Friday is decent; Ashley obviously, and Carter Faith, 😍. But wtf is Cooper Alan???? Lol at Jelly Roll dropping from cancelled stadiums to Sunday at the O2. Genuinely getting worse/less to my tastes every single year.

Big big fan of Lauren Watkins voice but her songs haven't been of the same standard. But... 'If I'm Being Honest' is a huge leap for her. Much better, really enjoying it. tidal.com/album/562082...

Can't lie, I quite like the new Riley Green record. I'm an album guy though so no way I'm listening to 19 tracks every time. Have some discipline, cowboy. tidal.com/album/560196...

Ellie Goulding has smashed it with her new album. It's her best since her debut. Lyrically dense and cutting,usually interesting and broad. Her voice is perfect too. Some of the lyrics, man, they punch hard. tidal.com/album/556812...

Sometimes I think I'm not minding some of SCM's stuff, then i stumble in a self indulgent piece of crap like his Stella Lefty "article". Who's got the time to read that many words, especially when it says so little. Boy needs a subeditor, stat.

Asked a few questions of Margaret Glaspy. I'm a big fan and her new album is another cracker of emotion and guitar.

"You play me like a six string, and wonder why I gently weep" WHAT A LINE!!! If you haven't already, so yourself a favour and listen to Carter Faith record, it's stacked with exquisite songwriting. You'll never spend a better 1h 10m of your life. tidal.com/track/543840...

Supergirl is a fun movie, with some decent character moments. This is a horrible review. Keeps banging on about the screenwriter but can't be bothered to find out her name. Mean spirited and wrong. ‘Supergirl’ Review: A Heroine Rendered Powerless By Scriptonite share.google/toJ14YuTxZp1...

‘Supergirl’ Review: A Heroine Rendered Powerless By Scriptonite

Supergirl is a big test for the DCU, and it fails miserably, hamstringing its lead with bad directing and a worse script.

May 1st. What a country music start to spring. Clearly everyone knows about Kacey's new record (and it slaps!) but MC Taylor (aka Hiss Golden Messenger) has just released a beauty of a record too. And, Caley Watts debut is a terrific slice of understated and powerful country.

What a song this is. If you're not into Carter Faith yet, sort yourself out. She should be the biggest thing going in country music. Witty lyrics, great voice, pedal steel, ballads, power pop country, Cherry Valley is one of the best in years. tidal.com/track/463048...

Looking for new music today? Look no further than Morgan Nagler's terrific debut. Grungy and indie and folky. It's a songwriters record. If you want to know more about Morgan I chatted with her recently about her songwriting. www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/int...

Gonna have to say it... I'm heading to C2C in London this weekend and I couldn't be less excited. The lineup is TERRIBLE. I'm not even going on the Saturday, first day missed in over ten years. Compounded by Meg McRee and Aaron Raitiere not being there now either. That sucks. See you there...

So I think Cam has just done the best show I've ever seen. The songs. The voice. The band. The pacing. The setlist. Perfect.

We're a disgrace in the UK, Madi Dias couldn't sell enough tickets at modest venues on a headline tour. Only London is going ahead. She's a super talent, written songs you'll know so well, and he own music is brilliantly understated.

Great paragraph from Simon Price about the price of gig tickets. I've had a bugbear about the gig going experience for a few years now. Nothing about it is nice. Nothing. Yes the show can be good, but the venue is almost always shit, as Simon says you enjoy the show despite it
