Things I've written recently!
I am bad at updating Tumblr.
There's been two #1 singles and thus two Number Ones columns I've written since the last I thing I linked to on Tumblr (my Number Ones column on 'Blank Space'):
Mark Ronson feat Bruno Mars - 'Uptown Funk'Â (it was hard to avoid cataloguing the influences on the track, but also I wanted to show what was very 2015 about the song)Â
Omi - 'Cheerleader'Â (which I discussed in terms of it not really following the trends of #1s in Australia, and what pop is)
I also did an end of 2014 thing for TheVine where I went over Australia's top 20 highest selling singles according to ARIA, which features my thoughts on a bunch of songs I hadn't otherwise discussed, from 'Chandelier' to 'Stolen Dance' to 'Fancy' to 'Problem'.
I wrote three Science Readers, where I link to interesting new science writing:
Science Reader - Jurassic World, electric eels, torture confident idiots, more
Science Reader - Biggest Animals, Foetus Brains, Schwarznegger Raptors, String Theory, more
Science Reader - Feathers, Brain Tapeworm, The G-Spot, Cheese, Starfish, more
And a Music Reader column, featuring stuff on Jimmy Page, Sleater Kinney, Mark Ronson, Megan Washington, George Michael and more.
Oh, and I reviewed The Veronicas' album for The Guardian (!), and reviewed The Decemberists' new album and Father John Misty's new album (which I really think is great) for The Big Issue (who don't post things online).
