Anyone else notice the credits for S3 of White Lotus use the same sample as Burial’s “Endorphin”?

Major label rap is so stagnant rn. Big X sampled Stay Fly only last October, now Key Glock has done it. Get some new ideas!

Some days I struggle to see myself as an academic. Others – like today when I got really excited about a new magazine repository – reaffirm that I am indeed a massive nerd. Check this out: rilm.org/rapmm. Launching May 27!

Today, I launch the next stage of my PhD research into rave culture in #EastAnglia (that’s #Cambridgeshire, #Norfolk and #Suffolk) between 1989 and 2019. I’m looking for former and current ravers who partied in the region to fill in a quick online survey about their experiences.
Text reads: EAST ANGLIAN RAVERS REQUIRED! If you have been to or organised a free party or rave in East Anglia since 1989, we want to hear from you! As part of an ongoing PhD project, music historian Matt Anniss is creating a new history of rave culture in East Anglia, showcasing the stories, memories and experiences of those who took part.

Rest in Peace to Caspar Melville, one of the loveliest and warmest souls I’ve ever encountered in this sorry thing we call life. A great scholar, curious mind, and mentor to many. Devastating news, and such a huge loss 🕊️

Very sad to hear of David Johansen’s passing. For some bizarre reason the New York Dolls headlined a Cow Shed in Canterbury back in 2008. I was 16 and it was at my first ever festival. The sound in that place was awful, but their performance was sensational—something I’ll never forget. RIP 🕊️

Congratulations to BRIT winners Charli XCX (Bishop's Stortford College, £38,319 per year), AG Cook (King Alfred School, £27,747) and The Last Dinner Party (Bedales, £52,075) for showing that people from ordinary backgrounds can reach the top in pop music, that most egalitarian of art forms.

William Boyd on Desert Island Discs an absolute car crash: “We had servants but there was no tension”; “my mother moved from Nigeria to Switzerland and became more sophisticated”. How is no one checking this colonial dinosaur?

Damn. RIP, Roberta Flack. I was literally just talking about her Rock Hall induction speech for Little Richard this morning. In it, she calls out the Hall for excluding women in its first class. She died un-nominated, but left behind a formidable body of work.

Pieces are also really hard. No wonder I sacked in solo performance early on. Don’t miss filing my nails every day one bit

In-between houses, so running my old Grade 8 pieces as classical guitar only instrument I have access to right now: fingers in absolute bits, forgot I had callouses thicker than rhino skin back in the day!

Acclaimed British grime producer Terror Danjah has died
No cause of death has been given for the Nasty Crew producer, who was heralded as a pioneer of grime from the early 2000s onwards
