WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The big news is that we’re going to have some new music from The Beatles this year. Will it be great and better than anything they’ve done before? Probably not, but this is still exciting stuff for Fab Four Dorks around the world. We’re excited. Paul McCartney says he’s used artificial intelligence to help create…

We were going to write a piece about the music in the brilliant and often bizarre world of I Think You Should Leave. If you’ve not seen it, then half the memes on the internet probably don’t make a lick of sense to you. Go and watch it. Anyway, we said we were going to…

Hype can be a terrible thing, leaving us plebs feeling like a moment has shot it’s load before you’ve even got a chance to digest the damned thing. In a period where everything has felt frantic, fraught, and fucking shite, we could all do with a dose of something camp and ridiculous to cheer us…

British Blues legend, prog overlord and axe-master, Tony McPhee from The Groundhogs, has sadly passed away. In a FB post on the group’s page, it said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that 79-year-old guitar and blues legend Tony (TS) McPhee, died peacefully at home today 6th June, from complications following a fall last year.”…

Not a thing we thought we’d be writing in a headline, but here we are. Fact is, the pair have been spotted out together a bunch, and obviously, men and women couldn’t possibly be platonic friends without bumping uglies in the mind of everyone, so what’s the craic? After posting some photos on Instagram featuring…

We’re still on holiday, but this tee was too good to not share. If you know Turbo Island, you’ll know that’s the place to get the best music t-shirts when it comes to wit, super fun graphic design, and letting your music nerd flag fly. Silly tees about Italo Disco, Todd Rundgren, Arthur Russell and…

Pip Blom are cool. We liked that album they did. It might have been the last one. They may have done one since then, we don’t know. It doesn’t matter too much because when you hear someone say that a band is cool, you should go and check them out. Stop pretending you’re too busy…

Tove Lo, when she’s on form, is a tour de force. There’s not many better euphoric pop songs than ‘Disco Tits’ and, honestly, there’s not many better euphoric pop song titles better than ‘Disco Tits’ either. She’s had a number of belters (and some we’re less keen on, but we won’t police your thoughts by…

Andrew Gold is a brilliant man and he’s been behind a series of incredible pop songs that are the living embodiment of West Coast perfection. He’s a nepo baby, sure, but we don’t hold it against people who make brilliant things. ‘Thank You For Being A Friend’, ‘Lonely Boy’, ‘Never Let Her Slip Away’, ‘How…

MOO DENG SINGLE IS LIKELY TO GET SHARED MORE THAN YOUR MATES’ BAND
Cute animals sell more than sex does, and that’s a fact. Mums are more likely to share a missing cat post on Facebook than they are likely to tell people to listen to their children’s music they’ve been making. And with that, it’s about to get worse. Viral hippo – Moo Deng – has released…

BIG NOISE AROUND MAXO KREAM
Maxo Kream’s ducking-and-diving storytelling has seen him collab with the likes of Tyler, The Creator and more, and he’s got a new LP out which admittedly, we’ve only skimmed so far – but it feels like there’s a buzz about the Texan which can’t be ignored. From threatening whoever, horny jams and pure shit-talking, the…

PIGSX7 WITH THE HEAVY HEAVY
They’ve got an awkward name, have Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs. You get the impression they’re not arsed about this fact one bit, and besides, everyone’s already writing it down as Pigsx7. Anyway, they have a new heavy track out called ‘Detroit’ and with that, there’s news of a tour. This is the…

GIA FORD WITH THE DRAMA
We don’t know much about Gia Ford, but we heard this new song from her called ‘Earth Return’ and it’s really good. We think this might fall under ‘alt-pop’, but we’re not sure of some of these genres – not that they matter! We’re hearing some gloomy ace old French pop, a smidge of Lana…
