WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s been a lot of talk about artificial intelligence and, honestly, despite only being a matter of weeks old, we’ve considered getting AI to write all our articles for us, because sometimes it seems that social media is made mostly of bot accounts, so we may as well them them all talk to each other,
-
It is funny how society ends up accepting what they once thought was evil and scary. Look at Iron Maiden – once accused of being satan worshippers and slaughtering your daughter and all that. Now, they’ve got their own beer and one of them flies other celebrities on his plane and all that. Now, they’re
-
You’ve seen Daft Punk without their masks on right? You’re either old enough and saw them live before they got famous enough to afford their fancy robot personas, or you’ve used the internet before and have a curious mind. If not, and it never occurred to you to have a search – good for you

If you’ve been pining over some cutnpaste goodtime house adjacent music, where are you going to go apart from maybe your old Avalanches LP, Ross From Friends, and maybe some lo-fi mixes on YouTube? Well, turns out theres a mysterious new artist on the block with a wilfully silly name that we can’t get mad

You’re one of the most famous singer songwriters on the planet, and you bustle into a record store late night, and you’re Neil Young holding bootleg copies of stuff you’re on. Hoo boy. The video below is exactly that, and the guy behind the counter is a genuinely great supporting character, seemingly not fussed that
-
Yungblud thinks sex will “save the world”, while also very much having a nose like a two-pin plug. The singer, who you look at and just want to poke a travel adapter in before you trying charging your phone up, insists that the “expression and freedom” of making sweet, sweet shags, is a sure fire
-
Rita Ora’s life seems exhausting, honestly. Like treading water, she has to keep the grind up possibly more than a lot of her peers, from which you can draw your own conclusions. Her work ethic is very strong, that much is clear, as she scrambles over the bones of pop and celebrity culture. Does anyone

It is incredibly easy to be mildly irritated by Taylor Swift, but no-one is forcing anyone to like or dislike her here, because we’re not really talking about her music or her personality here. This is something else. This is about records, and buying LPs is good. Her recent LP ‘Midnights’ – which we haven’t
-
‘Cult Survivor’ by Sofie was a really good album. Well, slightly redubbed as Sofie Royer and now in pierrot make-up, she’s at it again being great, with her ‘Harlequin’ LP. In 2022, it seems silly to start describing what she does when you can just click on the video below or indeed, give it a

Born in a Derbyshire village in 1941, little did the residents of the High Peak village know that a legend had been born. Vivienne Westwood left Tintwistle for the big smoke to attend art school, but she only lasted one term, because frankly, formal training wasn’t needed for what she was about to give the

IS THIS REALLY THE SWIFTIES VS TECH BROS VOTE IN THE USA?
The presidential race in the USA has a lot hanging on it, for sure, but regardless of that, the whole thing has made for some really good TV. It always does, because one thing the Americans love, is making great television. A thick line has been drawn and either side of it stand two candidates…

WAVY RAP FROM BABYFACE RAY
A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA: SCARY FANS
MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns…

INDIE FUZZ FROM GIRL SCOUT
If you’re in the market for some seriously fun indie fuzz pop, then you will like the new song from Swedish group Girl Scout, who just so happen to have told everyone that they’ve got a new EP coming out. The EP is called ‘Headache’ and it’ll be out in November (where did the year…
