Ah, right down to the wire and out of time for doing my end of year rankings, just like always! I was actually completely on schedule until a deadline being pulled forward and a random afternoon of drinking derailed my carefully laid plans, so there’s no album write ups this year (honestly, I was lukewarm […]
Read more "30 Songs & 20 Albums I Banged In 2022"Have you ever cried when a celebrity died? This is my third time. I cried when Prince, died in 2016. I cried when Cicely Tyson died in 2020. And I cried today, when I watched this clip of Sarah Harding singing her heart out and I realised that I had somehow, despite all reported evidence, […]
Read moreListen, I’ve seen some of y’alls lil lists and they’re fine… but they’re not my list. Definitively, without question, these are the best 100 songs of the decade – every single one is infinitely listenable, a credit to the medium, and will sound just as excellent in 10, 20, 30 years time if climate change […]
Read more "These Are The Best Songs Of The Decade All Other Lists Are Fraudulent"Albums I find to be a trickier ranking than songs, because often “best” is not always “favourite” and there are certainly records in here that are objectively better than others but I didn’t necessarily love them more.

So […]

Read more "Pusha T got Lauryn Hill on a track and I’m not crying, you are…"Honestly, the state of NMF UK today. How is a YONAKA cover of Taylor Swift sitting in second place on the playlist while Normani – trending worldwide still, the only artist everyone is talking about right now – is languishing at #12? Very embarrassing. And I like YONAKA, don’t get me wrong, but… this ranking? […]
Read more "A little Motivation…"Before I get into some of the songs from the lower reaches of this week’s NMF, I just want to confess something and issue a retraction. Firstly, I have never ever lied on this blog before. Even if I have sometimes changed my mind later down the line, whenever I write in the moment it […]
Read more "Face to face with some great songs you may have missed…"This week is the first week in a long while where I’ve had time to get myself back into some semblance of a routine, look after myself, eat proper dinner, fall asleep after my nightly routine and not before. Then yesterday I had a really great, creative day with my partner-in-crime and… whew, my future! Lately […]
