WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool

  • The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x

  • FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FEEL SORRY FOR DAVID GUETTA

    DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a

  • THE OPPOSITE OF NEWS ABOUT FOALS

    It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,

  • MAC DEMARCO IS BACK FOR XMAS

    Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for

  • NEPO BABIES, EH?

    Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article

  • PUSHA T NO LONGER AT G.O.O.D. CAN’T THINK WHY.

    There’s few things as satisfying as Pusha T saying ‘YERGHK!’ in a track. He’s a venomous MC alright and sharp as a tack. He’s also quite the businessman, coming up with the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ for McDonald’s and also, heading up the G.O.O.D. Music label. Of course, that’d be Kanye West’s record label there. Now,

  • TERRY HALL: UNHEARD THING FROM 1985

    It is an unlikely pairing, but Timmy Mallett (yep, that very same one) has unveiled a never-heard-before mix (at least in digital form) of Terry Hall presenting a radio show of songs that mean a great deal to him. Mallett was a DJ on Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio and had a show where he allowed pop

  • XMAS PLAYLIST

    Have you been looking for a Christmas playlist? Doesn’t matter if you like Jesus are not, because it’s basically a secular holiday anyway, what with the amount of booze and gear being done at this most wonderful time of the year. What’s Baileys and beak got to do with a baby being born in the

  • ROBBIE WILLIAMS AS A MONKEY – LOOK

    There’s a trailer to look at, which sees Robbie Williams as a monkey. Now, that’s not your average sentence to write, but that’s the score as Robbie has a new biopic coming out, and instead of getting someone to just play him straight, he’s gone for a dollop of fantasy, which admit it – is…

  • PUNITIVE DAMAGE WITH THAT FUN HARDCORE

    Good hardcore will have you sat in your pants at home, imagining running headlong into a crowd of people, limbs flailing around wildly and emerging from the pit with a tooth missing and wanting to go back for. Regardless of whether you’re the kind of person who does that or not, the new Punitive Damage…

  • IS JADE THIRWALL THE MOST INTERESTING POPSTAR WE HAVE?

    We’ve all seen how tricky the pop landscape is when you go it alone after being in a successful group for years and years. It is by no-means a sure thing and, where new artists may be given the chance to breathe and grow, someone from a successful group comes with the baggage of expectation.…
