TRIBE TURNS TWO
It started with a welcome…
The year unfolded…
And again…
Only two years young, expect further growth and greater goodness from the ATCN family.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS.
THE WAIT IS ALMOST “OVER”
Its been well over a year since Aubrey Drake Graham dropped his game changing, Grammy acknowledged mixtape, So Far Gone.
As popular music’s new poster child, the world has been patiently waiting for his hotly anticipated ‘It Needs To Be A Classic’ debut album – Thank Me Later
Apparently tonight at midnight Drizzy will unveil to the world the first single off his forthcoming new album – “Over”
Produced by Boi 1da – the same guy who produced Forever, Uptown and Best I Ever Had, you can hear a 14sec (yeah silly I know) snippet here
Thank Me Later.
Canon 5D2 -The Aftermath
Shot in natural sunlight and only from a Canon 5D2 and Kessler Pocket Dolly, this footage of the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti by Khalid Mohtaseb is both formidably moving and stunning.
Movie Musts
We’ve all been there before. “Doesn’t that remind you of that scene in ‘The Shining’ when he…”, you are cut short mid sentence and your friend replies “I haven’t seen that movie before.” With furrowed eyebrows you reply “Why? What’s wrong with you?” Then one day whilst gallantly running around in circles pointing my finger at my friends who haven’t watched movies they religiously should have, I stopped and saw I was pointing at myself in the mirror. Oh shit, what movies have I not watched before…And so my friends, the quest begins. First on the list -
Trainspotting, 1996 (dir. Danny Boyle)

"Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television...."
“Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortage repayments…”
“Choose D.I.Y and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning…”
“Pissing your last in a miserable home; nothing more than an embarrassment…”
“To those selfish, fucked up brats, that you’ve spawned to replace yourself…”
“Choose your future, choose life.”
I can honestly say I don’t care for scary movies and really heavy seated genres. So I wasn’t exactly jumping from my seat when I popped the DVD in however it wasn’t as I thought it would be (a la ‘Requiem For A Dream’; really depressing), it was, despite being a bit trippy and disgusting at parts, very humorous. Highlights were, the dope soundtrack, Ewan McGregor’s yellow fitted tank top and the way his character speaks in narrative – “With God’s help I will conquer this terrible affliction” – all the more entertaining, as you can imagine, spoken in a Scottish accent.
Next on the list, ‘The Godfather’ trilogy. Lowers head in shame.
