St Vincent, Live @ Jimmy Kimmel

Monday's Special1KViews 0Likes 0Comments

Flu’s mostly gone, but on this fine Monday morning I’m still burning up from another kind of fever. I’ve been dying to write about St Vincent's new album ‘All Born Screaming’ since it came out but I’m way too busy listening to it to be honest. It’s been on repeat A LOT and I’m…

Towa Bird, Live @ Terminal 5

I’ve decided to share my favorite queer artists of the moment for this month's 'Monday's specials' - for reasons you prob heard the karens whine about by now. Well, let me tell you, there’s so much stuff out there it makes it difficult to pick just a few. Thought I'd never see the day? Allefuckinluia.…

Paramore – The Eras Tour @ Lisbon

‘dreams walking in broad daylight Three hundred sixty-five degrees’ That’s how last Saturday night felt like. A fever dream, an hallucination, hitting Hayley's stash of edibles a bit too enthusiastically. Who knows. But it wasn't meant to happen until it did. One minute you're contemplating finally putting away your laundry and…

Mike Shinoda // Already Over Sessions

Monday's Special2KViews 0Likes 0Comments

I was 15 years old when ‘Hybrid Theory’ was released, and it instantly became one of my most on-repeat albums on those days. And I’m speaking of days when the damn CD kept jumping in your portable player whenever you moved too fast so you just had to start over those songs endlessly. That’s about…

Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard And Soft

Album, Music, News2KViews 0Likes 0Comments

The thing I love most about Billie’s work is her unpredictability. You know where you start, sometimes - but you never know where you’ll end up by the time you’re done listening to those songs. I’m not one for small talk, and this album doesn’t deserve anything small to be honest, but I’ll have…

Wunderhorse, Live @ The Forum

Last week was a good week for me, and less for my banker, with scoring multiple tickets for my late 2024/2025 gigs schedule. One of these was for the good lads of Fontaines DC who miraculously decided to have a show in my neck of the woods - or at least in the right part…

PVRIS, live @ Warsaw

Monday's Special2KViews 0Likes 0Comments

I spent most of my free time in my youth in those dark rooms. Part venue, part basement - where the saturated sound amplified by the surrounding concrete would bounce back right through your bones. A place where music became more than anything, a physical experience. A place where your whole body was one…

Releases for my sanity

Have you ever had one of those insane weeks when everything is so undoubtedly shit that the single thought of waking up in the morning and sorting your life out becomes unbearable? Oh wait. That’s just being human nevermind. Ha ! It did happen, it does happen and most probably will again -…

Boxes, No WiFi and Coachella

I thought that with a new website, I'd bring less old excuses about running out of time (Alexa, you know the drill, play me some Paramore stat), but here we are. I've actually a fair excuse this time and most of you probably don't know, or care, but I'm moving houses at the moment - as…

Fontaines D.C., Live @ Tiny Desk

Some mondays are worse than others, had to use my backup emergency coffee this morning and spoiler alert, it was shit. Not the best start of the day so I definitely needed a post punk kick in the arse to jumpstart my system. Thankfully, I realized a couple of weeks ago that the good lads…

Taylor Swift – The Eras Tour Movie

Gigs, Movie2KViews 0Likes 0Comments

Taylor’s Eras tour is finally available for endless rewatches on streaming platforms so it’s probably the right moment to post that little write up I did after catching it at the cinema, for she definitely is - the moment. As for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, take a second for a…

Billie Eilish, Finneas @ THE OSCARS

Monday's Special1KViews 0Likes 0Comments

Nine Grammys, two Golden Globes, two Oscars and a lot (like a LOT) more - 22 years old. Do I really need to say more? Obviously. I’ve learnt not to judge the quality of an artist or a piece of music on the number of awards it gets but with a list…
