If you build it, they will come
The breakfast burritos get made the night before. By the time the first whistle blows at 6am Central, Joe has been up for an hour, pulling them out, getting the TVs fired up. Most of Green Bay is still asleep. The Packers do not play at dawn. Football, on the other hand, does not care what time it is in Wisconsin. Joe, the owner of Green Bay Casuals, is 49 this year. He has been involved in the game his entire life. Playing, coaching, officiating.
Apple at 50 — Half a Century of Revolution
There's something almost too on-the-nose about a company founded on April Fools' Day becoming the most valuable corporation on earth. But that's Apple. Fifty years ago this week, two Steves with bad haircuts and a garage in suburban California started soldering together circuit boards, flogging them for $666.66 a pop, and accidentally launched a revolution that put a supercomputer in your back pocket and turned your nan into a podcaster.
Trip to the moon
Fifty-four years after Apollo 17's Gene Cernan left his bootprints in lunar dust, humanity is heading back to the Moon. NASA's Artemis II mission launched yesterday evening from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, blasting off aboard the colossal Space Launch System rocket at 11:35pm BST on April 1st. No, not a wind-up. Four astronauts are now aboard the Orion spacecraft, named *Integrity*, hurtling through space on a ten-day flyby of the Moon that marks the first crewed lunar voyage since 1972.
Meet Fatboy Tim, the World's First Tribute DJ
Online Editor Nick Davie sits down with Tim Davies, the Hawaiian-shirted, barefoot-DJing doppelganger who accidentally invented an entire niche of dance music, and got the personal blessing of Norman Cook in the process. Nick Davie: How did Fatboy Tim actually come about? Tim Davies: I had a residency at a club in Clapham called Wessex House, and I used to wear Hawaiian shirts.
The photographer who stayed up to watch everyone come down
The photos are almost too familiar. A guy on Brighton beach at dawn, still wired, staring into space. A cluster of people on a London pavement outside a takeaway, eyes glazed, the city starting its day around them. A couple sat on a pile of morning papers, waiting for the tube to open , wanting to get home before everyone else gets up. Mischa HallerBrighton 05:30am You've seen this moment. You've probably been in it. What you haven't seen is someone who thought to photograph it.
Disco's Revenge: House Music's Billion Dollar Comeback | Sir! Magazine
Forty years after its inception in Chicago and New York, house music is back, big time. It dominates playlists, headlines the world’s biggest festivals, and fills arenas. The International Music Summit’s latest business report put the electronic music industry’s value at $12.9 billion, up six per cent year on year, the highest in history. Once again, that teutonic four-to-the-floor thump has become a global economy.

Here Before - Review
Grief, an emotion that can grip the human psyche tight within its grasp, is the vehicle for Here Before. It blurs the lines between reality and memory, merging the two and haunting the long-afflicted Laura (Andrea Riseborough). Stacey Gregg’s directorial debut is a tense exercise in gaslighting, dragging a family to the brink when new neighbours move next door, a young girl, in particular, reminding them of loss and tragedy.
The Filmmaker’s House - Review
This film was previously reviewed in July 2020 as part of our Sheffield Doc/Fest coverage. Part-documentary, part-fiction, Marc Isaacs invites audiences into his home, in this overtly invasive and introspective examination of life in controlled spaces. A foreboding uneasy sensation is shared amongst house inhabitants that are introduced to Isaacs’ personal space in what is a meditation on human connection.
Deerskin: The Philosophy of Absurdism
In analysing the 2019 Quentin Dupieux film Deerskin, there comes an acceptance that extrapolating deeper meanings from an absurd plot in Dupieux’s cinematic world is an act of self-parody. Through a study of narcissism’s consequential delusions, Deerskin offers up a ridiculous ‘love’ affair between a man and his jacket. With an exploration of the philosophical absurd, a character’s actions are justified only to themselves in their ego-inebriated states.
