New mini #cryptic #crossword up, with sample clues below: Reverend's happier as foodie (7) Leaders in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and nearby being contrary? (3)

#THETWEN2IE5 Time for Charli to bring my list to a close. If you have epilepsy, I'd recommend you find an audio-only version of this. If you're a recovering addict, maybe skip it altogether. Okay, okay, okay okay okay. Here we go... Day 50 Charli XCX - 365 From "brat" (2024) UK

#THETWEN2IE5 KKB is an object lesson in making a transition into "serious" music that doesn't feel forced or lose what made you enjoyable originally. Still can't believe this song was on the soundtrack to a FIFA game. Day 49 Kero Kero Bonito - Well Rested From "Civilisation II" (2021) UK(/Japan?)

I published a new #cryptic #crossword today. Sample clues chosen because I like the surface of one, and because I'm not certain that the other isn't asking too much: No big deal, matrons, I foolishly swallowed a copper penny (1,5,2,1,6) No-mark told you to do this! (3,4)

#THETWEN2IE5 I believe King Gizzard's the only act to have multiple picks not available on Spotify. Here's a third! Not exactly the right length to listen to as part of a playlist anyway... Day 48 King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - The Dripping Tap From "Omnium Gatherum" (2022) Australia

#THETWEN2IE5 Phoebe: "AAAAAAAGGGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGH!" Me: "Well, yes, but not in so many words." Seriously, though, even when you're as good a lyricist as Phoebe, screaming is all you can do sometimes. Day 47 Phoebe Bridgers - I Know The End From "Punisher" (2020) USA

#THETWEN2IE5 Okay, so "everything is terrible" is actually going to be a little bit of a theme in this final stretch...technically this song is about an imaginary other world, but the sentiment is there. Day 46 Everything Everything - Cold Reactor From "Mountainhead" (single 2023, album 2024) UK

#THETWEN2IE5 My final bonus goes to Denzel Curry for this track about soldiering onwards despite the fact that everything is terrible. I'm sure most people can relate. Day 45 Denzel Curry - Walkin From "Melt My Eyez See Your Future" (single/album 2022) USA 11 POINTS PLEASE!

#THETWEN2IE5 When I was first alerted to Injury Reserve, I'd say they were a slightly-left-of-centre hip-hop group. In this bleak track, however, it's almot as if you're listening to hip-hop itself dying. RIP Groggs. Day 44 Injury Reserve - Knees From "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" (2021) USA

#THETWEN2IE5 Bruno and Anderson make a amazing partnership. It was a tough call between this and "Leave the Door Open" - I'm not sure what swung it, but the at-times-hilarious video probably didn't hurt. Day 43 Silk Sonic - Smokin Out the Window From "An Evening with Silk Sonic" (2021) USA
