So blingmerchants Jay-Z and Kanye West are gonna be dropping their ridonculous shapes in Dublin this summer. I won’t lie…I felt a frisson of excitement. These two major playerz have been churning out some seriously heavy tunes on their collaborative album Watch The Throne. Full of swagger, bravado and dark wit, it pleases me so. [...]
HIDE Shield your eyes from those chest-baring t-shirts. Recoil in horror from those low-slung, skinny jeans (why are his legs skinnier than mine?) Duck from that anti-gravity bouffant. The man jewellery! The guyliner! The garish shirts! The hipster bum! Noel Fielding in a hipster run-off with Justin Bieber. I don’t watch the X-Factor, but I [...]
OOOoooh, look at Riri. So cutesy in her likkle onesie. All toasty and schnuggly and innocent. And have you seen those socks? WANTSIES. Riri: all wrapped up and just focused on the music. Thanking God for her creative flow, letting all her positive energy and love for the world spill out onto her music-sheet. She [...]
WWIWT are holding there own awards ceremony. Well that’s a complete exaggeration; we won’t be asking people to manically vote around the clock for days, possibly weeks on end (again…). There’s really just one award. That I’ll be choosing. Just for the craic. The award for the MOST annoying celebrity of the moment goes to; [...]
So, by way of explanation, my leave of absence has been due to a whistlestop tour through Eastern Europe…a music festival in Bratislava, a camping scramble through the mountains in North West Slovakia and a culinary (and alcohol) exploration of Krakow*. There were attempts to document some of the activities…and some of the outfits…but inebriated [...]
Anyone who has seen Janelle Monae live (which includes me, as of last night), will know that she is AMAZINGLY talented. She’s a mover and a shaker with fantastic stage presence and showmanship. Anyone who has her album will know she herself obviously loves music and is doing something different. Claire de lune to MGM [...]
New Style Icon Alert. The inimitable style of LA-based, self proclaimed ‘white girl rapper’ Kreayshawn is only freaking awesome. Almost impossible to label, but anyone who can work Mickey-mouse ears, Deirdre Barlow specs, Jacinta gold hooooooops, Indian nose-chains, lots of fluoro and a shitload of tats…and not look ridiculous…well she gets my vote. And she [...]

And with the GARGEOUS weather supposing to be staying around for awhile, we can finally lust after things other than Hunter wellies, and mahoosive rain ponchos! [...]
Beyonce apparently feels the end is nigh. The apocalypse is coming, annihilation is imminent; the skies have darkened, mutiny is everywhere - but fear not! Queen Beyonce shall fight it with her army of girls who Run The World. Using some fierce tribal dancing, a sample of Major Lazer’s Pon de Floor track and a [...]
So, Nicola Roberts, ‘that red-haired one’ from Girls Aloud is launching a solo career. This excites me. Let me tell you why. Firstly, Diplo and Switch are producing her sound. Diplo of Major Lazer and M.I.A fantastic collaboration shizzle. Dirty, beat-y, bass-y, sweaty pop I am reckoning. Have a little listen below. Secondly, I [...]
Star-spangled banners how are ya? The Eurovision: a towering monument to all that is flashy, trashy and sequinned. How did Eurovision 2011 fare? There was a lot of concentration on traditional costumery (really?), feathers, gnome hats and cleavage. Aideen, Jennie and Sarah cast a brief eye over the sartorial offerings. Sarah [...]
