I've been busting to share this one with you in conversation with #TrashyToneThursday pioneer Emi Grace. The LA-based 21-year-old wunderkind shares how Van Halen's 'Eruption' blew up her love for searing solos (understandably) and why performing live is her perfect destiny🎸🔥

Ever since I saw Katy Kirby perform at last year's EndOfTheRoadFestival, I've been utterly enamoured by her blissful songwriting & that thrifty Teisco find so it was a real treat to hear about tour time with katie crutchfield & the unlikely chord inspiration from a hugely underrated instrument🎹

After their raucous show at Ramsgate Music Hall around this time last year, I was more than a little excited to hop on the blower with Karla and Colm of SPRINTS to sing the praises of Electro-Harmonix & hear more on their wall of amps recording top 20 debut, Letter To Self, over Guitar World🎸

And you can still find me popping up in print too including this month's Love Issue of The Skinny speaking with wonky pop pals Lime Garden because aren't our friends often our greatest loves?💕

So so proud of my best babe cheri amour interviewing THE Pauline Black Wolverhampton Literature Festival tonight. Super captivating, what a wonder woman Pauline Black OBE DL is 🩷

Is this thing still on... I'd also add to the Stylist Magazine list: are you (thrillingly) ready to take control of your own path through life? Can you (happily) imagine a routine away from the 9-5 that society has sold us? Will there always be elevenses? stylist.co.uk/life/careers/t…

As the heavens pour down outside, probably just channel the actual G-A-Y & Heaven 🏳️‍🌈 Nightclub* w/ georgia’s hedonistic escape, Euphoric (even if I did miss the live drums) *incidentally the last place I saw her perform if you don’t count that ace HAIM tour support last summer 🧨

Much like its name, I had a lot of (millennial) love for @oliviapetter1’s book which I gobbled up in one weekend. From self perception through your IG grid to the toxic risk of DM sliding, I haven’t enjoyed a non-fiction number as much as this since Jia Tolentino’s Trick Mirror🪞

Happy release day Gabriels A delight to hear inimitable vocalist Jacob Lusk on BBC Radio 6 Music this morning (and my personal album fave, the mighty ‘Great Wind’) I wrote about the whole full five star experience here theartsdesk.com Weekend listening sorted 🎙️theartsdesk.com/new-music/albu…

No one wants to be that guy dishing out 5 star reviews willy nilly but if you didn’t rate my last recommend (yes, it was McFly’s rockin’ return) can I sway you with this divine soul sensation? Because if the Rocketman says it’s good, who am I to argue (but seriously it’s ace) 🚀

Top of the morning! 'The bitch is back' and so am I at Guitar World catching up again with the inimitable palehound who returns with a new record this month + a whole lotta love for Fender's Stratocaster. Read the full conversation (including some nifty gear tips-offs) below👇
