Dry those eyes, MCRMY. Look who's done a thing...

Ray Toro, that's bloody who.
Ray Toro's done a thing. A fucking brilliant thing.
A thing he wrote, produced, played all the instruments on, sang and mixed. BY HIMSELF.


I'll give you a moment for that to sink in - he did all of the things.



Did anybody know he was hiding quite this much musical talent? Because I certainly didn't.
What an absolute, feelgood, inspiring belter.

Music Monday and a Summer Belter from Fenech-Soler

Nobody likes Mondays. That's a fact. You begrudge it for not being the weekend and ruining the fun you had over the previous two days. You feel a little like stomping around the workplace like a moody teenager, offering surly shrugs and frowning faces to any colleague with the audacity to be in a good mood.

So let's do all we can to make today a little more enjoyable and to save any kind of workplace spat potentially involving a stapler and Phil from accounts.


Fenech-Soler have very kindly provided the world with what I'm sure is going to be one of the tunes of the summer. The epitome of feelgood, sunshine vibes, "Magnetic" is just as drawing as the title would suggest. Turn it UP and wish the festival season would arrive a little sooner.

New music from Janelle Monae - Q.U.E.E.N featuring Erykah Badu


It starts with slick and dirty guitars with a nod to the 80s in the synths before cutting seamlessly to a bass-y breakdown before sliding with utter class to strings and horns. If this is what we can expect from "The Electric Lady", Monae's next release, it's going to be an absolute belter.

Get it on iTunes now.

London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years (Song of the Day)


London-based three piece London Grammar have knocked it out of the park once again with their follow up to Hey Now and Metal & Dust. Wasting My Young Years is another beautifully melancholic track with astonishing vocals and perfect for a summer sunset. Gorgeous.
