Excellent interview with Tori, reflecting on her favorites from her own back catalog, the narrative running through In Times of Dragons, & the current state of things. Love to hear her talk about iieee & Shattering Sea 💖

One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever read on Tori's creative force. That intro alone is worth millions. Well done, Sir!

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

My third time chatting with Tori and probably my favourite of the three. A forever inspiration! ❤️‍🔥

As she kicks off her largest European tour in over a decade ahead of new album In Times of Dragons, Tori Amos talks @neverdoneing.bsky.social through the psychological journeys of five of her best songs

We didn't deserve this day.

My interview with Wendy Eisenberg is now up at @thelineofbestfit.com Read it here: www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/int...

Swedish folk trailblazer Sara Parkman tells @neverdoneing.bsky.social how her new album Aster, atlas binds together the bloom and the burden of devotion

once again, it should be enough that trans people are being harmed without bringing everyone else into it. we are more than canaries in the coalmine, and you should be able to care about our rights even if they don’t affect yrs personally. this is a human rights issue, period

As a way to spread the word about the various Lebanese mutual aids that support all those affected by the ongoing Israeli war and occupation of Lebanon, I thought I'd share a bunch of contemporary Levantine musicians who are popular among my Beirut peeps, a thread 🧵

Never forget Farage called this vile creature ‘an important voice for men’. His pal is accused of multiple rapes and trafficking. Don’t let this reprobate’s party into our Parliament in May. Vote!

A lot of words on a pretty niche thing (intense and slightly bonkers experimental folk in Swedish) but I love Sara Parkman and maybe you will too 🪴 also a good read if you like gardens (IRL and as metaphor)

Honoured to share : Arriving on May 29th, ‘Opvs Novum: A Requiem Reworked’ : a carefully chosen circle of kindred spirits to dismantle ‘A Requiem’. @olirecords.bsky.social ❤️🖤🤍 penelopetrappes.bandcamp.com/album/opvs-n...

Also for Best Fit, I met with Norwegian artist Juni Habel at the National library in Oslo to chat about her new album Evergreen in Your Mind, coming April 10th

I also had the huge joy of chatting favourite songs with extremely lovely Icelandic musician and composer Hildur Guðnadóttir ahead of her @barbican.bsky.social performance on March 21st.

I had the lovely task recently of writing a bio for Isak Danielson and his gorgeous new single, Always You. “It reminds me of one of those romantic movies where two people who’ve broken up do come back around to find each other in the end, like The Notebook or One Day,” he says, “only nobody dies.”

Shabaka guides @jayw1023.bsky.social through the creative pillars behind Of The Earth, his latest solo album and first on which he fully spreads his wings as a producer

I’ve worked at the Southbank Centre for over 8 years now. In that time I’ve become desensitised to mad conversations that wouldn’t happen anywhere else. But in my first few years I noted down ‘overhead’ snippets that would be ridiculous in any other setting. I’ve just found those notes. Strap in.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

"This is the only lullaby my dad ever sang to me that's not about a guy getting drunk and killing his girlfriend" Watch Throwing Muses' Kristin Hersh play "The Cuckoo" for Best Fit's secret sessions at @endoftheroadfestival.com.

I still get the odd ‘it’s alright for you living in a lefty paradise’ comment from British friends, so I thought I’d draw attention to the current Swedish policy of deporting an unknown number of children born here even when parents have right to remain. www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/born...

No Lube So Rude out on Friday from the one and only Peaches. If this was a review, I'd give the record 8 out of 10 fruits, but it's not so please enjoy us just chatting instead www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/int...

"Turkish makam, the compositional 'building blocks' developed over centuries by classical and folk musicians during the Ottoman Empire, has always been at odds with Western music theory. [It's] finally getting its due in the electronic music world …" Bringing Turkish Makam to Electronic Music:

We’re not running out of good ideas, but the tech fetishists who have no ideas other than “but I put a lot of money and emotion into this basket” always do, and their narcissism does not allow them to consider that their failed ideas suck, and the flop sweat is palpable.

A final shoutout of my book for last-minute shoppers… It’s ideal for any music fan this christmas and remains the only major book to dive deep into music post-2010, from Earl Sweatshirt to FKA twigs, from SOPHIE to Oneohtrix Point Never, from Charli XCX to Danny Brown. Link below to grab a copy x

This is fucking awful and as they are reenacting a toxic workplace with no health and safety, appropriate

a reminder I guess

In a very unexpected turn of events, I spent an hour on Friday chatting with Anthony and Victoria about our AOTY and… I don’t hate how it turned out. Talking on camera is v much out of my comfort zone 🫣
