more than just music
Greenland is the new Amazon Prime movie starring Gerard Butler. If you have seen any of his recent movies – Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen and Angel Has Fallen – you know what you are going to get.

While some music memoirs try to glamourize the stories, Sing Backwards & Weep by Mark Lanegan does the exact opposite. I first became aware of Mark when his band The Screaming Trees released the single Nearly Lost You in 1992. By then, the band were already on their sixth album. I picked up the single […]

I’ve been a fan of Little Dragon for a few years and this new track The Other Lover featuring Moses Sumney is great. The voices of Yukimi Nagano & Moses Sumney blend beautifully, while the music is just brilliant. The brass elements are very similar to Submotion Orchestra. Love it.

As far as I’m concerned, if you’re going to do a cover version of a well known song, make it different. And that is exactly what The Interrupters have done brilliantly with their version of Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy from last year. It was one of the many, many songs that I discovered during Lockdown […]

I’ve been listening to BBC 6 Music alot over the last few months and discovering lots of new music, a job which I think is still mportant with regards to radio. I’m much happier getting recommedations from someone like Ravers, Lammo, Gilles or Mary Anne Hobbs than an algorithm. Anyway, one of the best tracks […]
