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, […]

These Are The Best Songs Of The Decade All Other Lists Are Fraudulent
Listen, 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 […]

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 this is very much a list of favourites, though the #1 spot is also the best, don’t get […]

Listen, if my sleep wasn’t all over the fucking place the last six weeks I would have really gone in on the end of year content, but as it stands I am like… drained of brainpower and motivation and all I do is periodically notice that my jaw is clenched and try to relax it. So […]

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? […]

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 […]

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 […]

Good morning from me, the Scary Spice meeter. Did you know I met Scary Spice yesterday? That of all the people waiting to be blessed with her presence, after the random studio person said “LAST ONE WE HAVE TO GO”, she looked directly at lil ol’ me and said “no we can do one more”, […]
