ARTS CRIES AND WHISPERS
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.4 POP MUSIC is always reinventing itself, and breaking down into new sub-divisions - jungle-techno, techno-grunge, jungle-grunge, grungle-junge, etc. Even so, I was surprised to discover, from the Letters page of the May issue of Mojo, a category called "Independent-on-Sunday- teenage-wet-dream-groups". The writer of the letter is Pippa Legg from Hampshire. The only example she gives is Portishead. My colleagues on the rock desk are doing their best to take it as a compliment. But we're not sure how closely Ms Legg has been reading the paper. Elsewhere in the letter she asserts that "one of the greatest secrets of last year was how gorgeous Boz Scaggs's Some Change was". Well, it's true that only one national newspaper championed the album, and bothered to interview its author. But it was this one. A clear case of no Legg to stand on.
