What I miss most about the bird site is the wider range of people I followed on there, esp. within music/culture. So: I’m looking for people to follow within #Music, particularly #ElectronicMusic but also journalists (#MusicWriter)++. So far I have @bassclef, @jamesholden, @nedraggett, @lexciya, @emperorx, @mountain_goats, @renick, @roberthenke, @Skeemask, @yaxu, @patriciawolf_music, @hyyyyl & @beemask, but I’d love to have more! This reminds me of #FollowFriday, so… #FollowSaturday?

40 songs reinterpreted in the most compelling way - why the new album from U2 is so much more than just an unplugged greatest hits package.

🎧 🇿🇦 SA #rapper #dancer #musicwriter #CostaTitch collapsed on stage and died at the #UltraSouthAfrica Festival on the weekend.
Costa aka "Mr. Big Flexa" aka Constantinos Tsobanoglou was 28. Last Summer, his music and videos introduced (hooked) me on #amapiano music / culture coming out of South Africa.
Kid came from nothing and was just getting some recognition. RIP.
This clip is how I met #CostaTitch. Made in Soweto with many collaborators. https://youtu.be/8g0v2SDe6MU

I had the pleasure of interviewing the wonderful Shania Twain for Clash Magazine recently. We talked about her fantastic new album ‘Queen of Me’, body confidence and why you just need to put some ‘up’ in your giddy!

I wrote a piece on the fantastic SAM SMITH for Clash Magazine on their new album ‘Gloria’ which is a real powerhouse of a record.
It is truly a ‘decadent, dance-fuelled and defiant’ collection of work that not only showcases their impressive vocal versatility and musical prowess, but also an edgier and more playful side to both their personality and music.

New album review klaxon! I wrote a review for Clash Magazine on the new album from We Are Scientists.
The Californian duo deliver carefree thrills on new album 'Lobes' which is more expansive and sonically a bit darker than their last album.
