Ok - Talvin Singh

This will get you Dan-singh

Advantages: Original, well produced and excellent
Disadvantages: Has v. deep bass, which may not come across well on some stereo's

Talvin Singh is known as the main spokesperson for “Asian cool”, he is a classically trained tabla player who has worked with artists such as Björk and Massive attack and won the Mercury music prize and critical aclaim for his debut album Ok. This album starts with the mood-setting One, and then moves on to Mustard Fields, which is rightly declared beforehand as anthemic. The Beat Goes On and Dubla are probably the danciest tracks on the album. The Beat Goes On would fit in a Dj’s house set (well it does in mine anyway) and Dubla with its deep bass-lines and squelchy synth intensity is enough to make anyone dance, or at least sway a bit. My personal favourite is the slow, reflective final track Silver Flowers. Ha is a lot more accessible than Ok, for one thing most of the tracks are vocal, but there is a much ...

Review of Ha - Talvin Singh

Women Rule OK!

Advantages: Probably the Best Celebrity Magazine around
Disadvantages: Creates a False Impression of Life

ORIGINALLY WRITTEN May 2002 INTRODUCTION OK I will admit the fact that I am a gossip. I love to know all the trivia about the people around me. There is so much useless information floating around in my head. Bengali people are the most inquisitive people I know. So I guess my gossipy nature is in my genes. But since I got married I have less interest in the lives of celebrities. I began reading celebrity magazines like 'Weekend' and 'Titbits' in the late 1970s. I also used to read 'The Sun' and 'The News of the World' newspapers. In the 1980s I used to read 'Revue', 'Chat' and 'The National Enquirer' magazines. In the early 1990s I bought a few issues of 'Hello' magazine. OK! magazine came out in the early 1990s as a rival to 'Hello'. I have only bought it about 5 or 6 times. This review is about issue 313 of OK! dated ...

Review of OK!

OK the cheaper gossip mag

Advantages: Cheaper than 'HELLO!'
Disadvantages: Not many interviews

The 'OK!' magazine is basically a mag full of celebrity gossip and news. Some people are addicted to the mag, overs totally 100% dislike it! The cover always pushes me into buying it because they always place really interesting pictures and goss on the front that you just have to read! So you pick up the mag, take a look read the gossip and then realise that you've been standing in the shop for about half an hour, BUT you can't put the magazine down because you NEED to know the latest juicy goss~So what do you do, you buy it of course don't you! OR in some cases just go to a local hair salon and sit in the waiting room, I assure you they will have all the latest issues! Though that way may be a little more expensive because geting your hair cut is just a little more than £1.85! Well, anyway STOP me nattering and lets get into ...
