‘Lionesses hear the roar’: 65,000 England fans celebrate Euros win in London Victorious players greeted by chants, cheers and tears as they ride open-top bus and then lift the trophy on stage

I'm not usually very patriotic. As a dual national I'm neither fish nor fowl, but this does make feel proud to be English. Not the sporting achievement, which has little to do with Englishness, but instead the wholesomeness of the support for this fantastic team www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I'm also digging the trend for shorter albums after years of bloat. In & out in sub 32 mins, Precipice leaves you wanting more. And bollocks to playlists, nothing beats an album for creating a world that you inhabit while its playing, each song doing its part in creating that experience. #music

Precipice Indigo De Souza · Album · 2025 · 11 songs

Happy #NewMusic Friday! Trying not to get too overwhelmed by Indigo da Souza's Precipice. ADORE her last 2 (both AOTY level for me) so was nervous after not vibing with the singles. In the context of the album tho, they really work. 🔥🔥🔥so much emotion 💔🥹😭🥲 open.spotify.com/album/7vVrYk...

My teenage son said I should listen to Alex G. So I am listening to Alex G. I think I might be too old for Alex G as I think the G in Alex G might stand for "Guff". I am also unable to accept the non-consensual sax within his songs. I feel very aged rn. #music #NowPlaying

New-School Jungle Sounds a Lot Like Old-School Jungle—And Many of Its Most Celebrated Figures Aren’t Exactly “New” Either Electronic music has been actively hyping jungle’s “new generation” for the better part of a decade, but that narrative doesn’t always line up with the facts on the ground.

This is an actually good and accurate article about #jungle by Shawn Reynaldo - one of just a handful I have ever read in 30+ years of loving this music www.ninaprotocol.com/articles/new...

13 Reasons Why I Can't Pick My 13 Favourite Records, By Drew Daniel | The Quietus A few weeks ago, I was asked to write a Baker’s Dozen for the Quietus, a breezy exercise in which I would pick my 13 favourite recordings, write a short paragraph about each one and, voila, the job wo...

This is one of the most preposterously pretentious articles ever to be found on a #music site and yet I can't argue with much of it really thequietus.com/interviews/b...

Considering how horrific most current releases from the 90s jungle OGs tend to be, the fact that I don't hate it is a major surprise. It does have a couple of very skippable missteps that veer more towards the modern foghorn sound but the more atmospheric tunes are actually pretty nice.

Alpha Omega Rufige Kru · Album · 2025 · 12 songs

I don't usually accept #DnB but the new Rufige Kru (a #Goldie alias responsible for some early 90s bangers) is surprisingly solid and (mostly) doesn't suffer from the relentless boom-tish drum work that makes the genre so often unlistenable open.spotify.com/album/4Rqkoy... #NewMusic #spotify

So I'm experimenting with YT Shorts aboutt #VPN, which are much harder to do than they look! This is the last of my first batch that I filmed in one day. I think I did ok for a first try but I'm keen to have another crack and step it up. Any feedback appreciated 🙏 www.youtube.com/shorts/LBXDo...

Another browser extension ownership change gone wrong. The owner of "Browser Boost Extra Tools For Chrome" sold the extension and transferred it late January. Didn't take long for it to go bad for 30,000 users. The new code redirected users dynamically to whatever pages the new owner chose.

The guitars are super swirly, full of twinkling melodies, ebbing and flowing but I'm just as taken by the vocals that remind me of Brett Anderson on Suede's later records and also James' Tim Booth. I'm surprised they didn't make it much bigger than they did.

The Death Of Cool Kitchens Of Distinction · Album · 1992 · 10 songs

Tripla Miki Berenyi Trio · Album · 2025 · 9 songs

My #AOTW is the new Miki Berenyi Trio record, a lovely continuation from those early Lush records. Swirling and melodious guitars, twinkly synths, gorgeously ethereal vocals with a bit of bite to them, and laidback groovy beats. I hope it blows up! open.spotify.com/album/6mp7bE... #NewMusic #Music

Premature Evaluation: Deafheaven 'Lonely People With Power' We’ve been here before, but let’s go back. Could we just go back? To “Mombasa,” I mean. The last minutes of “Mombasa,” the last song on Deafheaven’s last album, 2021’s Infinite Granite.

Here's me talking about #VPN regulation in India and Pakistan (spoiler: I am not a fan)

They were an all-girl #punk band out of Brisbane in the early 00s. No idea how I know about them, having never been to Brizzie. Maybe I heard them on Triple J when I lived in Sydney? Whatever, they're brilliantly scuzzy punk with hooks for days, drawing from the same pool as Amyl & The Sniffers

I wish Gazoonga Attack would reissue their truly wonderful EP, Your Girlfriend is Shit and their only album, Sex Nerd. They aren't on streaming, while the CDs were self-released in small numbers. Their music almost impossible to find even via file-sharing. Such a shame, it's so good! #punk #music

Continuing my theme of Aussie #punk, today I am diving into Hard Ons, who are now fronted by Tim Rogers of You Am I, which I can't quite get my head around. Pretty good stuff and streets ahead of what they were doing in the 80s #NowPlaying #music

More of this please!
