Whilst Clare is busy revamping the website (more details to follow shortly), we try to figure out what Counterculture means for Clare/LSE/you/us. Submissions deadline is looming ahead (11/11/11) and I’m still scratching my head in confusion.
On second thought, Friday 11th is still a long way away.
I’ll use Bukowski’s bitterness as food for thought.

Our very own Special Projects editor Annalise brings you a new politically inclined read on the run-up to the UK’s General Election. Fear and Loathing in Westminster promises an ‘independent and impartial’ perspective on the inevitable political storm. Have a look and see what fellow LSE’ers have to say about our upcoming election!
In a cramped kitchen in Brooklyn, two twenty-something entrepreneurs are making the best of the recession. On October 2nd, 2009, Allie Schwartz and Daniel Schloss launched the web-based cooking show, “Economy Bites,” at www.economybites.tv. Aimed at recent college graduates with little cooking know-how and even less disposable income, “Economy Bites” teaches a generation struggling in a bad job market how to cook easy, tasty and economical dishes that they can make on the weekend and keep eating or re-purpose throughout the week.
Submitted by Clare’s editor Katie, this handy website is great for the poor student in all of us. Even the painfully middle-class folk. I’m aiming to try a few of these recipes during exam season, will post back with the results!
In this little gem, Lauren Leto tries to tell you what stereotype you are based off your favorite author. She is sometimes charmingly accurate. Others a bit more off-base.
Charles Dickens
Ninth graders who think they’re going to be authors someday but end up in marketing.
This is painfully accuate. I was a 14 year old clutching a copy of “A Tale of Two Cities”… my first internship in New York was in PR. Go figures…
Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland… Kicked some box office ass this weekend. $116 million in the US alone. Clive get back to you after we’ve seen it. I love all of the elements in theory (Burton, CS Lewis, Depp, A Retelling, ALAN RICKMAN?!) but as a sum of its parts… could fall short?

Social Anthropology has been telling me that nothing exists outside of culture. There is so such thing as a vacuous realm free from the bounds of our own social conditioning - even empirical science. Most definitely frustrating, but almost certainly helpful when arguing over a few pints. All comes down to relativism. Check out how mental illness has been ‘bastardized’ and exported by the Americans.

Come on down to E168 and participate to what will be one of the most challenging, imaginative, invigorating, artsy, Photoshoppy, copy-edity, Ziney (that’s a lot of superlatives) days of the term !
Or if the demands of an LSE library confine you to the library or other like-minded, unmagical place, follow us here on Clive! with live updates throughout the day!
Lots of love and let’s get rolling,
Clare, Clive!, Clare +
Delphic - Doubt
I will humbly admit that I am championing Delphic for great things this year. It seems the music press agree with me, see here or here or here. This is their latest video, I wouldn’t want to give a flowing description of it, that would detract from watching/listening time! Simply put:
Futuristic
Biomechanical
Minimalist
The single is out now, album Acolyte out on January 11th.

This clock does not actually have a man inside but a flatscreen that plays a 24 hour loop of this video by the artist watching his own clock somewhere and painstakingly erasing and re-writing each minute. This video was taken at Design Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach 2009.
Welcome to CLIVE! The little brother of the LSE SU’s Student Journal CLARE MARKET REVIEW on the web. Here you’ll find a smorgasbord of things to see, touch, smell, ponder, debate, laugh and cry about. The most important element of our little niche here is YOU! YOU! YOU! We want your SUBMISSIONS and comments on absolutely anything you, as an LSE student or friend, think will tickle your fancy! This is a work in progress. In the next few weeks you will see a stupendous social calendar launch featuring some of the swankiest, most obscure things to do in our little city of London. The site will be updated daily with submissions from myself, CLIVE! and people like YOU! Please EMAIL me with any thoughts, love poems, or rants.
Looking forward to our relationship,
Clive!
