WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
No new releases. No news. We’ll have to be patient because we can’t be making stuff up.

There’s people who will go to war for Glastonbury, telling you that there’s just nowhere like it. In terms of size, that’s arguably true. However, scope aside, once you’ve been to a bunch of festivals, it’s hard to see what makes it so special, aside from the countless people telling you how special it all…

Mr Balearic himself, DJ Alfredo, has sadly left us after being one of the most influential people in dance music’s history. He was 71 and leaves a huge ray of sunshine behind him, which the rest of the DJing world has been basking in ever since. Born in Argentina, Alfredo ended up in Ibiza and…

We’re going to take some time off for Christmas and New Year. We might sporadically post, we might not. It’s all good right? Hope you enjoy the end of year lists and round-ups. Go buy some records from a local indie or website and treat yourself. See you properly in 2025.

You’ll know Julien Baker from BOYGENIUS and their own career, but now it’s time to give that good ol’ country music a go – rather, road movie, alt country fun stuff, teaming up with Torres. It reminds us a bit of that classic period Wilco stuff, which is no bad thing. Moreso, reminds us of…
-
Arbitrary lists are no good, really. However, it is nice to praise musicians and the work they’ve done. They may never see the praise on a site as small as this one, but if we send good vibes out into the ether and at least some of you give them a listen, and maybe buy…

We could write a load of stuff about this, but there’s very little point when the contents of the video are so fun and wholesome that it speaks for itself. THUNDERCAT! YO GABBA GABBA! NPR TINY DESK! Press play immediately!

Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be…

Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like…

Do you like Kaytranada? Well, if you’re a European reader, the good news is that he’ll be doing a tour around Europe, which gives you the opportunity to shake your backside. Great stuff. This is part of the ‘Timeless Tour’, and this relates to the LP he released in Summer. Honestly, all these words are…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

MORE PSYCH FROM MATT BERRY
There’s no many like Matt Berry. Not to say that he doesn’t work hard for his money, but he certainly leads a charmed life being one of our most beloved actors, but also, singer of fine psychedelic music. He’s tackled acid folk, West Coast loveliness, and he also did a cover LP of TV themes,…

BYE BYE ANITA BRYANT
Anita Bryant may have been nominated for Grammys, landed the gong of being Miss Oklahoma and had a number of hit singles, but that’s not why she’s remembered, now that she’s dead. Bryant was an outspoken campaigner AGAINST gay rights in the USA, under the thin premise of ‘protecting’ children and the usual hackneyed talking…

JADE IS NOT MESSING AROUND
Jade Thirlwall continues to be an absolute treat as her solo career continues in the cuntiest of manners. We’ve already sung her praises, wondering if she’s the most interesting popstar we have, and this single only underlines that notion a little harder. She’s got a new single out called ‘IT Girl’ and it’ll be on…

ICE SPICE AND LESSONS IN BLOWING IT
Oh how times change. Early on, on these pages we wrote that we were really in the mood for a silly, party rapper who didn’t take themselves too seriously. We said we ‘needed’ Ice Spice, not because she was a generational talent, but rather, a cocky, young, irreverent thing who looked kinda cool and made…
