We’re halfway through 2023 and critics are slouching towards their Best Records Of The Year So Far lists. They’re rarely happy about it. If dicing releases every 12 months is arbitrary, then six months is labor on a factory line, wood chips for the content mill. But this year, I feel like they hate these lists more than usual. They’re having a hard time picking much. And maybe you are, too. P...

  At the close of 2022, Bitcoin wasn’t just down—it was so down that its precipitous fall was breaking records. One report from Bank of America suggested that the collapse in value was the fifth-worst for any asset in financial history. Despite steady gains this year, it hasn’t even come close to its November 2021 peak, and now things are about to get shaken up like a bead in a baby’s rattle w...

In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”  In Sig...

You hurt me  more than words can speak You shattered my heart In more peices that youll ever see You told me i would fly Then you threw me out of the sky I loved the sound of your gorgeous lies I was so consumed by the pretty words from your mouth I didn't see the knife A dagger  Pointed at my heart Look in my eyes  Your Synister eyes kept me captive I didn't have time to react You stabbed me I...

The ‘Ode’, one of the most popular poetic verses, has its origins in Ancient Greece. The generic term ‘ode’ is derived from the Greek word ‘oide’ which referred to any poem that was to be formed into a song and sung in public. M.H Abrams defines the ode as “A long lyric poem that is serious in subject and treatment, elevated in style, and elaborate in its stanzaic structure.” The steady rhythmi...

It is about the Turkish custom of the heart of a person and there is a spot a black spot at birth from in the womb where our soul our essence starts and where the purest of love resides it will stay with you and is there to the end when you die in that very spot Suveyda.

That’s the curious pull of Shiloh Dynasty – we can’t square her in our heads because she is a somebody and a nobody all at once...

When researching Febueder, the avante-something duo from Ascott, UK, I found disarray firmly planted on their web bio. And how manic is it? You decide. Listeners are still working out what on earth they’re up to.

There is something about a man who carries around a prosthetic of his own head at a gala while dripping in Gucci. It’s not just me, is it?

This is the story of how I listened to this six-hour work in one sitting, and came closer to existential dread than I think I will ever want to. Ever.

Who doesn’t love a healthy dose of female rage? It’s a real palette-cleanser.

Spotify might’ve legitimised anti-pop for the sake of inventing it. You might ask what anti-pop is. An easier answer might be what it isn’t. Fans quibble, yet they seem to locate a genre that embraces popular tastes while dismissing them.

Tumblr page Heavenly Wings & Heart reveals that one spouse tapped into their past lives and discovered they had two children with Hermes centuries ago

In Tyler, The Creator's sixth and probably most emblematic album, we are invited to hit the gas. We move forward in space, but backwards in time.

In a stroke, this album legitimised college rock, aestheticised it and tossed off choruses that can make anyone feel included.

Will Toledo is a furry. He came out onstage in Brooklyn, dressed as Mortis Jackrabbit, a gasmasked mammal with a coat like an old fox. His eyes glowed, plucked from a Fallout dream. Limbering up to ‘Bodys’, one of the best songs by his quite good band, Car Seat Headrest – and we can only assume with a smirk beneath the mask – he looked as if he was just getting used to himself at last. “Do yo...

Jimi Hendrix was a legendary musician from the counter culture era. His songs primarily talked about the suppression of the masses. He was a rebel who ignited the flame of a hippie spirit. He wrote songs that described the situation in the country. It helped him connect with other young people like him.However, Jimi Hendrix came from a very poor family background. His father worked in the milit...

Getting screwed by an artist never felt so pricey. But one day, you may find yourself somewhere special with someone who can’t get their hand off your junk. Neither can you. Kissing and blind, you hush them off with a grin. They stop. You know what they’re thinking. It’s the first time they’ve been at your place, but they’re really knowledgeable about you. Sometimes you achieve radical insigh...

 Female revenge narratives are no stranger to Hollywood, but their success is. In 2009, Diablo Cody’s Jennifer’s Body was released and received poorly by audiences and critics alike. The film was first marketed as a sex-filled fantasy created for the male gaze, but its true message is far more complex than that. Jennifer’s Body is a scathing, metaphorical, social commentary on sexual assault, r...
