UNCOOL: kitchen intimidation

May 24, 2011 by

2

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 by

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 […]

Words: James Clarke Dear Diary,  OK so I think I’ve got most of the speech finished at last (Arghhh!!!). I’ve done away with the old “Friends, Romans” opening but decided to keep the bit about the sandpaper paddling. Father tells me that “a proper blast from the past and a bit of a laugh” always […]

Meet our latest inspiration, Rob Goodkind. He’s a nice honest chap from North London who, last year, turned his love of honeycomb into a cracking new confectionary enterprise called Good Kind Of Food. These days he makes so much of the stuff, there’s talk he’s putting CRUNCHIE out of business. EIC caught up with the modern day […]

buff   Hello Mr Summer! Can we say that now? Well it looks like summer. The sky is blue, the jesus sandals are out and the tube does smells of death. EIC is not joking when we say the Rose scent by Le Labo is helping us drown out the stench of summer on people. […]

COOL: The Killing

Words: James Clarke Mørke mord voldtægt undersøgelse. Those are just four heart-warming Danish words I haven’t been able to understand until recently. I’ve also developed an intense admiration for people with massive bags under their eyes, forgotten how much I miss smoking indoors and have a man crush on overpriced female knitwear. I’m still able […]
