Despite pushing 40, Q still has incredible energy to give, and arguably the best ear for beats in the game.

BEST NEW TRACKS OF THE WEEK 08/03/2024: Twenty One Pilots, Justice, St Vincent and more...
No ‘worst’ tracks section this week. The last 7 days has been an endless barrage of bops. The new Charli XCX track didn’t even get a look in, despite being pretty good. Even Twenty One Pilots are on their A game. Other artists featured this week include Justice, St Vincent, Machinedrum, Walter the Producer and Sadistik.

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE FORTNIGHT 01/03/2024: A.G. Cook, Schoolboy Q, Kings of Leon and more...
The last two weeks has been wild. Almost everything I’ve listened to has been pretty decent. Even that unexpected Weeknd/Madonna/Carti collab was surprisingly good. But not good enough to make my track roundup. Artists that did make the cut include English Teacher, A.G. Cook, Schoolboy Q, Kings of Leon, Marzia, Rollo Doherty, Set Feux and The Voidz.

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE WEEK 16/02/2024: Idles, Goat Girl, Mutes and more…
Wash out you ears out after listening to that new Kanye album with these new tunes. It's mostly British post-punk this week. If you don't like British post-punk, I'm sorry. Artists featured this week include Idles, Goat Girl, Mutes, Bound by Endogamy, Aloysius Bell and BEAR1BOSS.

BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE MONTH 01/02/2024: Hiatus Kaiyote, Idles, Ben Shapiro and more...
2024 is already shaping up to be an interesting year for music. Lil Nas X has been angering the hardcore Christians with his portrayal of gay Jesus, while Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion seem to be engaged in a vicious beef - none of which I'm going to cover in this post. In fact, I've got far better (and worse) tracks to discuss. Artists featured in my January roundup include Hiatus Kaiyote, Idles, Lola Young, Les Ailes, Polevaulter, All The Bees, Craig Wedrens, Tom Macdonald/Ben Shapiro and Playboi Carti.
