I've reviewed the new Melaina Kol album, where math rock, folk, pop and Balearic meet – or at least nod at one another from across the room.

Anyone got any nutritious, easy recipe suggestions for a cuisinally inexperienced 18-year-old who's been at university for a couple of weeks but appears to have been too embarrassed to cook in front of her flatmates?

Caught some of the VMAs tribute and have to say Sombr, Adam Lambert and Teddy Swims did a sterling job reminding us what a great singer George Michael was.

Arguably the greatest UK top 70 single based on a gospel-infused jazz funk record by avant garde saxophonist Archie Shepp which was inspired by a prison riot in upstate New York which resulted in 43 deaths including 10 correctional officers, 9 of whom were killed by their own colleagues

Very gingerly dipping a toe into the stagnant pond of The Discourse I think it’s obviously fine to not hear popular songs but my reaction to learning “a song I don’t know has broken loads of popularity records“ is “oh I should hear it, maybe I’ll like it”, why would it not be that?

Accidentally happened across a Friends episodes starring both Tom Selleck and Elliott Gould, and that's way more ham than anyone can be expected to eat.

I find it strange that some people refuse to believe this is the way our decentralised culture works now, that it's possible to be completely ignorant of hugely popular things that don't match your tastes and interests. People aren't lying about that because they think it makes them look cool.
This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.

If you're googling something you've heard of it, or you wouldn't be googling it because you wouldn't be aware of the juxtaposition of words to type. So, at the point of declaration, you can't be blamed for not having heard of it as you haven't had a chance to google it yet (Aristotle, 331 BC).

Seeing a lot of "I actually like this one". Sting has made loads of great records. His being a nob doesn't change that. Maybe enhances it. #notTOTP

Three from that countdown on the comp. And probably a couple of songs too obscure even for this. B B & Q? Can't remember at all. #TOTP
Here's the new 1986 edition. Includes forgotten bangers too, of course, and the revelation that Sigur Rós nicked Hoppípolla from the intro to Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam with Full Force's terrible All Cried Out.

Didn't watch any matches or hear any football news last night, and still I dreamt Kai Havertz got injured. This is on me. Sorry, friends.

I already drink beer on the terraces. Seventh tier football FTW. As a season ticket holder I also have it in a branded hard plastic glass from the special bar that charges a quid for the pleasure, which you can claim back if you return it, but they pull the shutters down on 85 mins.
