BBC Sound of 2019

At this stage your need to voice an opinion appears to be inversely proportional to your general level of insight. Maybe take the next month or two off eh? Visit an ice rink or something.

that's a pretty overzealous reaction to... a lesbian with a drawn-on-mustache in a few scenes of her music video

xp fuck you, I'm not going anywhere, unless you want to be a hero mod I guess

rosalia - dictionary definition of 'watered down'

sea girls - this is literally the worst music i have ever heard

slowthai - another teacher's pet

will relisten to flohio and mahalia before voting, slim pickings as ever

the most important thing is that at least we all got to have our say

octavian

I'm def curious to hear what he does next, maybe he'll move on from some of the sourness I found unappealing on Spaceman

Octavian's singles were all excellent, but then I found his mixtape to be too dour to really enjoy
sadly otm

Hands is one of the best things I heard this year

:/

have spent today in a mad mood charging around london but this was all a bit inexcusable still

have been able to relax and reflect at home and there's a few things i'd want to walk back, chiefly the king princess comment, which was completely unwarranted, deeply problematic and not my battle to fight (not that there's even a battle TO fight here)

also, octavian and slowthai aren't teacher's pets they're quite charming

bad old lj lives on ban him ban him

have done some important unfollowing on twitter, which will hopefully improve my mindstate

sea girls are still the literal worst thing since the last male-fronted band that started with an s and ended 'girls', whom they are basically a reboot of

also apologies to matt dc, ugh

fwiw i had nothing to do w this year's website so zing away at the language (as if that ever stopped you all before)
