Haven't managed to do as much RRG content as I would've liked recently, but at the very least I managed a Roundup video for the last couple of months. Reviewing remixes of K-pop, hip-hop, Thai rock, Inuit folk, charity advert music, and more:

My recent Worms Armageddon ranking video's already hit 15K views. I have no idea how. Maybe the comments section will explain its appeal...

Reminder that 100,000 people marched for Trans Pride in London earlier this year, but because they weren't violent fascists, there was minimal press coverage, unlike the Nazis today.

The secret of the Twix that THE MAN doesn’t want you to know, is that it’s a way of having Millionaire’s Shortbread when you’re not near a bakery or cake shop.

A few years ago I made some videos rating a bunch of weapons from Worms Armageddon. I missed out a few, however, so have started catching up on those now. Here's a video ranking every Special Weapon from worst to best:

Wrote a very long article on Medium about the Edinburgh Fringe, and the connection between how much money a comedian spends on their festival venue and how likely they are to get a review from a few different publications:

Me right after my show tonight: Can't wait to get working on the next show!

Me as soon as I get home: ah well, nevermind

This is on Thursday. As I’ve spent a considerable amount of effort showing that the Edinburgh Fringe is a sham, I expect everyone up there to ditch it and come watch this instead. Also pls watch if you’re already in London. Thx. x

Following my retrospective on Animal Collective last year, we now turn our attention to reviewing the complete remixography of the band's breakout member: psych rock collagist, dub techno connoisseur and friend of Daft Punk, Noah Lennox, AKA Panda Bear:

The latest Remix Roundup just dropped. There might not have been a Song Of The Summer™ this year, but June and July threw out a lot of great remix content. Plus a couple of clunkers. Feedback is always welcome.

On their debut album, The Go! Team's Ian Parton tried to create his own personal musical utopia by cramming all his favourite genres together, from northern soul to 80's hip-hop. But how does such a bespoke musical vision translate in the hands of others?

Hive mind: how much should I charge per hour for someone to listen to all 447 albums on my Bandcamp wishlist and check which ones I would actually enjoy enough to buy?
