		<description><![CDATA[This week on erratic thinking, Jack Wright is joined by Dr Tillmann Vierkant discussing the implications of Libet&#8217;s famous and peculiar neuroscience experiment.
The experiment seemed to show that our brains instigate action before we consciously decide to act. If this is right it seems to show that our concious decisions actually have no power, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alice In Wonderland (3D) Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stuart Young Investigates&#8230;
Mad about Alice?
Alice in Wonderland arrives this Friday on a wave of hype, controversy, and marketing. Foremost is the dispute over which cinemas would agree to show the film &#8211; Disney intends to release the DVD in a lightning-fast three months which will cut into movie audiences. Then there&#8217;s the impressive volume of [...]]]></description>

It’s been five years since Damon Albarn has released anything from his cartoon electronic, pop, hip- hop outfit Gorillaz. The third studio album from the group and one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2010 but is it any good? I think the problem with creating so much hype around an album [...]]]></description>

I am unsure whether James Mathe played his own material or whether I just turned up too late to miss his performance as Anna Calvi was setting up just as I had purchased a beer from the bar.

		<description><![CDATA[By Simon Vansintjan
 Eluvium&#8217;s newest album &#8211; Similes &#8211; is absolutely striking. I&#8217;ve been a fan of Matthew Cooper&#8217;s work for a while now, it&#8217;s ambient music that I can relate with. I can identify his songs while generally other artists just blend into one happy humming noise that I can blissfully ignore while I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Samantha Field
Is Tropical are still relatively unknown. Based in London and signed to Hit Club Records they seem a long way from home in Glasgow’s Captain’s Rest. Clad with bandannas across their faces; they look more prepared for an elaborately dressed bank heist than their UK tour. Their set starts convincingly with an instrumental [...]]]></description>

The new album from the Scandinavian siblings is one that is definitely different. Rather than a standard release it is the soundtrack for an opera based on Charles Darwin’s seminal work ‘On the Origin of Species’ which they wrote for Danish performance group ‘Hotel Pro Forma’ and so cannot really be seen as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Live Review: Chapel Club Glasgow King Tuts, 12th Feb 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Kapil Seshasayee
There’s nothing wrong with a bit of creative borrowing. Robert Plant borrowed many a lyric from Howlin’ Wolf and the phrase “Folsom Prison Blues” wasn’t even written by Johnny Cash. There is, however, something wrong with lifting the core of your main single from a hit song by the co-founders of your chosen [...]]]></description>

On Sunday, my flatmate, Rosie, and I spent the evening being pushed and squished by screaming 14 and 15 year-old girls. Perhaps not the most romantic way to spend Valentine’s day, but the gig was far too good for me to care about that.

Norwegian band Casiokids bravely opened for Hot Chip at the HMV Picture house last Saturday. A relatively new band they did well to please the fans of one of the UK’s most popular electropop acts.
