Went to see this on Saturday. Excellent exhibits and good interpretation, Only complaint; seemed a little small for £7 and could have done with some better lighting on the model ships.
This map does offer some improvements but the choice to give multiple lines to single tracks is an odd one, working against the improvements made in in track legibility afforded by reducing background clutter. In fact, I think the reduction in background clutter is the new map’s main selling point; the NY subway system isn’t as topographically complex as the London tube system so the insistence on orthogonal line representation and the reshaping of the coast (reducing the information content of the map) seems to me to be informed by dogma rather than the goal of making the map more useful/usable.
Things tagged with ‘towatch’ are kind of notes to myself regarding what I should get out next time I’m in the video shop or what I want to see if I go to the cinema otherwise I forget and end up watching something like Crank.
By Bonde Do Role. Not quite a hi-octane as their earlier stuff but still plenty of shouting, the slightly less hysterical tone makes me think I might be able to sit through a whole album without getting a headache. The use of an actual guitar in the video is worrying, and not at all the kind of thing I want to see from these guys.
According to Popjustice:
This song, ‘Office Boy’, is about a boy with bad hair who works in an office and saves up all his money so he can rub himself up against women on a bus on the way to the beach.
There is something we can all relate to in that.
And also:
There is also a song on the album about James Bond being a gaylord.
