UNCOOL: toilet intimidation

July 5, 2011

1

words: Kari Rosenberg Recently, a close friend – we’ll call her ‘Bridget’ – was traumatised while taking a toilet break at work. No need for euphemism here, she was taking a shit. Or at least trying to. Having sussed out an isolated loo for her daily turding needs weeks ago, she wasn’t accustomed to having […]

UNCOOL: dead straight hair

June 17, 2011

All the time, people tell me I’m lucky because my hair is ‘sooooooooo straight!’ I understand where they’re coming from. I leave the house at super quick speed each morning and when I return my hair looks almost identical to how it did when I left. With a crop, there’s very little that can go […]

COOL: Top 5 lad facts about JAPAN

Words: Robert Edgington  [NB: EIC is aware that most women will appreciate these facts too] 1) NOMIHODAI /TABEHODAI: translation: All you can eat / drink. A well hidden fact in Japanese Izakaya is that they have all you can eat and drink prices. The fact is well hidden from foreigners because the price is gauged […]

COOL: MERSEA ISLAND

Let’s remind ourselves why we’re so obsessed with seafood in the first place… In London, god love her, seafood is not at our fingertips. It’s either served in expensive fish restaurants where the lobster costs more than your i-phone, or in overpriced italian pasta dishes like Tagliatelle a la marinara and Vongole. The ‘fish’ in these […]

UNCOOL: kitchen intimidation

Words: Katie Burnetts Growing up, it was tough having a dad who couldn’t cook anything more complex than burnt cheese on toast. Which is why when I hooked up with my kitchen beast of a boyfriend [he buys locally sourced ingredients and can wreck a kitchen in 8 seconds] I couldn’t help but boast to […]

COOL: Wild Beasts new album (Smother)

May 16, 2011

0

Words: Sarah Powell Smother is the new album from Wild Beasts, and while the title promises a kind of violent envelopment that’ll hound your ears and leave you gasping for breath, it does in fact do the opposite. Brimming with inventive touches, Smother creeps up on you, very quietly and cleverly, with sexually scathing lyrics […]

UNCOOL: Groupon

Groupon. You are not as good as we thought you were. Why do you shout so loud? We’re hearing a lot of ‘BUY BUY BUY’ when what we want to be hearing is …the sound of you unsubscribing us which we’d do ourselves were it not so complicated! Not only do you insist on fobbing […]

Cannot do these. Can anyone? Is this an intelligence thing?

COOL: Jessie Ware

EIC is nay a music blog, but that doesn’t stop us being well a-ware of Brixton rude-voice Jessie Ware. She looks Spanish but hasn’t got a margarita making gene in her. This week, Jessie’s tune with Bristol dubstepper –  JOKER – [The Vision (Let me breathe)] – reached silly popularity levels. Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record […]
