WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We are big fans of Mixcloud on this site – so much so that we upload our own radio show to it. It’s one of the best places to have algorithm-free listening and find new music to listen to. We’re not on the payroll – we’re not influential enough for that, and you know it.…

Power Pop princess, all-round good egg and Bangles co-founder Susanna Hoffs has some new music coming out, and that’s always worth celebrating isn’t it? You bet your sweet ass it is! So, what’s going on? This isn’t a new Bangs record, rather, she’s putting out ‘The List’, which is her first release of entirely new…

You can almost hear the knuckleheads saying ‘how is A.I. learning from all the music ever made any different to humans listening to music and learning from it?’, but, A.I. music scraper/generator Suno has lost a copyright case against German licensing firm GEMA. Back in 2025, GEMA filed an infringement case, saying that Suno was…

Forgive the click bait headline – this isn’t a Daft Punk interview technically – however, it IS an in depth interview with Thomas Bangalter. That’s still big. Of course Thomas, along with Guy-Man, were effectively silent since the second Daft Punk album, so whenever there’s any sighting of them since then, it’s very exciting. While…

Look, we’re on record as being big fans of the New Radicals’ Power Pop hit, ‘You Only Get What You Give’, and if you don’t like it, you’ve got it all wrong in your head. Just because it was a runaway success and omnipresent, doesn’t mean it isn’t a banger. If you want to read…

Wolf Alice have covered The Roches’ absolutely legendary ’79 acid-folk gem ‘Hammond Song’, for an imminent project and, all things being fair, we’re including both versions here, in case you haven’t heard the original. First thing’s first, here’s the Roches version which is the kind of song that will have you feel like you’re floating…

Tom Waits made a surprising return with Massive Attack lately on a track called ‘Boots On The Ground’, which made for an intense, insular listen about some of the global bullshit going on at the minute. Well, he’s back some more, releasing the full version of his spoken-word track ‘The Fly’, which of course, you…

Flo Milli is going to release her fourth LP later this year, and to tease the release of course, there’s a new song to listen to. The album is called ‘FloState’ (that’s neat) and it’ll be on Jive. There’s no firm details on it just yet, but there’s a new psychedelic, syrupy number to listen…

You’ve probably heard by now, that there’s a fancy, deluxe version of ‘Rubber Soul’ by The Beatles coming out, right? While we could slavishly cut and paste the tracklistings for the various discs to pad out the word count for this article like most publications have, we’ll assume you’ve got the wherewithal to find out…

What do you know about Sylvan Esso? We don’t know anything about them, but the algorithm did its job for once and gave us this new song from them. They’re a duo, it’s a pretty nice song that has a whiff of trip hop about it, but not entirely, with a catchy nursery rhyme melody…
