What We Know About Major Amyl And The Sniffers And Fred again.. Collab
What We Know About Major Amyl And The Sniffers And Fred again.. Collab
Over the last week, Amyl And The Sniffers vocalist Amy Taylor has teased a forthcoming collaboration between the band and British DJ and producer, Fred again… It may sound like an extremely unlikely pairing, but the duo are fans of each other’s music, and the song they’ve been working on has been in the making for a little while now. On Tuesday (30 September), Taylor posted to her Instagram Stories that she was “very excited” about the song with Fred again.., a remix of the band’s song, Big Dreams, from their latest album, Cartoon Darkness. She followed that up on Wednesday (1 October), sharing a photo of the pair and revealing that their highly anticipated collab will drop this Friday (3 October). However, fans who follow both Taylor and Fred again.. closely know that the song hasn’t come out of nowhere. In August, the Hertz singer joined the DJ live on stage in Sheffield, where they premiered the Big Dreams remix for the first time. Fred again.. shared a snippet of the special moment on his Instagram, captioning the post: this is footage of me witnessing the degree of icon that amyl is 😳 she’s playing Leeds today so joined us in Sheffield last night. yesterday was the first time we got to meet and then we play this out for the first time. cannot waitttt to get to play it live with the full band and everything. Embedded Content In a recent cover story interview with The Music, Taylor explained the inspirations behind the stormy ballad that is Big Dreams. Revealing that she wanted the song to sound like a “spaghetti Western,” the writing of Big Dreams couldn’t help but be inspired by melancholy, as Taylor looked to where she’s lived for the last decade—Melbourne—and the impact COVID-19 and lockdowns had on the city. “I guess that melancholia is about having big dreams and seeing people's dreams not really come true,” she explained. “We're all getting older, and I just really hope that everybody's dreams can come true because a lot of people I know haven't yet, but when I see them doing what they're really good at, like, you know, I've got friends who are amazing performers, really good musicians or great filmmakers, whatever it is. “When I see them doing it, I'm like, ‘Damn, you're lit. You've always been lit.’ It doesn't matter what happens; it's what you're good at, it's who you are. It doesn't matter if you get success or you don't, or you get money or you don't. That's what the beauty is: your talent.” In March 2024, Fred again.. performed with another Australian artist, bringing Angie McMahon on stage in Melbourne for a rendition of Angie (i’ve been lost).

Israeli soldiers were filmed detaining two Palestinian children in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, while demanding to know their father’s whereabouts.

When a passerby intervened and urged their release because of their young age, a soldier replied, “I don’t care”.

Nelson Mandela’s statue at the UN reminds us that true leadership is courage in action.

"Do not look away, do not hesitate. The world is hungry for action, not words. Act with courage and vision."

His vision still inspires us today. #UNGA80

The performative mourning driven by social media, was from blueprints sitting there in large conservative think-tanks like the Heritage Foundation, waiting to be deployed

🚨🧵 @hrw.org on Trump's #UNGA80 speech: -- He made too many false claims about world affairs to seriously address them. What is serious is Trump’s obvious lack of respect for international organizations that promote human rights, like the UN, which the US played a central role in creating. 1/x
