WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Not every day is a news day. Maybe some will happen later? Who knows? Not us. Either way, that’s no excuse for us to not post something. There’s always a blank box that needs filling with some words and a thing, right? With that, we’ve been really enjoying this Argentinian jazz LP by Jorge Lopez…

Daft Punk are doing a 10th anniversary of ‘Random Access Memories’ and it’s out May 12th. That might be all the info you need. There’s a video at the bottom of this article too. For those who need a little more, it includes nine tracks and 35 minutes of unreleased music. Nice. Available on 3xLP,…

How much do you like ‘Loaded’ by the Velvet Underground? Well, if the answer is ‘FUCKING HELL, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!’ and you have a bucket filled with money, you’re in for a treat! A limited edition vinyl reissue is coming out and has a load of unreleased stuff, words, photos and all that…
-
So, Spotify – problematic but we all use it – have an announcement or two to make. Most of what they have to say is magnificently dull and will only interest industry writers and tech journos, but there is something in there that will prick up the ears of DJs. You’ll note there was no…

You know Bratmobile right? They’re lumped in with the Riot Grrrl movement, but to us, they were more garage punk than grunge adjacent. Either way, for fans of snotty, smart tunes with fuzzy guitars, it’s good news and they’re going to be playing their first live show in a couple of decades! Great news! Now,…

This is a genuinely lovely bit of news and it doesn’t matter if you’ve heard of Bring Me The Horizon or not. Trust us. Keep reading, it’ll be worth it in the end. What’s going on then? Well, there’s a children’s author called Oliver Sykes. The singer of BMTH is called Oli Sykes. People have…

As Chromeo and A-Trak feature on the song, we considered putting their names in the headline for more Google ranking clout, but decided against it foolishly. Still though, Ric Wilson and Chromeo and A-Trak all on one very, very, very fun new song that will make you wish it was Friday night. It’s retro enough…

The amount of money an artist receives for making music is a hot topic at the moment. Apart from a few at the top, it sincerely looks like a lot of mid-tier and smaller bands simply can’t afford to be musicians, professionally. There’s people playing large gigs who still have office jobs. Whether or not…

If you go on Kate Bush’s website, something’s changed. There, you’ll see a landing page for something called Fish People. Does this mean new music? Let’s not get too excited, but let’s hope, eh? So what do we know? Well, Fish People is a label set up by Kate in 2011. It has focused on…

Rema is referred to as a runaway and the next obvious superstar of African music, and with the latter, that could very well be true if they aren’t already. Inspired by Wizkid, D’Banj and Burna Boy, it isn’t difficult to imagine Rema hitting the same heights with some ease. There’s a couple of new songs…

REVIEW / THE HORRORS / NIGHT LIFE
With a band name like The Horrors, perhaps it is all a bit much to expect too much cheer on one of their records. With this being 2025, and their first LP arriving in 2007, it seems, The Horrors persist. They’ve ducked and dived in the shadows of their influences for years, touching on garage…

MILEY: HYPNO GLAM
Miley Cyrus has gone and announced her new album with a visual teaser. The LP will be called ‘Something Beautiful’, and it is billed as being something that is ‘hypnotic and glamorous’. It’ll be out May 30th. So what can we glean from the spurts of marketing from it? Well, it does seem to have…

HEY ANDY SHAUF FANS!
Andy Shauf knows his way around a melody, and along the way, has picked up a very dedicated set of fans. He’s got a band called Foxwarren, and they have a new tuneful number out called ‘LISTEN2ME’, and it’s great! There’s going to be a new album too, called ‘2’, which you’ll be able to…

ALL THE YOUNG DROIDS
Look, sometimes you get a press release that’s so good, and so comprehensive, that there’s little point in trying to rewrite it and pass it off as your own. With that in mind, after this opening paragraph, we’ve just cut and pasted the whole thing and you’ll get all the info you need from it.…
