Today's news: Forward thinking pop, Keira does Karenina & Bristol's a canvas...

CultureCritic | 06.August.2012 | 14:39

Good news for fans of forward thinking pop - new records by Yeasayer and Animal Collective (pictured) are imminent...

Scandinavians do it better (crime drama that is). Fancy winning a Scandi-crime pack including The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy on Blu-Ray?

She has her doubters - can Keira Knightley pull off Anna Karenina?

Two early Maurice Ravel operas get the Glyndebourne treatment, critics fawn...

All Bristol (city centre) is a (street art) canvas later this month for the second See No Evil...

Sorry no reviews have been returned.
