So my best friend is here from New York/Malaysia and I am super glad to have her here, not least because she reminds me of all the things about my late teens/childhood that I adored. It’s great. So here’s to good friends and remembering your younger years with fondness. … Continue Reading

The Grates are great. And that is probably not the first time someone has written that.

The first time I see Julie Ann Bee, aka Sea of Bees, is at the Dalston Roof Park when my friend points to a tall hipster in a brown tank-top saying, ‘Look at that really cool boy.’ That really cool boy then takes to the stage, picks up a guitar, and plays some of the quirkiest and emotive nu-folk rock I’ve ever heard. I just might be in love. … Continue Reading
Like, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it obviously isn’t. But I find myself listening to a song, liking it, figuring out the words and singing along, and then all of a sudden, I sound like the office pervert. … Continue Reading

I could pretend that when I was a spotty teenager all my crushes were uber-cool indie singers that you’d only have heard of if you bought NME every week. I could also pretend I was cool. NOT TRUE. … Continue Reading

Let’s get one thing straight. I’m quite happy for anyone to shit on Chris Brown. Not only is he a supremely poor ‘musician’ putting out the worst kind of copycat, auto-tuned bilge, but he beat up on Rihanna. So yeah, fuck him.

This is probably an overshare. About two years ago, I’d broken up with the absolute love of my life and everything sort of meshed over. It always felt like I was seeing things through a thin film of smoke, and hearing things through cotton wool. It stuck around for months. The only way I could describe it at the time was that I felt like I was sat in a movie theatre that was playing my life quietly on a screen very far away.
You know what’s on this weekend in London Town? LOVEBOX. I’m excited. Mostly because of this lady. … Continue Reading

OH HIYA. Dressed like something plucked out of Goldsmiths and sounding like Nicki Minaj and a whole lot of attitude is Oakland native Kreayshawn. If I knew more what “hyphy” meant, I’d probably say she was that. Good lines in her track Gucci Gucci include “I got the swag and it’s pumping out my ovaries”.
Hey she’s also bisexual. Or post-gay. Or something. AfterEllen said so. You will not regret watching this. … Continue Reading

They may be the fourth best girl pop band of all time (after the Spice Girls, Girls Aloud and short lived – but amazing – girlband trio Girls Can’t Catch), but the news that The Saturdays like a bit of lez in their life had me (and countless other gayers) praising the good Lord Sandy Toksvig and almost weeping for joy. Almost. … Continue Reading
You know who I really, really 100% love and adore? You’ve probably already guessed from the title of this MVM, but yeah, it’s Kim Deal. Because, um, she’s awesome. And wrote amazing songs. And is still one of the super-coolest women in the world. … Continue Reading

I promise we’re not getting paid to write about gingers. Or Nicola Roberts.
