Did you see her Vice interview where she (rightfully) rants about not being elegible for the Mercury Prize?

I did, I posted a status about it too. I'm glad she's raising a fuss, when the shortlist came out I remember being surprised she wasn't nominated but didn't think it went that deep. Knowing the reasons behind it turned it from an annoying snub to an infuriating purposeful exclusion.

It is total bullshit that institutions are gatekeeping in such way. I hope this reults in a much-needed discussion about cultural and national identity in our days. It is clear that the square rules that governments throughout the world apply leave a lot of people feeling like outcasts. Multi-culturality is an inherent trait of current societies, so laws should adjust accordingly.

Clarence says that he has some new merch coming soon, I'll post about it if I catch it in time. Would be a fun way to support the artist and hopefully get some dope stuff to wear out of it too!

This is a great great deal for those in the UK, but even for the US peeps this comes out to only about $31. No need to FOMO as I'm sure it will come around again but this is a good deal on it for the time being if you've got the $30ish to spare

The taste jumped out

Elton John reveals his favourite album of the year (so far)

‘It encompasses so many styles of music,’ John said of Sawayama's self-titled debut

www.independent.co.uk

Elton John continuing to be a Rina Sawayama stan is one of my favorite developments of 2020

Finally managed to secure a copy. French seller on Discogs, delivered in 7 days. Amazing!

so i'm way late on this but apparently Clarence debuted a new song in October during Dorian Electra's My Agenda stream. he's also been posting that he is definitely working on a third album so that gives me hopes for 2021

exciting news! Clarence announced he will be releasing a beat tape type comp for Bandcamp Friday next week. I'll link off to it when it comes out but I obviously highly recommend throwing some $$$ at it because even his instrumental leftovers tend to be absolutely golden

I got a kick out of this; someone made a CC lyrics bot on Twitter so now you can follow and get snippets of Clarence's elegant poetry in tweet form if you so wish.

Rina is one of many artists set to appear on this upcoming Metallica tribute compilation, and based on the very small snippet, I think she's bringing the boi Clarence with her
