This is one of my favorite songs/music videos of all time, it’s something I pull up and show just about every new person I meet. The original song with just Stormzy is fine, but only the remix by legendary grime producer Sir Spyro has the music video, and literally every second of it blows my mind. Why are Ed Sheeran and Stormzy driving a range rover through the English farmland in matching tracksuits? Why is Ed Sheeran rapping about “grossing half a billi on the divide tour” right after Stormzy’s talking about letting his 12 gauge rip? Why does Aitch’s verse in the video take place in a poorly lit cafe with Ed taking massive bites of his meal with a fork while the rest of the video is much more glamorous? Why is the hook so fucking good?? Give me a packet of crisps and a pint!! Please check this song out lol

Song of the year sorry. Wrote and produced this one with one of my best friends in his bedroom in Melbourne, and then like 2 weeks later shot the music video on my camera absolutely shitfaced at a club night I run (Nocturne) with another one of my best friends. If you’re wondering why the video is so shaky and wonky and all over the place, we were like one bump away from a k-hole. I think because of that, this video really encapsulates the hedonism of youth, friendship and the resurrection of fun club music.

Very few 30 second videos give me such certainty that I’ll always find them funny. I could watch this 100 times in a row and not get tired of it, and I definitely have. I don’t know the backstory but I’d like to think these two frenchmen in clown makeup who don’t even look much like the Joker or Pennywise didn’t know each other and just started going off in perfect harmony. Favorite moment: when one of them goes “oh my god” while doing this little dance with his hands.. so good. hah! jokere

This brand new album’s been on repeat since it came out on Friday. dltzk is a 17 year old prodigy, one of the rising stars of the “”””hyperpop””””-associated scene who I feel lucky enough to have been able to hear the rapid development of in real time.. at this point I’ve accepted that this next generation of online musicians are already light years ahead of me but this album is definitely special. It’s euphoric, it’s punk, it’s playful, and its full of the types of production gimmicks I’d usually find distracting but here they’re executed so intentionally and tastefully, a lot of the songs feel like they include remixes of themselves.

So everyone loves the Sopranos, but I feel like nobody’s ever heard of this Norwegian TV show (bought by Netflix) starring Steven Van Zandt from the Sopranos (and Bruce Springsteen’s band). This might only specifically appeal to me because I’m an Estonian American but it’s a crazy good show about a pseudo-Sopranos NYC mobster who goes into witness protection in Lillehammer, Norway. It’s such a good combo of worlds, definitely worth a watch.
