Masc lesbians, butches and studs around the world are using American sign language to spell out the lyrics “A, B, say my name, spell it out / If you start to shake, I can hold you down on this bed frame”. Naturally, a key part of the choreography is the part when they enact holding someone down on a bed frame. The mischievous perpetrator responsible for these lewd lyrics is Walthamstow’s own artful dodger, Kwn (pronounced kay-one).

There isn’t one recipe for success in the music industry. For some artists, the ascent can be quick (too quick even), with TikTok unlocking the power to make someone a star overnight. For others, success is an uphill battle that takes decades of hard work, determination and resilience. Even the ones who do get boosted by social media streams have, more often than not, been grinding behind the scenes for years prior – take Doechii, Raye or Charli xcx, for example.

7 Images Primavera Sound isn’t exactly the mud-laden, down and dirty, field festival that us Brits have come to know and love. First of all, there’s no camping – meaning everyone gets to shower as usual and no one has to get dressed lying down in a sweltering neon tent. The Spanish climate, which reached a gorgeous 27 degrees this year, meant there wasn’t a welly or raincoat in sight. Instead, your typical camper-clobber was replaced by bikinis, baby tees and hot pants.

This time of year can be strange for final year university students. Right now, many of them are stressed to the max, completing exams, coursework, dissertations and final hand-ins.

This was especially funny given that Kylie’s boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, is somewhat of a New York Knicks megafan. Throughout May, the couple have been seen courtside at several Knicks games and on Saturday (May 31).
