how that means I'm helping out the planet more than a meat eater.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">You may have encountered a vegetarian or two. Bet you that at least one of them ate fish, or chicken, or Harribo. Or maybe they were quite strict about food but didn't apply their life style to products outside of food and drink. Perhaps they were really good about everything you could think of, but gave their reasons for being so thorough in line with “animals are too cute to kill”.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Having lived on a farm, where the wethers were carted off to the abattoir every Autumn, I can happily say that I don't have a problem with animals being humanely slaughtered, after leading a happy and healthy life, and being turned into steak and sausages. My meat eating clan will testify that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Millsteads</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> lamb is rather tasty. However, I choose not to eat or drink, consume or use anything that contains or has been made using products from a dead animal.

For a start, half of the meat eaten in the UK is shipped in from countries where it's cheaper, although ultimately lower quality, and where farmers to not have to adhere to the same standards of slaughter or production. There are a ridiculous amount of animals in the world; bred to be eaten. They serve no purpose other than to add carbon dioxide and methane to our atmosphere, then be sold as almost worthless and canned, shipped off to wherever has the demand.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Why not farm fewer animals, which would then increase their worth, reduce their contribution to global warming, or whatever is going on with the weather, and ultimately, provide much better quality meat to the consumer. And a lot of the blame is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">on</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> the consumer, for being willing to buy vast quantities of shit 'meat'. It's unhealthy to eat meat every day, especially meat from malnourished, over farmed livestock that doesn't contain half the protein and iron it's meant to.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">More people should eat more plants. As plants give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide, you would think this would be a fairly simple solution to the jumbled up gases in the atmosphere, yet nothing get's done about it. Well, hi. I'm not going to buy any of your shite meat products, or anything that has animal products that might come from your animals in it, until you sort it out, mate.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYpn54P0X12BjF9cLUtj2PxMyfgg37qmicMn4RJ9nv_yPO2OzY_eHn9ju6HllfLt4e_EzACR4CWkOa0wecwrppRdA7mPvNnOMga5TEsvyYLXMGABNFBC22r7sIMaUKJtc2N6ZoXqMIqro/s1600-h/deforestation.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYpn54P0X12BjF9cLUtj2PxMyfgg37qmicMn4RJ9nv_yPO2OzY_eHn9ju6HllfLt4e_EzACR4CWkOa0wecwrppRdA7mPvNnOMga5TEsvyYLXMGABNFBC22r7sIMaUKJtc2N6ZoXqMIqro/s400/deforestation.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255132640282271570" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">3.

Marching might be great. However, actively refusing to give money to the poor bastards that think up all the stuff that meat and products from meat, or animal carcasses, goes into will actually make a difference. Environment is essential to survival and the way things are going, it looks like humanity might be checking out early if the majority of mankind refuse to acknowledge the fact that pumping fumes into the air, toxins into the rivers and ploughing through rainforests like there is no tomorrow, is going to continue wrecking the environment.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Regardless of vegetarianism, I despise fast food. It's greasy, smelly, packed with saturated fat and generally the most foul and unhealthy food on the planet. Maybe you fast food eaters are not aware that the chains you frequent, or even just 'treat' yourself to, buy beef from South America, where the cows are farmed by 'slash and burn' farmers. The deal is, that a farmer cuts down a load of rainforest and burns it, leaving a nice big patch of fertile soil, full of nutrients from the rainforest. He gets his cows to munch on the ex-forest floor for a while, but as the rainforest isn't there any more to hold the topsoil in place with tree roots, and no leaves to drop and create mulch and compost, the 'rain' forest rains wash away the soil and it becomes bad land. So the farmer cuts down the next bit of forest and so on and so on. The long and the short of it is, the rainforest disappears in the blink of an eye and the world's delicate balance of gases in the atmosphere goes haywire, resulting in mental weather, melting ice caps and eventually a loss of land from rising sea levels.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">What a fucking joke.

Animal Cruelty</span></b></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have to admit that recently the telly has been doing it's been trying to persuade consumers to think about where their food has come from. Jamie Oliver's high profile battle against battery farming chickens, C4's 'Kill it, skin it, wear it' about cruelty free fur and that one where the posh guy eats carrion or something, River Cottage maybe? All have encouraged the average consumer to consider whether there has been a particularly unfair amount of suffering behind their food and promote organic and free range meat and eggs.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But really, these programmes target the 'average' middle class consumer who is already aware and kind of doing their bit for animal welfare. The real offenders are the ones who eat at KFC and buy economy battery farmed eggs when they could use less a week and buy free range ones. By British law, an animal must be dead before being 'processed' but that doesn't mean that law is abided by, or applicable considering where most meat consumed in the UK is farmed and processed. KFC put chickens that are still alive in boiling water to burn off their feathers, cows are often not completely dead and the lives of many animals, especially on battery farms, is not comparable to anything a human would call 'life'.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It is unnecessary and inhumane to treat animals, who can feel pain just like you or I, the way that so many companies do. This </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">has</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> to stop.

On building projects there is a chance to provide something that will help generations to come, and a week or two's labour stands in stone for decades to come. E.g. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Project Gateway in Mali</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> – a team from a local church went to stay with missionaries in the West African country of Mali and helped to build a college for the local community.

Whether this means spending time with one or several people on a 24hour basis, you basically can't go volunteering and not make friends. Also, because everyone on the team is there for the same reason, it's easy to get talking and everyone is nice! Volunteers are almost always nice. E.g. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Youth council</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> – seeing as the old one had been dead and buried for a few years I decided to start it up again and had a great team of officers voted in for my year as chair.

It's exciting trying new things and meeting people that you might never have bumped into before, especially when it's an experience all in it's self. It could be being backstage at an event, rather than being a punter, or meeting the people you are providing a service for face to face; whatever the case, it makes it extra special and not something to forget quickly. E.g. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Carroty Wood</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> – my sister Abi went to a Christian camping holiday at Carroty Wood as a group leader this year.

However, the challenges faced are one of the aspects that help volunteers to grow as a person and in their understanding of people and the world during their time of serving. People with disabilities, working in blistering heat, evacuating huge venues and coping with intense hours of work can all play a key part in a volunteering experience, and provide physical and mental challenges. Overcoming these challenges and learning about new situations leaves you tired, but satisfied that you and your team managed to get through. E.g. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Urban Saints </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">– last summer I was a leader on an Urban Saints holiday in the New Forest. There was a camper with cerebral palsy. Although sometimes it was hard to know what he was saying, he was lovely to have on the holiday and taught the leaders and campers alike, more about the disability and how to communicate with a sufferer. </span></p><p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></p> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyZVc2Y5vbVsYoiIHR_0uqyDoqHKfchgexcPCmEBQDqWrDxErTKwzp4rOg247VMKjpMIKh39BK2kVqMaEdRdZLuRaorqcEgc0afQqCOdkJ7zL8rrqPlCJK9wAh-iBYNxcmxLW7DsEsDuw/s1600-h/454402292_de65cea394.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyZVc2Y5vbVsYoiIHR_0uqyDoqHKfchgexcPCmEBQDqWrDxErTKwzp4rOg247VMKjpMIKh39BK2kVqMaEdRdZLuRaorqcEgc0afQqCOdkJ7zL8rrqPlCJK9wAh-iBYNxcmxLW7DsEsDuw/s400/454402292_de65cea394.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249976985227573186" /></a><p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"></p> </li><li><p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Holiday/festival for free!</span></b></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Volunteering is not all hard work, for start stewarding or volunteering as a team leader often gets you free access to festivals, conferences and activity holidays. Although your experience of the event as a volunteer will obviously be different to the average punter, you'll find that you get the chance to see a lot of acts, talks and play loads of games and do activities that are great fun and perhaps widen your horizons, as there is less choice involved. Being part of the organising team is an excellent way to go to an event after you're too old to be a camper, or if you don't have enough cash for a ticket. E.g. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Spring Harvest</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> – Stewarding allows you to go free to Spring Harvest, but be warned; the hours are long, the work is hard and you don't get a great say in which venues you are working on and therefore what or who you see. However, with accommodation, food and travel expenses paid for, and a fun experience all round, I would definitely do it again. </span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"></p> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8JpfjDIcbFVnBZzRfzd5IaLp47SbjWUVJj3U9sLaxGtKiXRPgyKDzXG0KMXDYSZ8S0gRgv21zPeTDeSByAaHTM6LLNl0BxVGWma95lKQjj1TB-ZNbJELSjIjYqpdVTmcGC0xSP-8vYA/s1600-h/diver-brain-coral-utila.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8JpfjDIcbFVnBZzRfzd5IaLp47SbjWUVJj3U9sLaxGtKiXRPgyKDzXG0KMXDYSZ8S0gRgv21zPeTDeSByAaHTM6LLNl0BxVGWma95lKQjj1TB-ZNbJELSjIjYqpdVTmcGC0xSP-8vYA/s400/diver-brain-coral-utila.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249977484155761090" /></a></li><li><p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Get fit</span></b></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Yes, the name of this game is get your hands dirty. It's bloody hard work, running around with the same energy as pre-teens and adolescent boys and girls, stacking and unstacking chairs, being up early I.e. team meeting at 7am, going to bed late I.e. after everyone else that's not on the team is asleep, keeping everyone motivated and generally running around like a headless chicken.

You will never take stewards or leaders for granted again, oh no! Up ridiculously early for meetings before the punters get going, setting up and cleaning venues, keeping everyone safe and preparing material, there is not much that the volunteers don't do. If you've never thought about it, chances are you won't have realised nearly how much they do, so next time you see someone in a yellow tabbard, give them a big thumbs up! E.g. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Shoebox Appeal</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> – it's all very well making up your shoebox with nice things to send to children in Eastern Europe, but someone's got to take them out there. Someone I know was part of a crew that delivered the shoe boxes to orphaned children in Romania, and filmed them receiving the gifts. You just don't think about the work that is put into these projects after you've done the easy bit – donating. The resulting video was immensely touching, as small, simple presents meant the world to children who had nothing.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"></p> </li><li><p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Hear first hand how you've made a difference</span></b></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Unlike the money game, by volunteering, you meet the people you are helping and are able to hear first hand how your time has made their lives a bit nicer. Abroad, it is touching to hear and see the children they always go on about in TV, and the way they react to having visitors come and provide them with some new stuff. At home, the stories and lives of people living in poverty is just as moving, as they really appreciate someone taking the time to help them out. That's something money can't buy. E.g. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Soul in the City</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> – project where a huge team of volunteers go into deprived areas of cities and do a spot of tidying up, in communities and individual households. I was too young to help out last time it ran, but have heard first hand that it makes a big difference and the people it helps were hugely thankful. </span></p> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqsIrXzOO1agPJ3_BXysijCm1-Ks250WuyERl6N0-xue3ysG_7pIHlBwCs4dRESQedKBh5JLXHC0WFcZOvgalEAankl3UD5Ew9s7HtsQF5UxK_3AYHVTz_Skn3N0Kzs4jvkTFu6k8E-w/s1600-h/page_title_whatwilli.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqsIrXzOO1agPJ3_BXysijCm1-Ks250WuyERl6N0-xue3ysG_7pIHlBwCs4dRESQedKBh5JLXHC0WFcZOvgalEAankl3UD5Ew9s7HtsQF5UxK_3AYHVTz_Skn3N0Kzs4jvkTFu6k8E-w/s400/page_title_whatwilli.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249980366239508866" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipZCb1Ixgcg83N9lGfesJ_KtKKpKT4V0IQiyXNkUteDVs_EiAi1IqJV-6EjCltAsZXUEIwNuMugZV_3LzW7UtJ8oprnADLmSvJW1gSlSY2_fExTNMhDHWeQTafFIKAtKsbW5WceX_QGmU/s1600-h/page_title_whatis.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipZCb1Ixgcg83N9lGfesJ_KtKKpKT4V0IQiyXNkUteDVs_EiAi1IqJV-6EjCltAsZXUEIwNuMugZV_3LzW7UtJ8oprnADLmSvJW1gSlSY2_fExTNMhDHWeQTafFIKAtKsbW5WceX_QGmU/s400/page_title_whatis.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249980363394107906" /></a></li><li><p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Have fun!</span></b></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If you don't have fun while you are volunteering, you've missed the point somewhere. It's not a call for slave labour, it's a chance for people to offer a service while enjoying themselves. Team leaders more often than not are expected to ridicule themselves for the purpose of entertaining the participating children, so watch out! E.g. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Kidz Klub</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> – for a couple of years I was a team leader at an after school and Saturday club for junior school children.
