This week: new music from Loaded Honey and Wet Leg | an underground classic from Danger Mouse and MF DOOM | remembering Mu from Fat Freddy’s Drop

Also: overcommitting in relationships, coaching trees, third wheels, old mate bangers, heavy ‘Flo, it’s 2025 and tedious indie music purity tests are somehow still a thing, horny on main, unexpected theme weeks, the Janet English Finishing School, random genre generators, ignoring all recommendations, cultural zeitgeist dodgers, missing the references, young DOOM was a PROBLEM, a tall tree falls, force amplifiers, long-awaited albums, avoiding the neighbours, riding up hills on inappropriate equipment, the Mongoose flies, time for an opener-off and the undefeated, unmitigated loser energy that radiates off New Zealand cricket fandom .

Next week’s new-new: Panic Shack | Benjamin Booker | His Lordship
