CONTENTS I n this issue our knowledgeable section editors offer their personal recommendations for what to see and do in the coming months. Russell Brand, Andy Warhol, Tim Hecker, Fleetwood Mac and Dr Who are just a few of the diverse names mentioned in our Autumn Highlights feature (page 15). This month also welcomes the 20th year of Glasgay! (see page 26 for our suggestions of the top events) and the release of Jon S Baird’s blistering adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s Filth (see page 60 for our interview with Baird, plus stars James McAvoy and Eddie Marsan). And if the chilly turn in the season has left you in need of a little comfort food, add Lupe Pintos’ Chili Cook-Off (page 28) to your diary – a spicy food crawl that should add some warmth to the lengthening nights.
