14. Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
She was how old when she wrote this?! Prodigy, wunderkind, it all applies. The fact that this wasn’t a one-off underlines her genius.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

This challenge actually made me revisit The Bends, an album I hadn’t listened to in full for something like twenty years, and I had completely forgotten what a banger of an opening track this is.

Portishead's Dummy is one of my top ten albums of all time. I am so lucky I discovered it early, when I am usually late to the party on everything (see: The Warning).

Fascinating interview, my god what a story. The excerpt from the phone transcript is utterly chilling.
The woman who made her family disappear: how Karen Palmer escaped her abusive husband
He had threatened her, locked her up and absconded with one of their daughters. Palmer knew she and her girls needed to escape – but it would involve huge risk and total reinvention

Can we stop having this stupid debate about whether or not the Trump regime is fascist? There is no longer an argument to be had. It's literally telling us it is.
