Each week, I listen to an artist, someone I might have heard of but never took the opportunity to “get into”. This week was the turn of Detroit’s own, Melissa Viviane Jefferson, better known as Lizzo. What I Knew Before Lizzo is probably the artist on my list that I felt I was the closest […]

Music Jar – week 31
Each week, I pick a band or artist from a pickle jar and listen to them as much as possible. This week was the turn of London four-piece, The Big Moon. What I Knew Before I knew nothing of the band before this week. They were a recommendation from my friend Sarah when I told […]
Music Jar – week 22
And here we go again. Each week, I take the name of a musician I don’t know enough about from a jar and listen to them, learning more as I go. This week was the turn of experimental hip-hop outfit, clipping. (yes, it’s stylised like that). What I Knew Before: Absolutely nothing. They were a […]
Music Jar – week 21
Inspired by Larson House, I am listening to artists I have never indulged in before. Each week, I take an artist suggested to me by friends, from the jar and listen to them for the week. This week was the turn of Norwegian alt-rock band, Madrugada. What I Knew Before: This is one of the few […]
Music Jar – week 20
Each week, I take an artist from a pickle jar on my bar caddy and try to indulge in their discography for a week. What with one thing and another, this sometimes proves slightly difficult and my brain is unable to process at the best of times. This week was the turn of Roberta Joan “Joni” […]
Music Jar – week 18
Every week, I listen to an artist that I’ve never taken the time with before. This week was the turn of Gloucestershire’s own FKA twigs. What I Knew Before: I was aware of FKA twigs (and yes, that’s lowercase on purpose) more for her amazing performance in Honey Boy and her relationship with Robert Pattinson, […]
Music Jar – week 14
At the start of the year, I put the names of 52 artists into a jar. Each week, I take one out and focus on that musician, singer or band. This week I had the absolute pleasure of listening to Memphis’s own, soul sen-goddamn-sation, Aretha Franklin! What I Knew Before: It’s pretty hard not to […]
Music Jar – week 12
It’s been a strange week and I’ve not really taken the opportunity to really delve into the music on offer from this week’s artist. As my wonderful friend Elisa put it, Jessie Ware probably isn’t my bag anyway. What I Knew Before: Jessie is short for Jessica. What I Know Now: Jessie Ware has three albums. […]
Music Jar – week 9
Names go into jar. Hand goes into jar. One winner appears (each week). This week was the turn of the real (Canadian) People’s Princess, Alanis Morissette. What I Knew Before: I knew Jagged Little Pill very well. I could shout a lot of the lyrics at you when drunk. I also knew that people like […]
Music Jar – week 8
Inspired by The Larson House, I put 52 bands/artists in a pickle jar. Each week I take a name out and focus on listening to them. This week was the turn of empirical sad girl, Lana Del Rey. What I Knew Before: Lana Del Rey is a mystical and beautiful beast who has a significant […]
