The Bank Robbery

by Indieoma
Rocks-pebbles-lg_commentary “Paulito,” Esteban used to declare in English, leaning on his shovel, closing his eyes and smiling dreamily at the white sun, “if you ain’t got money, you ain’t got the honey.” And as usual, his bellowing laugh pursued. Esteban loved the rhyme of this aphorism, but more so he felt it was life’s most fundamentals truths. For Esteban, money, women, and beer were the three pillars of happiness. Money, of course, being the most primordial of the three. He was a large black Ecuadorian, with an oily

Apocalypse Wow!

by Indieoma
01030037_commentary 2012 is just around the corner. It’s the end of the World as we know it, and I feel sceptical. This wouldn’t be the first time in the last, uh, 10 years that people have been sure as dammit that the apocalyptic sh*t is about to hit the fan. It didn’t come off in 2000, it probably won’t in 2012. Karim, Farryl and Ric give us their takes on imminent, and not so imminent obliteration. Fingers and toes crossed!

Family Histories

Fiction Edition

by Indieoma
Victoria_family_tree_1901_commentary Between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Indieoma brings you a sometimes offbeat, sometimes unsettling, and always surprising portrait of the secrets families hold with our Family Histories fiction offering. Indieoma introduces two new writers with this edition. Dann starts us off with a man’s account of his grandmother’s unusual home. Later we have Racine and the first installment of our new partnership with Penelope, as she introduces her her barbarian love interest. Long-time contributors K

National Veil

Four Short Stories

by Indieoma
_commentary Close your eyes. Will you choose to speak or to see? To be invisible or not? Indieoma presents its first fiction edition through the National Veil. Karim begs the stares of Parisians as a man in a burqa while new writer Linda finds the truth in Silicon Valley. Farryl shows a mother’s last attempt to be seen, and Kathleen gives a girl the impossible choice: her eyes or her tongue. National convictions can blind us. Through which eyes will you choose to see?

by Indieoma
Sartorial_commentary Looking at Mikey Georgseon’s “No Title – Let’s Wrestle”, a series of paintings made from a film of his sons wresting at home, I am reminded of a tale a told to me by a friend while we were at school. His dad had taken him to see the Saturday afternoon wrestling somewhere in Birkenhead. It would have been the early 1980’s, back in the days of Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and the ever terrifying Kendo Nagasaki. I only remember two things about his account of the visit, the first being a des

Stop Disconnection Demo - 24th March 2010

Open_rights_group_commentary From The Open Rights Group: “It’s time to show MPs what we think about the Digital Economy Bill. As it stands now, the Bill, if passed into law, will allow disconnection, web blocking and could well see the death of open wifi. Come along to the ORG demo on Wednesday, 24 March at 17:30, and protest against disconnection and censorship on the internet. We’ll provide placards, just bring some black tape for gagging or blindfolding yourself. Disconnection is collective punishment.

Hispanic Heritage Month

by Indieoma
Hispanic_commentary Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15th to October 15 every year. It was originally intended to recognise the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the USA and to celebrate Hispanic heritage and culture but in recent years it has turned into a huge event which is increasingly sold to corporate sponsors. This week Indieoma’s Latin correspondent has put together two commentaries which argue that it is not as positive as it may seem.

Food for Thought

What ARE We Eating?

by Indieoma
Food_for_thought2_commentary It turns out that a lot of us like our food just like our music, film and art – fresh, engaging and authentic. But there’s a growing awareness of the chasm between what we should eat what’s available to eat. Too much of what’s easy to buy has none of the freshness and authenticity we crave. At the risk of preaching to the choir, it’s time to think about what we’re doing about one of life’s necessities. We’ve gone too long letting people with vested

Where Art Thou

A Guide to Art in the City

by Indieoma
Jaako1_commentary Cities work on so many levels. Ever party to the chance personal encounter, the urban area also brings together materials and people in unusual ways. Sometimes these encounters, though often created out of happenstance, take on their own life. Groups form, trends are set. What starts as a lone fumble becomes a group exercise. Art is born, and feeds back into the circle of chance events, with hybrid forms arising from further encounters. We give you art and the city.

Commitment. Connection. That thing that we humans need, or think we need, or have been convinced we need. Thankfully we’re not so cynical that we don’t appreciate the intoxicating complexity that a connection to another human being creates.

Paintitblack_commentary 1969 was the year that saw the counterculture expose the rotten core at its centre both in the States with the Manson murders and in swinging England with the unfortunate demise of Brian Jones, the founder of The Rolling Stones. Though by the time of his death, Jones and the Stones were worlds apart and incompatible, it’s hard to believe that only 5 years previous Jones had not only brought together and managed the Stones but that his guitars weaving in and around those of Keith Richards would d

Coffee-cup_commentary Ah, the hypocrisy of modern life. Drugs are bad, unless you’re addicted to something manageable – like caffeine. This has all, finally, given us a vision for the value of Starbucks. It’s the model for legalizing marijuana – look at how much people are willing to pay for a caffeine fix (and they still semi-function in the real world). And look all the tax dollars!!
