WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Harry Styles dresses glamorously, so regardless of the music he’s making and thanks to a couple of sequins and whatnot, we are by law, required to liken him to some people from the ’70s. Seeing as most people identify the ’70s with David Bowie, then Harry Styles must be like him, eh? Now, we actually…

Sheena Easton has had a funny ol’ career hasn’t she? From ‘Morning Train (Nine To Five)’ to being in a band with Prince, it’s quite the leap, eh? Well, concerning her own work, the lovely people over at Cherry Red are reissuing her debut LP ‘Take My Time’ from 1981. Now, we haven’t looked at…
-
Formerly Girl Band, now Gilla Band, they’ve got a new single out called ‘Sports Day’ and honestly, you can probably just scroll to the bottom of this article and listen to the track and skip all the fluff. However, the fluff is slightly necessary for us as we have to provide something that looks like…

Hey Macca fans! There’s going to be a feature documentary that looks at Paul McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles. That’s the cool solo bits, Wings, and his life with Linda McCartney, and obviously, an insane amount of incredible music. We’re promised a lot of never-seen-before archive of Paul and Linda’s home videos…

Pop Corps are gigantic Steely Dan fans. Let’s just get that out of the way. Now, Steve Albini says he hates Steely Dan. Time to get the claws out and start bringing up the fact that Steve Albini was in a band called Rapeman and all that, right? Time to outline exactly why Steely Dan…

One of our favourite, favourite music project is back with more music. If you haven’t heard Looking Suite, then you’re missing out on some really wonderful ambient, post-noodle, psychedelic improv, nu-age, dream-chug music. It’s hard to pin down what it is exactly, but you’ll feel like you’re hovering while it’s on, and it’s magic. The…

Pink Floyd – they’ve always got on so well with each other haven’t they? We joke of course, but any hope for a reunion have been well and truly booted to death this week. Polly Samson, author and wife of Dave Gilmour, have been tweeting. We’ll link to her tweet. Then to Gilmour’s quote tweet.…

If you’re very knowledgable about music and go on about it, there’s no telling you anything. For the rest of everyone, there’s a new app that you might like! You might not! We’re not your real dad. Anyway, an app. So, there’s a new app out that’s called Rewind and what it intends to do…

There’s a lot of musicians and bands that haven’t been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and when you read the latest list of nominations, you’ll be like “THEY’RE NOT ALREADY IN THERE?!?!” This year, up for the award… and unbelievably not already in there, are Kate Bush, George Michael, Missy Elliott…

Yves Tumor isn’t quite like anyone else around at the moment, but one thing we do know is that the music they’ve been making is undeniably sexy. Good too, mind you. Future glam mixed with Prince’s grimier moments, with a dollop of psychedelics thrown in. It’s fun stuff. Well, good news pop fans, there’s going…

GUIDE TO NON RAP DISS TRACKS
Beef. Settling scores. Getting personal. Whatever you want to call it, music is littered with musicians communicating in the only way they know how – through song. We tend to think of hip hop when we think of such things, but there’s loads of diss tracks in other genres too. Musicians, eh? They’re a rum…

DRAKE QUIETLY DROPS KENDRICK LAWSUIT
Remember Drake throwing out a lawsuit, snitching on Kendrick and Universal Music Group, in one of the most laughed-out-of-town events of 2024? The lawsuit was dissected by lawyers online, and everyone suggested it was all a terrible idea. Well, the Canadian performer claimed that the success of ‘Not Like Us’ had been “artificially inflated” in…

HORSEGIRL MOTORIK BEAT!
A lot of post punk stuff has really switched us off in recent years, so it’s nice to hear a motorik beat that is super fun! And that’s thanks to Horsegirl who have a new Cate Le Bon produced single out called ‘Switch Over’. The group are releasing their second LP called ‘Phonetics On and…

VILLAGE PEOPLE TO PLAY TRUMP GIG
The use of ‘YMCA’ by Donald Trump has been one of the more mystifying things in recent memory. You look at the people’s he’s courting and you think they’re into stadium country and classic rock, but somehow, the face of US Fascism has chosen a kinda lame, novelty disco hit about young men washing their…
