True Blood: Season One

03 Oct 2009 / Comments Off / in Film & Television/by Christopher Bryant

[rating=5]
US: 691 min • Warner Home Video • DVD

The fast, sexy and thoroughly anti-Twilight series True Blood has breathed life back into the vampire genre.

The story arc, the murders of local fang-bangers, and the tension between the living and the undead, makes for a mesmerising series. The twelve-episode format also means that it is not necessary to dilute the tension.

Yeah Ghost • Zero 7

03 Oct 2009 / Comments Off / in Music/by Nick Smith

[rating=3]
Released on September 28, 209

A varied affair that, whilst having its moments, does not quite gel together.

Their potency seems to still lie in the downbeat, trip-hop, ambient arena. The album has divided critics, but there are some real creative fires crackling whenever Mtungwazi guests and she truly lends a vibrancy to her tracks.

The Kick Inside • Kate Bush

03 Oct 2009 / Comments Off / in Classics: Music/by Christopher Bryant

[rating=4]
Released on February 17th, 1978

The first Kate Bush album started an unconventional and successful career.

The Kick Inside is a lyrically and musically raw debut and it is powered by talent and innocence.

03 Oct 2009 / Comments Off / in Opinion/by Jacqueline Wing

Polari Facts looks at how to deal with cyberbullies.

Facts turns to the checklist of how to deal with cyberbullies by Louise Burfitt-Dons from Act Against Bullying

Cyberbullying can be one of the most unpleasant experiences you can encounter. It normally has the same menacing effect as being ‘stalked’.

On the bully

03 Oct 2009 / Comments Off / in Heroes & Villains/by Rebel Scum

On the effects of the bully on children and adults.

The bully never goes away. The schoolyard bully, the celebrity bully, the political bully: from the street to the television their influence in insidious. Rebel Scum looks at what can be done about it.

The bully is a staple in the life of every school kid. And being bullied is an experience everyone goes through in one form or another – from run-ins with the boy who has status issues in the schoolyard through to the mainstream gay press telling you just what it means to be a ‘proper gay’.

Coming Out in the ’00s, A New York Times special

27 Sep 2009 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by News

A New York Times special report.

On a new generation of teenagers coming out..

Homophobic Murder in Jamaica

11 Sep 2009 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by News

Homophobic Murder of British Consul John Terry.

Once again Jamaica and homophobia are linked.

Homophobia is rife on the island and attacks on gay men and lesbians are common.

Complete Me • Frankmusik

15 Aug 2009 / Comments Off / in Music/by Nick Smith

[rating=4]
Released August 3rd, 2009

Something ’80s, and something new, the Frankmusik album impresses Arthur Pocket.

Although 2009 has already seen a glut of individual electro-pop artists, Frankmusik is surely ranked up there with La Roux for sheer originality, casting aside with talented ease the obvious frippery of Lady Gaga and the overcooked Little Boots.

Taller Children • Elizabeth & The Catapult

15 Aug 2009 / Comments Off / in Music/by Bryon Fear

[rating=5]
Released on June 9th, 2009

A rich, varied, and gratifying debut.

Taller Children is an extremely confident and satisfyingly complex album. It boasts some of the boldest music production I have heard in recent years.

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
