Gig review: 18 Visions
Matt was expecting something predictable and miserable from this band, but he was in for a surprise. Turn on, tune in, drop out
Matt has something against careerism and how the CV has become more important than a contribution to academia. "Do what you wish to do, and be who you wish to be, and career prospects be damned." Gig review: The Izzys
8th November
"Well-made, middle-of-the-road, plain rock" was Matt's verdict on the Izzys' gig in York. The University Personality
3rd November 2004
Like Dr. Jekyll and his dear friend Mr. Hyde, a new student can change from a reasonably normal wet-behind-the-ears youth into a University Personality, crafted for the purpose of attracting a mate, appearing interesting and eccentric and fascinating, blending in, or simply becoming a worker drone.

19th October 2004
Who doesn't love a spot of 1980s nostalgia? Children's cartoons of the eighties! Weren't they wonderful? Yes, the eighties was a great time for anthropomorphic peas teaching the facts of life, and malformed stuffed toys showing us the value of diversity.
Introducing Matt
