I'm Merlin, 20, from England. I like a lot of music, night time, satire, black comedy, rain, wine, conversation, black coffee, roll-ups, whiskey and good food. I dislike cold wind, but if I'm wrapped in a large scarf and an enormous overcoat and it's pissing with rain, which is, incidentally, my favourite thing in the world, I'm very happy.
A full-time Lord of the Rings/Legend of Zelda enthusiast, but Irish and Scottish accents, red hair, tattoos, Sigur Rós, Black Books, Thom Yorke, Andy Hull, The Antlers, cooking, gigs and festivals will also do, O best beloved.

"Spin Madly On" theme by Margarette Bacani. Powered by Tumblr.
A lot of anger about the Brit Awards flying about.

Ultimately, is it really such an awful thing to just not care about the atrocity of it all? Whilst the general public blindly go on and on about the same artists year in, year out, the sheer magnitude of underground talent in our country is actually quite comforting. 

Like these guys, for example.

The majority of chart and mainstream music, put simply, sucks. Everyone knows it. To a certain extent, we always have. Bearing that in mind… championing the burgeoning artists in our country whose every success takes massive personal effort has surely never been a better option.
