Lady Sovereign's Jigsaw drops today

Dumped by Def Jam following her failed attempt to crack the American market, Lady Sovereign returns to Britain to find her lippy, dimwit banter outpaced by cultural turnover.


This kind of observational demotic has been done with more wit and care by Lily Allen and Kate Nash, and that affected, brat-speak delivery has long since become dated. The main problem is that the appealing chorus of the album opener, "Let's Be Mates" – "I'm weird, and you're weird, let's be mates" – is belied in lazy raps that actually celebrate her lack of any idiosyncratic charm or weirdness. In "Pennies", she moans about getting ripped off; "Food Play" recycles grub-based sexual clichés that are far less amusing than she imagines; and in "Guitar", she reacts to her inability to master this democratic instrument with infantile petulance. Face? Bovvered? If it wasn't already clear that she was suffering the classic inferiority complex of a school dropout, "Student Union" offers her opinion that "it was crap at the student uni bar". With such Wildean ripostes, how can she fail? Sadly, time abroad has also decoupled her musically – when the most potent backing on your album is the Cure sample in "So Human", it's time for a rethink. Maybe she should have stayed in America and learned from the more interesting M.I.A. and Santogold.

Kulture Klash

What is Kulture Klash?

It is a bi-annual arts festival in Charleston, SC put on every Spring and Fall. It is co-produced by three local entities: Suite Sole Sneaker Boutique, Charleston's Most Unique Magazine, and (Artist/Curator) Scott Debus. Our goal is to bring a new vision for local art, dance and music by combining traditional/conservative forms of display with more contemporary/modern designs to complete the thought of our theme "Kulture Klash". We seek out the most interesting local and regional artists, mesmerizing dancers and body shaking musicians that we can find to bring something unexpected and unforgettable to the Holy City.

How many people attend Kulture Klash?

Since the first installment in November of 2007, KK has grown at a steady pace. Our first event drew in almost 800 people, the second event attracted 1300, and KK3 pulled in an astounding 2300 (in the rain!). For this fourth event we anticipate a crowd upwards of 3000+. There is plenty of parking adjacent to the new venue.

What is the festival like?

Our new 40,000 square foot venue in the Navy Yard is only a block from our previous venue (we have outgrown). This huge new space offers unlimited wall space for hanging art from over 50 different artists as well as multiple small installation rooms for performances, intimate music and poetry, and silent documentary screenings. Performances should include a live ice sculpture demonstration, a recycled fashion collaboration and a Brazilian percussion dance.

30,000 square feet of fenced outdoor space allows our attendees to enjoy the beautiful spring weather while relaxing in the beer garden during any of our 6 musical performances on the outdoor main stage. Food vendors (Mellow Mushroom and Diggity Doughnuts among others) will be on site to offer a diverse selection of walkable food items to feed hungry bellies.

Our Spring event always coincides with Earth Day, so KK4 will be incorporating only re-usable and compostable materials for beverages and requires all food vendors to use compostable or recycled/recyclable plates, napkins and flatware.

Who attends Kulture Klash?

Our event crowd consists of diverse ages ranging from children to grandparents, and they all have a great time. Our main age ranges from 18-40 combining college students, young professionals, artists, the f&b crowd and all others with creative, forward thinking minds. Most are earth-friendly and looking for a fresh approach to the arts. They are also interested in seeing new things, meeting new people and letting their hair down in a typically conservative Southern town.

LOHAN||IS # TIMES A CHARM DUI

SANTA MONICA, Calif (AP) -- Lindsay Lohan, who just finished a second stint in rehab for substance abuse treatment, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and possession of cocaine early Tuesday, authorities said.

Lohan, who is already facing a drunken driving charge in Beverly Hills, was stopped near the Santa Monica Police Department after authorities were called about a car chasing another vehicle, said Sgt. Shane Talbot.

Authorities conducted a field sobriety test and then transported Lohan to the police department.

A breath test was conducted and her blood alcohol was between .12 percent and .13 percent, Talbot said. California's legal limit is 0.08 percent.

The 21-year-old actress was booked on two misdemeanor charges of suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license and two felony charges of possession of cocaine and transport of a narcotic, Talbot said.

During a pre-booking search, police found cocaine in one of Lohan's pants pockets, Talbot said.

Lohan has been released on $25,000 bail, police said.

A call to Lohan's publicist was not immediately returned.

Police said they received a call around 1:30 a.m. from passengers in a black Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicle who said they were being chased by a white Denali SUV. Police met up with the SUVs in the parking lot of Santa Monica's Civic Center, about a block away from the police department.

When police approached the Denali, they recognized Lohan as the driver. The passengers in the other vehicle apparently know Lohan, but did not realize she was chasing them.

Lohan had two passengers in her vehicle. There were three people in the other vehicle, police said.

Last week, Lohan turned herself in to Beverly Hills police to face charges of driving under the influence in connection with a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash.

Lohan's blood-alcohol level at the time of that crash was above the legal limit, authorities said. They wouldn't disclose how high it was. She also faces a misdemeanor charge of hit and run in that case.

Lohan and two other adults were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible when she lost control and crashed into a curb and shrubs on Sunset Boulevard on May 26, police said.

Lohan got into a second car and was driven to a hospital in Century City for minor injuries, police said. The others in her car were not hurt.

Officers received a 911 call about the accident and traced her to the hospital.

Two weeks ago, Lohan checked out of a rehabilitation center after more than six weeks. In January she also had checked into rehab for substance abuse treatment.

New Bags from Insiders NY

Insiders NY Bags


Whether it's sporting a heart symbol or a gratuitous "f*cking", NYC-themed gear tends to unwearable junk. For a classier showcasing of civic pride, grab a messenger bag from Insiders NY.

INY specializes in stamping iconic City images onto a wide range of accessories -- though the messenger (or wallet) is the way to go, assuming you don't carry a clutch or tote. The process: choose your bag's materials -- Italian leather, or Nylonian nylon -- then select an image, which INY'll transpose onto the flap using a heat-transfer process (producing goods far more durable than your Camaro! iron-on). There are 24 shots in all, including the 6 Train, a graffiti-strewn Canal St Station, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Library Lion, Coney Island, and the John Lennon memorial -- easy to Imagine slung over a decrepit hippie's shoulder after you've forgotten it on the 6 Train.

Order in significant bulk, and INY'll even create bags featuring your own photographic efforts -- a unique corporate gift, though expensive enough that your friends and family might just have to make do with f*cking hearts.
