“I've got so much respect for sportsmen. 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

Q: What were thought to be the last words of
Captain Oates before his death? A: “It’s time
for the percolator”
