They put a lot of hours and a lot of hard work into it” 10upfront Our bumper Art Issue is headed by Cardiff Contemporary, while Al Murray and Tim Key are eminent among a glut of touring comedians. Art and comedy are both narcissistic and bourgeois by definition, of course – as are all creative endeavours, apart from writing contents pages 28profile “My biggest thrill was beating Michael Jackson. It's never gonna happen again.” Bad news for anyone reading that quote and expecting an interview with either Quincy Jones or Michael Jackson’s dad, but good news for fans of Dutch jazz siren Caro Emerald, who discusses her chart success with us this month 30film “A handsome thriller with something to say” is a sentence fragment from one of Keiron Self’s reviews this month, which also describes Keiron himself. “An ever-changing maze guarded by biomechanical horrors” and “a possessed doll” are less accurate in this regard 32food&drink In the November 2012 issue of Buzz, my contents mentioned a street food festival in Cardiff, and the spectre of bigger cities scornfully deeming this two years behind the times. It’s now October 2014 and Cardiff has upgraded to a street food court, located in an unused warehouse. The slow march of progress 36previews Definitely a good month for fans of visual stimuli, Tim Shaw and Adventures In The Skin Trade packing especially good press images. Designer Gill did, however, bail on using the DJ Sprinkles photo where she’s kneeling down on a bed with a badger covering her arse (I’m not making this up) 44reviews Including the assertion that Everything But The Girl were “proper 90s Britpop at its best”. Don’t agree? Write in and complain! I want a list of all the people in the area who care enough about what bands were Britpop to write a letter about it 52sport Imagine a parallel universe where the film Dodgeball was never invoked when discussing the sport of dodgeball – as chief sportswriter Alistair does this month – but everyone’s go-to reference point for football was the 1999 movie Soccer Dog 55listings Just in case you missed me mentioning it in two listings entries, in my One Louder column on page 44, and on my personal Facebook page, I want to draw attention to the National History Museum in St Fagans selling Brains SA for £5.25 a bottle in their cafe 78competitions Q: What were thought to be the last words of Captain Oates before his death?
