3 w. ago ‘This weird dream just keeps going!’ Wet Leg on overnight success, sexual epiphanies and facing fears

The UK indie-rockers won two Grammys for their debut album. Ahead of their second, they explain how they protected one another amid sudden fame – and how queer love and Davina McCall inspired themWet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale looks like a pop star from a different era. She walks into a bar in east London wearing a giant, floor-length pale-pink padded coat. She has bleached eyebrows, dip-dyed hair, drawn-on freckles and jewels stuck to her nails and teeth. For a moment, Top of the Pops could be on primetime TV and a copy of Smash Hits in my bag. But then Wet Leg’s story always did feel anachronistic. In 2021, they managed what indie bands don’t often manage any more and became an overnight success. That June, they released their first single, Chaise Longue, a deadpan, perfectly simple and cheerfully daft megahit; they conquered the US and Japan, toured arenas and topped the album charts with their scathing, self-titled debut, scoring two Brit awards and two Grammys.They were still touring...

4 w. ago The Orange and Other Poems by Wendy Cope audiobook review – an understated greatest hits collection

Read and contextualised by the poet herself, these gentle gems have an extra tang of immediacyA greatest hits collection from one of Britain’s best-loved poets, Wendy Cope’s The Orange contains themes of love, friendship, family and mortality. The 1992 title poem – which recently enjoyed a second life on TikTok, with users showing off their fruit-based tattoos – finds the author buying a large orange, sharing it with two friends and concluding: “I love you. I’m glad I exist.” After the Lunch is about falling in love on Waterloo Bridge while “high on the charm and the drink”, while Being Boring hails the virtues of a drama-free life (“No news is good news, and long may it last”).Cope is the reader, her delivery gently understated and frequently deadpan.
