Rema is referred to as a runaway and the next obvious superstar of African music, and with the latter, that could very well be true if they aren’t already.

Hard Feelings, we think, is Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Amy Doublas. We’d check, but we have to check everything at the minute and it’s tiring. You can just watch the video below, wish it was Friday night already, and then do your own research for once. This is called ‘Dangerous’ and is a remix…

Just because you’ve grown a little weary of one type of thing doesn’t make it automatically bad.

So with that, thank god for ‘Nasty Dancer’ by…

The YouTube ‘My Analog Journal’ is a goldmine for great music tip-offs, with a host of guest DJs simply putting ace records on in a number of lovely looking rooms on some nice kit. It’s a simple premise and all the better for it. There’s no Kids TV presenter gubbins that litters so much of…

Nick Cave has chimed in about songs getting banned, and honestly, he’s talking like someone down the pub without any hysteria or nonsense and it’s nice to hear. As an aside – he’s wearing a lot of theatre cake at the minute isn’t he? It’s making him look like someone’s wearing a Nick Cave rubber…
