» 1. We all know that being a musician can be tough, especially for indie artists who don't have a giant music label to back them up. Show your support for the artists responsible for your favourite songs at the Long Khan Music Festival, a pay-what-you-want event where every bit of money goes toward the performing artists. Aside from purchasing CDs and merchandise, you can also show your appreciation directly by putting money in each artist's khan (or water bowl), so that they may continue to rock your world in future.

» 1. Jam Ciné Club is back for November under the theme "Dystopia", with a focus on sci-fi films from the 60s and 70s with disturbing relevance today. This Wednesday, the film to be screened is Logan's Run (1976). Set in the year 2274, the film focuses on an idyllic sci-fi future where everyone is made to believe that life ends at the age of 30. As is true of all sci-fi dystopias, however, things aren't always as they seem, causing various members of society to flee from the utopia upon turning 30. Logan, a law enforcement officer, goes undercover to expose the hideout of these "runners", only to find himself a champion of their cause. Screenings start at 8pm, and is free for anyone interested.

» Trent Kusters was playing Red Dead Redemption when he came upon a moment that he will never forget. In the 2010 adventure game (released for the PS3 and Xbox360), a group of abominable snowmen have been abducting and eating children, much to the horror of the locals. So when he came across one in the vast wild-west setting of the game, Kusters knew exactly what to do.

» As any honest Thai person can tell you, Bangkok is a city of dualities. Walk down one street and you'll find the most serene parks, bombastic high-rises and venerable temples. Turn down the wrong soi, however, and you're suddenly in a seedy alleyway filled with drugs, alcohol and questionable "massage parlours".
