Music references in video games
I was playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas the other day on my PS2 and noticed one of the districts is called Idlewood. Its developers, Rockstar North, are Scottish, plus it's a fictional name,...

The outake followup single "Soldier" actually sounds better than pretty much every song on the album, so why didn't they release it as the lead single? Instead it's been dumped onto some charity EP...

Are the BBFC now age restricting albums (UK)?
I was looking through new releases when it came to my attention that one of them contains the BBFC's "18" symbol on its cover. To my knowledge, the BBFC only rate video-related content, so I find it...

"Not for sale in South Africa"
I've come across this on a couple of CDs I own, A Wedding Present one and a Billy Bragg one, both from the late 80s. My guess would be that either the labels or bands had chosen to boycott the...

Generational singing styles?
Currently the majority of music being sung by Millennials/Gen-Z has a kind of dribbly sound to the vocals, often with unusual sudden drops at the end of lines. This type of singing didn't really...
