I was going to start this post by explaining the concept of Secret Santas, but this isn’t about Secret Santas, it’s about Secret Satan, so I’ll just leave you to click the link, which will lead you to my favourite online information source, Wikipedia.com.
(Drat. now you know how I get Detonate and Label Junkie done.)
Anyway. [...]

Okay, I cheated. I did the walk twice and the first time round I failed to spot this. I nearly fell over when I did. I mean, mebbe it was the poor quality of the light the first time round, mebbe I didn’t look hard enough,  or mebbe it’s the nature of the piece, in its asbo-baiting hoodie, skulking [...]

Not a Banksy, but it is English.

So you’re wondering where’s the street cuture? This chick is in London and all she prattles on about are the bleedin’ chocolates and the pub grub. Well a bitch gotta eat, right? At any rate. I’m getting to it.  Despite having spent loads of time in London I had yet to discover the canals. Until now. Plied by joggers, cyclers, [...]

The Hitz.fm Motorola Malaysian English Top 10 Awards (MET 10) is currently on and Jungle Jerry and Nicky C have been nominated for their track ‘Yeke Yeke’ in the Best Pop/Dance category. If you dig the song as much as JUICE does, vote for it on SMS (as many times as you want even) and help [...]

I am so tickled I had to share this. I loved Ali G, but now I absolutely adore Borat. Borat Sagdiyev (aka Sacha Baron Cohen) has released the accompanying soundtrack to his “eagerly awaited” 20th Century Fox film Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan. The album includes tracks like ‘In My [...]

Yauatcha is the gorgeous all-day teahouse and dim sum restaurant run by Alan Yau, the owner of Hakkasan, Britain’s only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant.  Located in Soho, for the Power Station’s exhibition, Yauatcha opened a satelitte outlet in the Pavilion. Queues of gourmands predictably formed, all eager to tuck into eaterie’s 24 varieties of dim sum and wash [...]
