Comic Relief Queen | Nouse Nouse Web Archives Comic Relief Queen Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Comic Relief Queen By Laura Hulley, Music Editor (2008/09) Tuesday 10 March 2009 Laura Hulley talks to The Saturday’s Mollie King. No one can be blamed for doing a double take when hearing (and seeing) The Saturdays for the first time. Five very pretty girls, unashamedly ‘pop’; traditionally manufactured, packaged and presented to the public as a finished product sometime last July. Sound familiar? I too once dismissed them as Girls Aloud II. They supported Cheryl Cole et al on their 2008 ‘Tangled Up’ Tour. It seems, however, as they release the 2009 Comic Relief Single, that The Saturdays may finally have been accepted as a band in their own right. “Doing the Comic Relief single is such a big deal, it’s such a compliment to do it”, enthuses the exuberant Mollie. She tells me that they are on a Comic Relief Tour, visiting the projects which the fundraising helps to support all over the UK. So how does one get to do the Comic Relief Single? “They approached us, which was great – it was so flattering to be asked! It’s a huge deal, such a stepping stone for us. It’s really a sign that we’re getting somewhere.” Getting somewhere they are – all their singles have reached the UK Top 10, and with every Comic Relief Single since 1995 having reached the top spot, that number one does not look far away. So, how are they coping with the limelight? ‘To be honest, we have the best of both worlds. When we’re together, we get recognised, but alone, we don’t. It’s great to be able to get lost in the crowd!” I’m not sure how Mollie will take the Girls Aloud question, but she is nothing but smiles and courtesy: ‘Oh God – I love them, it’s such a compliment to be compared to them after such a short amount of time. We get on really well. They’re so successful, and nothing but an inspiration”. Diplomatic. So what else inspires such a pure-bred pop group? “As a band, we love The Spice Girls – they conquered the world. For me personally, I love all really poppy stuff: Britney, Justin Timberlake, Paolo Nutini…” Mollie does in fact play the guitar. She was also in girl band Fallen Angelz, who reached the Judges’ houses stages of X Factor before getting voted off. How does she cope with the ‘you’re-all-style-no- substance-manufactured-pop-trash’ criticism? “We’re proud of being put together by an audition. It’s like http://nouse.co.uk/2009/03/10/comic-relief-queen Archived 10 Dec 2018 21:28:22 Nouse Web Archives Comic Relief Queen Page 2 of 3 an intense job interview – thousands of girls went for it, and we got the job. I think with other bands, like indie bands, that sort of thing maybe goes on but people don’t hear about it as much”. PR school no doubt did the girl wonders, but I get the impression she doesn’t give much time to doubters – an admirable attitude in a fickle industry. I think it might be the right time to casually drop in the ‘so when are you going to quit music to marry a premiership footballer question’. Her slightly predictable reply was accompanied by a few screeches of laughter: “Oh, no way! Not at all, I love music way too much. Whoever came along, whatever they did, music is the most important thing in my life”. So where will The Saturdays be a year from now? “Well, we’re recording the second album, but taking it one step at a time”. And in Five years? “World domination. Definitely. To crack America would be amazing.” To boldly go where no girls (Aloud?) have gone before? It’ll be interesting to see where these girls end up. Mollie’s charm is as irresistible as her current rise to fame – whether they last is a different matter. Most Read Discussed 1. Review: Little Mix – LM5 2.

    Judas! from Inside A Prune Hello again folks and welcome to issue 7. Seasons come and seasons go, years pass, decades even; a millennium date change has even happened by and still the not-to-be- called-never-ending-tour, never ending tour rolls by. When this issue hits your door- mats Bob will be mid-European tour. We at Judas! central are off to see two shows in Sweden and participate in the Stockholm convention - and hope to see as many of you there as possible - before the UK tour starts, a set of dates made much more attractive by the later additions of Hammersmith and Brixton. Ah, what memories to be rekindled and hopefully new ones to savour too. Inside these pages we bring you another collection of articles that we trust you will enjoy. Again we have aimed for a balance between well known names and newcomers or relative newcomers. This is something we can only maintain if new writers keep coming forward. There’s a plea elsewhere in these pages for photographs, the same goes for new material. A few out there (you know who you are) have started articles, please keep at them, the more new writing blood in the Dylan fanzine world the better as far as I am concerned. Issue Eight will hopefully feature one or more of these, plus articles by established names. Manuel Vardavas’s bootleg column will be back again (presuming something worthy of discussion is released, that is) and it is quite likely we will be taking an in- depth look at SACD and bootleg DVDs from a ‘technology-and-its-impact-on-your- Dylan-entertainment’ standpoint.

  • All (En)Tangled Up: School Gardens Research in Conversation with Our Human and Non-Human Companions
    ALL (EN)TANGLED UP: SCHOOL GARDENS RESEARCH IN CONVERSATION WITH OUR HUMAN AND NON-HUMAN COMPANIONS by Yu Chyi David Liou B.Sc., The University of British Columbia, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Curriculum Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2017 © Yu Chyi David Liou 2017 1 ABSTRACT This thesis is about listening to the “unacknowledged 'stories' present in all objects that surround us” (Knoespel, 1991, p. 109). It is about listening to the voices of the garden – the academics, children, teachers, parents – and “Hey! Don’t forget about rocks!” (as well as other non-human and more-than-human beings). It is about embracing these voices and the conversations that might crop up between them, however discomforting, encouraging, self-questioning, and world- collapsing they may be. Through cacophonic back-and-forths between these voices, I come across an accidental method/ology (Cole, 2017) for researching school gardens. One that embraces, that becomes through, accidental stumblings and stutterings, unexpected encounters with odd characters, tinkering here and playing there. And in being so, it becomes a way of rejecting academic preferences for anthropocentric and Eurowestern understandings (Martusewicz, Edmunson & Lupinacci, 2011). A methodology that is concerned not with how we as humans can benefit from the garden but how we are part of it, inextricably – if not accidentally – entangled within a messy “web of community obligations” (Apffel-Marglin, 2011, p. 37). A methodology that honours gardening – and working in a school garden – as co-journeying alongside our human, non- human, and more-than-human companions.

The over-arching objective of this writing is to construct the originally written and composed songs by Bob Dylan into a creative framework that will establish and identify his albums as belonging in twelve different, distinct, chronological artistic periods that span the nearly sixty years of his songwriting.
