    Mayer Hawthornes latest album is

    a collection of dirty sexy love songs.

    Musically, the record is seductive

    and surprisingly calm. The musicitself acts as more of a background

    for the lyrics and the storytelling

    on the record. Its groovy and the

    vocal work is fantastically smooth;

    you can feel that Hawthorne is in

    control of his range and commands

    the melodies. Reach Out Richard

    is the prime example of how

    melodic Hawthorne can be and the

    minimalistic instrumentation draws

    The Cars is the eponymous debut

    studio album by American rock band

    The Cars, released on June 6, 1978 via

    Elektra. While most bands in the late

    70s were either embracing punk/new

    wave or hard rock, The Cars were one

    of the rst bands to merge the two

    styles together. Add to this frontman

    and songwriter Ric Ocaseks sweet

    pop sensibilities and the resulting

    album suddenly had mass appeal.

    The Boston-based quintet not only

    proved that a humble rock band could

    conquer the airwaves, (with Just

    What I Needed and My Best Friends

    Girl getting plenty of radioplay), they

    also achieved considerable chart

    success. Having sold one million

    copies by the end of 1978, The Cars

    peaked at number 18 on the Billboard

    you right into Hawthornes vocals and

    lyrics. On the other hand, BackseatLover has a jazz room-esque feel and

    follows the short album introduction

    seamlessly. If I gotta be/ your cheap

    backseat lover man/well lets get it

    on then sings Hawthorne, handing

    himself over with little resistance.

    The track is the absolutely perfect,

    musically and vocally balanced; it

    sets you up for the rest of the album.

    Crime sounds refreshingly different,

    while tting into the other tracks

    on the record. Hawthorne reaches

    higher pitches and this tracks involves

    much more active beat than some

    of the other tracks. Album closer All

    Better is the stand out track on therecord, a gentle slow piano behind the

    vocals, it feels almost a capella until

    it slides into a string arrangement

    and comes back down. The track is

    touching, melancholic, and sweet,

    its Hawthorne at his rawest and the

    mood lingers for a few moments

    afterwards

    WRITTEN BY SEBASTIAN MACKAY

    200 chart in March 1979 and remained

    on the charts for 139 weeks.

    Ocaseks twitchy vocals became a

    hallmark of The Cars sleek, hook-

    lled sound, along with Bassist Ben

    Orrs slightly smoother vocals, Elliot

    Eastons streamlined guitar riffs,

    Greg Hawkes colorful keyboard/

    synthesizer decorations and David

    Robinsons big beats and propulsive

    percussion.

    With familiar hits such as My

    Best Friends Girlfriend and Good

    Times Roll, or the rocking riffs and

    swooshing synths of Just What

    I Needed, it seems somewhat

    inevitable that these tracks were

    going to become classics. But like

    most inimitable rock albums, the

    lesser-known compositions have

    plenty to offer too. The fast-paced

    Dontcha Stop, the poppy charm

    of Bye Bye Love, or closing tracks

    Moving In Stereo - offering a darker,

    more atmospheric point of view - and

    All Mixed Up with its classy sax solo.

    What started as a merging of guitar-orientated rock with new wave synth-

    pop, The Cars debut has gone on to

    become an all time classic, whichever

    genre you want to look at it from.

    Concluding their loose Cornetto

    trilogy after Shaun of the Dead

    and Hot Fuzz, The Worlds End sees

    director Edgar Wright reteam withSimon Pegg and Nick Frost, and

    the result is some of the best work

    theyve committed to screen.Shaun

    may be almost ten years old (and their

    TV show Spaced even older), but the

    trio have lost none of their chemistry,

    with The Worlds End beneting

    greatly from these gentlemen being

    a little older and more experienced

    craftsmen. Wright in particular seems

    set on making the lm his own, with

    lower levels of homage or parody

    than its predecessors.

    As with their previous lms theres a

    strong genre component, this time

    honing in on late 70s/early 80s sci-

    (think The Stepford Wives, Invasion of

    the Body Snatchers, John Carpenter

    lms and loads of UK telly). While

    this aspect of the lm is gradually

    unveiled, the other major thread of

    The Worlds End is on offer from the

    get-go, with Simon Peggs character

    spurring his 40-something mates on

    to revisit the best night of his life, anaborted teen pub crawl. Nostalgia

    falls under the spotlight just as

    squarely as sci- carry-on, but dont

    think for minute that this is an overly

    serious lm despite its musings on

    growing up.

    Side-splittingly hilarious, The Worlds

    End deftly balances its character

    work with lashings of comedy and

    impressive action sequences. These

    show how much of a grip Wright has

    on this stuff, hinting at what hes

    capable of when he tacklesAnt-Man

    for Marvel later this year. Bursting

    with great performances, full of gags,

    with more lm references than you

    could shake a stick at and one hell of

    an ending, The Worlds End is damn-

    near compulsory viewing.

    THE WORLDS END

    FILM OF ThE WEEK

    ON SCREEN

    Each hour of this series will take viewers on a

    captivating, revealing, and sometimes shocking tour

    of the US past. The series casts its net wide, exploring

    the corners and backrooms of institutions dedicated

    to a variety of popular and entertaining subjects.

    Cape Town record shop owner and music fan Stephen

    Segerman, meets music journalist Craig Bartholomew-

    Strydom. The pair team up and decide to try and nd

    out what happened to Rodriguez, despite prevailing

    and conicting rumours of his death.

    Madeleine Sami returns in the second season of Super

    City. Directed by Oscar Kightley, the series will focus

    on four new characters, all portrayed by Madeleine

    Sami. Theres Ofa Fakaapaapa, ; Levi Tutaima, Mary

    Dalziel and Brit Ray Donaldson.

    Monty Pythoners John Cleese and Michael Palin join

    Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis in an entertaining

    lm that is so impeccably timed and executed. Four

    conniving jewel thieves, three Yorkshire terriers and

    one proper British barrister.

    The Hecks are back at their dysfunctional best in the

    brand new season of The Middle! After Mike lets slip

    that Axl is his favourite child, Sue attempts to win her

    father over with her summer scrapbooking project,

    while Frankie tries to get each of the children to

    admit that she is the preferred parent.

    You dont want to be the one kid on the block that

    hasnt seen Game of Thrones, so if you missed the

    dramatic third season, now is your chance to relive

    all the death, sex, gore, incest and more. Its Russian

    Roulette with every episode with none of your

    favourite characters safe from meeting a grizzly end.

    The Wolverineopens in theatres this Wed 24 Jul, the sixth

    installment in theX-Men lm series, and following on fromX-Men:

    The Last Stand(2006). Featuring the Marvel Comics character Logan/

    Wolverine, Hugh Jackman once again plays the iconic-clawed mutants

    title character, with James Mangold directing a screenplay written by

    Christopher McQuarrie, Scott Frank, and Mark Bomback.

    Based on the 1982 limited series Wolverine by Chris Claremont and

    Frank Miller, The Wolverine takes Logan from America to Tokyo, only

    to become inextricably drawn into a twisted labyrinth of deceit and

    treachery. Out of his element in a culture that is entirely foreign, he

    confronts a host of formidably vicious and deadly adversaries; from

    Yakuza to mobsters, as well as Viper and the legendary Silver Samurai.

    He also faces his own inner demons and the bleak destiny that is

    inevitable for a man who is immortal.

    This story takes The Wolverine into a world that is vastly different from

    any seen before in theX-Men series, says Hugh Jackman, who also

    serves as a producer on the lm. There are a lot of battles in this story,

    but the greatest battle of all is the one within Logan between being a

    monster and a becoming a human being.

    From the start Mangold (best known for Walk The Line and3:10 to Yuma)

    wanted to break the mold of the comic book-based lm. He explains:The Wolverine was about doing something quite different from the

    standard superhero movie, where its about stopping a villains diabolical

    plot. In line with this the action and suspense are built more on

    character, and woven into a new world - which makes for a completely

    different kind of experience.

    Despite this, the action is visceral from start to nish, but juxtaposed

    with the beauty of Japan. The atmosphere of Japan seeps through the

    movie, Jackman observes. For Logan it has the effect of wiping clean

    all his normal ways of interacting with people. He has to start fresh.

    Logan goes on to learn about the Samurai code, which hes initially

    distrustful of. He starts to gain respect for the idea of being a warrior,

    for the sense of service that they have. And he starts to become the

    better version of himself.

    From the start, Jackman was committed to taking Wolverine to new

    levels of physicality, which involved the most intensive and disciplined

    preparation regime he has undergone yet. I started training and a very

    strict diet well in advance and I think the results have really paid off.

    Learning new ghting styles was also paramount to the performance. I

    have always portrayed Wolverine as a street ghter and a pub brawler.

    But one of the great things about this story is that when he comes to

    Japan, he starts to really take discipline and training to heart.

    Surrounding Logan on his journey is an international cast of characters.

    To play the vital role of Shingen Yashida (the leader of a vast criminal

    empire and father of Wolverines new love Mariko), Mangold ttingly

    chose a man who is himself a legend of Japanese lm, Hiroyuki Sanada

    (Twilight,Ring, The Last Samurai,Rush Hour 3).

    Sanadas well-honed Samurai skills also beneted other cast members

    as he shared his broad knowledge of martial arts action, including with

    rst-time actor Rila Fukushima, who plays sword-wielding bodyguard

    Yukio, one of the deadliest assassins in Shingens clan.

    Although The Wolverine takes place away from theX-Men team, there

    are appearances from gures in Logans past, including Jean Grey, the

    telekinetic mutant, played once again by Famke Janssen. Our scenes are

    dream-like, beautiful, intimate, and perhaps a little disturbing, Janssen

    hints, and they really help to connect the unique experience of this

    story to the rest of theX-Men mythology.

    To capture Logans perilous journey to rediscover the hero inside, there

    were other important visual elements. Director of photography Ross

    Emery, production designer Franois Audouy and costume designer Isis

    Mussenden each contributed to a design that mixes together elements of

    noir cinema, Japanese folklore, graphic novel iconography and intense

    personal drama.

    On the lm, Audouy also was involved in the creation of Wolverines

    nemesis, the Silver Samurai, whose pose-able mechanical suit was built

    from the ground up. The suit was made up of over 600 parts, each

    separately designed and modeled in a computer. When you read it on the

    page you think, Ah, of course itll be CG. But it was pretty cool that we

    got the opportunity to build a real 13-foot robot that kicks ass.

    With thundering action, breathtaking stunts and a rivetingly gritty

    storyline The Wolverine wont disappoint fans, and is sure to create

    plenty of new devotees. And for those not so keen on this sort of action-fantasy genre, surely the promise of Hugh Jackman buffer than ever

    before is worth something?

    SHIT WORTH plAyING

    Magic the Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 t tt tt

    t t v t tbt cctb c . The card game has animmense following and has been around since the early 1990s. The game (both

    versions) revolves around playing with a deck of cards, which includes creatures,

    spells, artifacts, and mana cards. A player summons creatures onto the table who

    attack the enemy and reduce their health. Simple!

    New decks in this version of the game are very impressive, and contain some

    absolutely awesome cards. The artwork is top notch, and makes for a beautiful

    and engrossing experience. The new Sealed Play feature is made all the more

    enjoyable, thanks to virtually simulating the feeling of unwrapping new booster

    packs and building your own decks from scratch.

    The best part? New foil packs are unlocked digitally and require no real world

    money, so you simply need to make a deck and play with it. It is good to see that

    Wizards of the Coast havent gone down the micro-transactions pathway when it

    comes to acquiring new cards. Unfortunately, you are limited to just two slots for

    your own Sealed Play decks - but you can unlock more, for a small fee.

    An avoidance of micro-transactions means that Magic the Gathering - Duelsof the Planeswalkers 2014 makes for a balanced experience online and this is

    denitely the area where you will be wanting to spend most of your time. Once

    you have crafted a deck, there is no better way than to test its resilience than

    against another human opponent. Here, not much has changed on the surface,

    and the multiplayer is a smooth and well-designed experience allowing up to four

    people to play against each other.

    When I rst played Magic the Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014, I was

    expecting the same experience as last year, simply with new decks. The new

    Sealed Play game mode really adds to the Magic the Gathering feel, however,

    signicantly changing things for the better. Ive found building my owns decks

    to be one of the most enjoyable elements the game and this is really the feature

    that makes this years iteration a must-have for Magic the Gathering fans.

    Ttc v-t tc t t -t- rpg, Path of Exile.

    Twitch allows Path of Exile players to stream gameplay from within the game

    itself, as well as adding webcam overlays and supporting Twitch channel chat.

    Weve witnessed rst-hand the rapidly growing appeal of live streaming

    gameplay, so its great to see Grinding Gear Games integrate Twitch functionality

    into a compelling title like Path of Exile, said Twitchs Matthew DiPietro.

    Equally notable is theyve embraced Twitchs ability to leverage game data to

    make leaderboards more dynamic so that players are able to know when their

    competition is streaming.

    The additional functionality comes as part of patch 0.11.2, which is live now and

    also makes signicant changes to the Ranger starting area, as well as numerous

    other tweaks.

    In the case of MAG in particular, the closure date will be two days after its fourth

    birthday (January 26th); SOCOM Confrontation originally released in 2008, while

    Special Forces rst landed in April of 2011.

    The closure will be of particular note in the case of the MAG and Confrontation

    communities, as both games are focused solely on online multiplayer; without

    servers to support them, neither will be playable.

    Sony have not made any recent statements regarding the future of the SOCOM

    franchise, however Shuhei Yoshida - president of Sonys Worldwide Studios -

    suggested in June of last year that its eventual return is not beyond the realms of

    possibility.

    ENcORE

    OE OF BRITAIS most exciting new talents, Jake Bugg, has beenscheduled to play a one-off show on our shores for the rst and hopefullynot the last time next week in Auckland.

    Described as a visceral and exciting talent he has ticked boxes for criticsand music-lovers alike the world over. At just 19-years-old Buggs successis huge, impressive even. The working class lad from ottingham comesfrom a broken home and dropped out of music school at 16. While a storylike that makes a great bio for despondent and hopeful youth to relate tohis current standing is an elevation that will stay a distant dream too farout of reach for most.

    Buggs musical story, the current bit anyway - he came from two musicallyinclined parents, started in 2011 atop the BBCs introducing stage at theGlastonbury Festival. Like a quick ring domino tumble everything got big.

    Mercury Records snapped Bugg up and he released his self-titled debutalbum last October to rapturous success. The album, Jake Bugg, quicklyclimbed to number one in the United Kingdoms album charts followedclosely in the singles charts by Lightning Bolt and Two Fingers whichtopped out at 26th and 28th respectively.

    Hes been nominated for big awards this year like MEs Best Album andBest Solo Artist, and the BRIT Awards British Breakthough Act. He didntwin them but nomination itself amongst a cast of impressive names likeBen Howard, Alt-J, and Rita Ora is pretty respectable.

    While all that could quickly go to your head he has remained humble,not shy in letting people know hes more interested in playing showsthen attending awards ceremonies. Hes quoted as saying about the BRITAwards, If Ive got nowt to do I might swing by. Ive got one day off from

    the tour. I dont know yet I might go. I might just skip the do and head tothe after party. Ill wake up on Wednesday morning and just see how I feel,(my chances of winning are) very slim... I expect Rita Ora to win, but goodluck to all of them.... its great (to be nominated) but I dont really need anaward to inspire me to keep writing music and playing my songs.

    Whats so great about his music though? He is a seemingly unique artist

    pairing retro folk with contemporary rock riffs. Writing about his ownpersonal experiences he manages to bring his view to the mainstream,with a wider cultural connection.

    There is a developed sense of authenticity in his writing that has beenfundamental in generating wide appeal; he is a tailor creating instant con-nections with music fans. His is a sound of simplicity, pure and unpreten-tious, the songs are described as perfectly poised and somewhat poignantlyrical tales.

    The worlds music critics have been busy with their branders. His debutis laced with wit and his melody and lyricism has drawn comparisons toclassic songwriters like Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, as wellas modern greats like The Arctic Monkeys, Damon Albarn and oel Gal-lagher.

    Rolling Stone Magazine described his music as, The Sound of Rock nRoll being newly discovered. Even our own provinces have been prettyexcited about his talent with The Waikato Times saying, Simply, JakeBugg is the greatest mature-thinking youngest singer-songwriter to comeout of Britain in an age... yes Bugg is that good.

    Some pretty big names have leapt on the Bugg-buzz. The Stone Rosesinvited him to open for their secret London g
