This is an interview I did a while ago for Little White Lies. It should be coming out in their new issue, so be sure to get yourself a hard copy.
When it comes to second album syndrome, few come trickier than Richard Kelly’s follow up to the unexpectedly enormous Donnie Darko. At the age of [...]
Let’s be honest, baby rabbits are ugly. Squeaking, myopic, ugly and pointless. I also find it very hard to work up any kind of affection or sympathy for minks (all teeth and arsehole), foxes or goats (weird eyes, cloven hooves).
But, much as I wouldn’t want to play with these hairy little creatures – let alone [...]
A quick piece for Little White Lies
Nell Frizzell on when boxing films become boxing matches
As any Warhol fan who has a can of tomato soup for lunch knows, life can often follow art. So, I ask you, where the hell is David ‘The Hayemaker’ Haye going to get hold of a big old sack of [...]
This is my latest piece for director-e.com
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women’s clothing
And hang around in bars.
So sang Monty Python in 1969, and so I am singing today. For, never has a simple satirical lyric so encapsulated the love affair between fashion and function. And [...]
This is a short piece I wrote for TheLondonWord’s shopping section. Proof, yet again, that I will do anything for the offer of free cake.

Or that chastity belts would rise again, in the form of shoes. And if you’d told me ten years ago that we were all going [...]
Ebay is a window in to the soul of every pervert, miser, exhibitionist and criminal in Britain, if not the world.
From leather-clad mums to mantelpieces covered in dildos, you can find every nook and cranny of secondhand eccentricity in an eBay photo.
Of course, you expect a certain amount of filth when searching ‘PVC catsuit’ or [...]
I wrote this for Vice, so please don’t be offended.
The delivery may be flippant, but the subject matter is genuine.
Do you remember the first time you read on Facebook that a friend had died? Or you read on Myspace that someone from school had committed suicide?
Forget teleporting, hoverboards and robot cooks – discovering death on [...]
After watching and listening to three news reports about the newly-released video of Sergeant Gilat Schalit I am yet to hear anything about these ‘nineteen female Palestinian prisoners’ released in return.
We are given all sorts of information about Sergeant Gilat Schalit; his age, where he was captured, who by, how he looked, how long he [...]
