ALBUM
SOUTHERN LIGHTS - SJD
SJD produces disarmingly music uninterested in high-octane dance-floor
posturing, opting instead for beautiful melodies that move you in a
decidedly more sublime manner. Southern Lights is a must for your
collection.

VIDEO - ARTIST
LET ME DIE A WOMAN - PHOENIX FOUNDATION
Meandering bass lines, gentle rhythms and melodies create a veil of sound,
filmy enough to catch the breeze but too strong to push aside. The Phoenix
Foundation are another great welly act that deserve attention.

Werewolf: Katniss Joins The News Team

From the outset, the Hunger Games series has dwelt obsessively on the ways that media images infiltrate our public and personal lives... From that grim starting point, Mockingjay Part One takes the process a few stages further. There is very little of the film that does not involve the characters (a) being on screens (b) making propaganda footage to be screened and (c) reacting to what other characters have been doing on screens.
