Listen – TSHA ft Gabrielle Aplin – Change
One of the perks of my job is that I get to hear great new music from some amazing labels. Earlier this week I received a mailout from one of my favourite labels* Ninja Tune. It’s the home Bonobo, Maribou State & Mr Scruff, all artists that I love. This year it’s brought us great […]

Listen – AC/DC – Shot in the Dark
Let’s be honest, 2020 hasn’t been the best year, so when social media posts started to tease the return of AC/DC, things started to look up a little bit. A couple of days after the first posts, it was here. The first brand new song from the band since 2014’s Rock or Bust album. Brian […]

Watch – Joe Turner – Retina (Live)
‘There’s no good new music around these days’ they say. ‘No one has any talent any more, it’s all manufactured rubbish’ they say. Well I say – you just need to look a little deeper. There’s tons of great new music around. And most of it just doesn’t get picked up by the mainstream radio […]

Listen – London Grammar – Baby It’s You
I’ve been a fan of London Grammar for a very long time. I first heard them when they released their Metal & Dust ep in 2013 and loved the sound they made. It was beautiful. Since then, I’ve seen them in concert twice, and bought both their albums, 2013’s If You Wait which I thought […]

Listen – The Interrupters – Bad Guy
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 […]

Listen – Porij -150
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 […]

Lockdown 2020
Let’s start with a little bit of background information…. At the start of 2020, if someone had said ‘lockdown’, ‘social distancing’, ‘the R rate’, ‘let’s have a Zoom meeting’ or ‘Coronavirus’ I think most people would get funny looks. Now, of course, these words are part of the ‘new normal’ – that’s another for you […]

Listen – Ozzy Osbourne feat Elton John – Ordinary Man
Yes, the headline is correct – the new Ozzy Osbourne song features Sir Elton John! And, speaking as a Ozzy fan for nearly 40 years, it is one of the best songs he’s recorded. It’s like a cross between a Beatles track and Guns N Roses’ 1990s epic November Rain. That might have something to […]

Listen: Ozzy Osbourne – Under The Graveyard
First things first, I’m a huge fan of Ozzy Osbourne. Have been since hearing Bark at the Moon on Radio 1’s Roundtable back in 1983. Since then every album has been purchased, many magazine articles have been read, too many videos of songs & interviews have been watched and although I’ve seen him with Black […]
