The National’s Alligator is 20.

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important.

oh my actual god - imagine if you had a live set where you could play all the tracks from Brat, and then bring on Caroline Polachek for a guest number, and then Robyn to do your collaborative track plus a performance of Dancing On My Own, I mean you'd pretty much have it all sewn up wouldn't you ❤️❤️
On my way to see Charli XCX no YOU’RE excited. (I’m beside myself)

I reviewed the new Warmduscher album for the Quietus
'The band have always weaved elements of hip-hop and jazz into their messed-up punk-funk but here they’ve refined it and pushed it forward, drafting in the voices of #IrvineWelsh, Lianne La Havas and Jeshi'
