Porij – Lose Our Minds
Not often recently a TOTAL BANGER comes my way (one of two in fact) but checking out NME’s ‘ones to watch at festivals’ article) (sore point – I tried to get tickets for Glasto in the resale and failed, really couldn’t afford it anyway but I deserve a trip away) and nestled amongst the usual…

No-one is coming for me
I haven’t been avoiding COVID-19 stuff, just what can you say? We lost a year of our lives to idiocy, mismanagement, a virus.

Classic NME storm-in-a-Yorkshire-tea-cup, and also revision of history. Alex Turner does a frankly brattish and not at all punk nor rock and roll, acceptance speech, and NME laps it up as some Dylan Judas moment. Umm, you’re accepting an award from MASTERCARD Alex? You is not punk, nor rock and roll. Say ‘Fuck Mastercard and…

Noel vs his own music videos
Seems Noel Gallagher has finally realised what most of us knew 20 years ago – that Oasis were shit (mostly) and that their videos were terrible. Check out this Oasis DVD comment track highlights for extra lulz. Funny thing is I remember NME and probably Melody Maker touting their new LPs as ‘the best thing…
