TMC Podcast Three : No bitches, no guns.

by Fairy Cake

Most mainstream rap is a little too misogynistic/materialistic/racist/violent for our liking.  Here is some beautiful, danceable, mostly-alternative hip hop you can bump, distinctly lacking in bling and bitches.

Music Video Monday… Sonic Youth – Bull in the Heather

by Devil’s Food Cake

Have I expressed my deep and undying love for Kathleen Hanna before? If I haven’t, well, consider this a declaration. Because she is amazing and awesome and downright adorable. All of which came rushing back to me when this song popped up on my iPod the other day. … Continue Reading

Music Video Monday… Moloko – Familiar Feeling

by Devil’s Food Cake

In between work stuff, book stuff and figuring out whether or not I’d like to risk getting arrested going to a Malaysian Pride event (answer: I do not), I’ve really been missing the gay in my life. Fortunately, a girl can always turn to her friends or TV for a bit of a mood lift, and for everything else, there’s Youtube. … Continue Reading

Music Video Monday… Neneh Cherry – Buffalo Stance

by Devil’s Food Cake

So usually I go with a Disney villain theme for my Hallowe’en costume, but given that this year has been a big bunch of changes in everything else I’ve done, I thought I’d mix it up and go with a 90′s icon for a change. Plus, Neneh Cherry is a badass. And totally hot.

In April, Kreayshawn put a rap song about fashion on the internet and it got her 17 million views on Youtube and a $1million record deal.

Music Video Monday : PJ Harvey (before the new album)

by Fairy Cake

I’m just going to put this out there.  As long-term admirer of Polly Jean Harvey‘s truly outstanding contribution to music, her new record, Let England Shake, has left me a bit nonplussed.  Music journalists are falling over themselves to praise it, and it’s just won her a second Mercury prize … but, am I the only one who thinks it’s just … alright?

Music Video Monday: multiple merkins…

by Lemon Tart

This song by Amanda Palmer & The Young Punx came out in January. So we’re a bit late off the mark.

Music Video Monday… Paula Cole – Where Have All The Cowboys Gone

by Devil’s Food Cake

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

TMC Interview: Queer star child Julie Ann of Sea of Bees talks fitting in, music and falling in love with a girl eating an apple

by Theresa Heath

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

Music Video Monday… songs about touching yourself.

by Devil’s Food Cake

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
