I understand the sentiment and real care that goes into the "please talk guys" response to suicide. But Scott Hutchinson had been talking about MH for decades. The larger problem is there isn't widespread support and services for people who do talk. That's incredibly isolating.

There are countless people who are battling depression who seek out help from their GPs and effectively get made to feel they're overreacting. I've been there. More focus is needed to ensure we all have accessible MH professionals close by, and that CBT is made an early option

Seen a few people say they haven't/won't listen to the Cindy Lee record because it's not on Spotify (even though it's free on YouTube). Madness! The smoothing of tech and removal of options outside of streaming is doing serious harm to people's curiosity.

Britpop is back! For my Guardian debut, I interviewed AG Cook, Nia Archives and Rachel Chinouriri - artists who all have albums that play with Britpop and national identity. What does Britpop mean in 2024?

Mad fer it! The young musicians flying the flag for Britpop

Artists from Dua Lipa to Nia Archives are tapping the boisterous energy of mid-90s music – and even embracing the union jack. Can they avoid the genre’s laddish lows?

This is so disappointing from Roisin Murphy if it's real (which looks likely.) These ignorant 'concerns' often turn into very radicalised views. For it to come from an artist who's so embedded in queer culture is incredibly grim.

Music writing, physical media and human curation are ways for us to more tangibly and deeply interact with culture. All three are being degraded rapidly. Without them, music becomes another vague content soup to swim through, and art is devalued more than it already has been.
