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
Oh Beth Ditto, you make my heart stop with your awesomeness. You’re one of the few people in the world I can safely say I would kind of like to be. And now you’ve only gone and released your very own EP, on your very own. And I love it. Your voice, is, as always, ethereal. The song is, as expected, great. And the video is so fun. … Continue Reading
Welcome to women in hip-hop week at TMC! Let me just say, when Fairy Cake suggested this last week, I nearly screamed with joy. We all know that it’s a far too common fact that women in the genre get forgotten or passed over, more often than not for men who do half the job. So consider this a sort of celebration of some awesome, totally under-appreciated women in hip-hop. … Continue Reading
For this week’s MVM I’ve decided to treat you to a triple whammy of female songstress joy.Why you ask? Well why the hell not! I mean honestly I just couldn’t resist. Say what you like about these ladies but you can’t deny that they can sing. … Continue Reading
Ever watched a music video and thought that you could do better? Or listened to a song and had a really vivid image of how you’d do the video?
I have. I’m totally obsessed with music videos – this is probably why MVMs are one of my favourite things EVAR and why taking me anywhere near G-A-Y bar on a date is a really bad idea – I just stare at the screens the WHOLE TIME. Anyway I was digging through some old files on my computer … Continue Reading
This song and video kind of missed me when it was released way back when in 2008. But listen, T.I. is a genius, and anyone who covers him has to be either totally insane or totally genius. I’d put this song, and its video, firmly in the latter category. … Continue Reading

It’s Monday and it’s grey outside. So grey in fact that the sky could almost be a blueprint for a nineties Homebase wall colour. … Continue Reading

I’ve already tweeted this.
But you know what: I’m eating my lunch, and noshing on this again too and thinking it probably deserves a post all of its own. … Continue Reading

Just a quick one – the interweb’s been all aflutter at the release of Willow Smith’s new video for her song ‘Whip My Hair’, with certain delusionals claiming that the young Smith sprog is not only after Rihanna’s crown, but has, in fact, already snatched it and is sitting pretty on that throne. … Continue Reading
I have fought long and hard to maintain my irrational dislike of house music, but it’s been a losing battle for quite some time now. The newest effort from Duck Sauce has finally broken down the last of my barriers, and though it’s hard for me to admit, I’m hooked. A better part of my weekend was spent trying to get the ‘ooh-oohs’ out of my head, and, to be fair, kudos must be given to anyone who can formulate a song out of the name of a Jewish princess superstar. … Continue Reading
It’s widely accepted that, when it comes to most things, the original is the best. Fame, The Karate Kid, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? – though copies and subsequent versions have been made of many things, the originals often are, in fact, the best.
Not always though. … Continue Reading

Just a quick one. Call me superficial-i-docious, but I just love the threads. Enjoy this gem of an oldie… … Continue Reading
