I’ve written before about Nneka, and I guess the appreciation has never worn down. The first time I heard anything by her was at this tiny gig she played in Brighton. I’d had the shittiest week, so I took the train down to see a friend who dragged me along despite my misgivings. “Come”, she said, “you’ll like her”. She was right. … Continue Reading

MIA is my hero. Say what you will about her politics – many people have, and that really is an interesting conversation – but musically, she’s magic. Bad Girls, which you might have heard in less complete form as part of the Vicki Leekx mixtape, is so uber-awesome I’ve had it on repeat all weekend and most of today. … Continue Reading

It’s been a really long week, and THAT has come after a really long month. So at the moment, I’m just finding my happy in the little things: Ikea deliveries, a good day at the office and, oh, Alexis Krauss making my heart beat faster in the new Sleigh Bells video. … Continue Reading
I am obsessed with these songs, and with this woman’s hair. I can’t help it. Bonus: you get two videos today because I’m indecisive and couldn’t decide between the two. … Continue Reading
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
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
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.

A video of Rihanna sitting in a chair humming would probably make it into our music video Monday. That’s how we feel about her here. … Continue Reading
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
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

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
