WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You know Crazy Town don’t you? Come my lady, come, come my lady lol. Anyway, we’re not arsed about their music and we’re assuming you’re not either. An embarrassing, ugly fist-fight? COUNT US IN! You’ve probably already seen this, but it’s the weekend and we’ve gone to the pub and just scheduled this. The singers…

Rico Nasty makes mega fun club hip hop, and once again, we see they’re in a tagteam with 100 Gecs, so we’re in for a whole load of trouble as usual! The new track is called ‘Turn It Up’, and seeing as Rico Nasty coined the phrase ‘sugar trap’ about her music, it’s funny that…

There’s a new LP due from Yussef Dayes called ‘Black Classic Music’ on September 8th, and if you’re a head on the UK jazz scene currently, you’ll be more than aware of the swirl around the percussionist right now. Expect some heavy, heavy music for sure. Yussef Dayes, in jazzer form, shared his thoughts: “What…

Kesha’s time with Dr Luke will go down in music history as one of the most troubling chapters we’ve seen, at least in recent years. There’ll be documentaries about it, for sure. Go acquaint yourself if you haven’t already, but get comfy, because there’s a lot to bone up with. If you know already, then…

Ace new group of evil-doers, Deaf Whip, have released a tremendously stylish and sexy live session for you to be summoned by. Deaf Whip are the child of all manner of great shit, and in this you’ll hear psychedelic drone, heavy heavy fuzz, brutalist electronic analogue doom, goth punk, and so much more. A co-pro…

‘Sound of the Underground’ on vinyl? Lovely coloured vinyl? What’s not to love about that, Girls Aloud fans? It’s the 20th anniversary of the LP, and you can pre-order it and then when it eventually arrives at your house, you can hold it like it’s your first born child. Order it via the Girls Aloud…

We were listening to ‘Come On, Eileen’ by Dexy’s the other day, and for the first time ever, wondered what that opening line was all about. If you’re not familiar, its: “Poor old Johnnie Ray; sounded sad upon the radio, moved a million hearts in mono. Our mothers cried, sang along, who’d blame them?“ That’s…

You probably love Thundercat already and, unless you’re some precise age that actively hates the popularity of Tame Impala because you were annoyed at all your classmates liking them when you were ranting and raving about The Cramps or something, you probably quite like a couple of Tame Impala tracks. Well, the two have teamed…

To many, Harry Belafonte is the singer of wonderful songs, such as ‘Jump In The Line (Shake Señora)’ which featured prominently in Beetlejuice. To others, he’s a civil rights activist and all-round legend. He was a well respected actor too. All of these things are fair, as we bid a very fond farewell to one…

Yes, we understand that we led with quite the headline there, but this is a wild story that is going to require some working out. We could’ve added that we think Pras Michel might be representing himself as well, just for a bit of added MENTALNESS. So, what’s going on and will we get sued…

AZCHIKE WITH THE NEW BAP
A recent appearance on the new Kendrick LP, ‘GNX’, isn’t going to anyone’s appeal any harm. So with that, after a guestie, West Coast’s AZChike has released a new track while the iron is hot. It’s a clatterer and goes by the name of ‘Love Yo Weapons’, and you can hear it below. —

MACCA’S ALIEN MUSICAL
Nothing should surprise us when it comes to Paul McCartney’s creativity. The man has been making LPs bursting with ideas and songs that switch pace halfway through, making you wonder just how much weed he was smoking at any given time. Sometimes, it’s a playful spirit, sometimes, you can actively hear his attention span being…

NEW RAWK FROM SHARON VAN ETTEN
Sharon Van Etten has a new outfit with The Attachment Theory, so sorry for making it sound like a solo cut with the headline, there. No matter, it’s a fine slab of molten rock ‘n’ synth which comes from the group’s debut LP. The track is called ‘Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)’ and…

GIRLPUPPY NEW ONE IS DREAMY
It is stylised as girlpuppy, but it is the project of Becca Harvey, who has release her first single called ‘Champ’, which is a pretty dreamy, melodic slice of indie pop. The video mildly belies the sound, being boxing themed, but it’s sure fun to watch. If you like shoegaze, but not the super derivative…
