WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Without a note being played, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ had annoyed half the internet thanks to the cover artwork. We’re not here for that, because in Sabrina Carpenter, we’ve got a popstar that’s remember that glittery, camp fun is a thing to rejoice. That’s not to say Carpenter lacks substance, but rather, reading too much into…

Hannah Jadagu is new to us, but never mind all that – we really like her new single called ‘Doing Now’, and you might really like it too! The track will appear on new album – ‘Describe’ – which we can hear in full in October, and released on the mighty Sub Pop, which is…
-
The impact of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ is about as large as sound appearing in movies and TV turning into colour. It’s the song that booted the doors open for rock music. A swirling, technicolour, brain melter of a track, it used tape loops and brilliant imagination to usher in The Beatles psychedelic period, and even…

Remember when the United States of America wasn’t nearly as difficult to look at. Obama was president and while guilty of some Politician Shit, at least he seemed capable, wore the title with a sense of responsibility, and could go for weeks without making any scandalous headlines. Back then, Donald Trump was a noisy conspiracy…

We wrote about the last Automatic release because it was pretty awesome, and now there’s a newer one that’s making us think that we need to keep them in mind, as the next LP might be a total winner. The newest song is called ‘Lazy’ and like the last one, it has a super fun…

keiyaA is a new artist to us, but we gather a previous release was called ‘Camille’s Daughter’, and got decent reviews. Well, this is the first new music since then, and it is one of the most luxurious, rich R&B tracks we’ve heard in ages. The new song goes by the title ‘Stupid Prizes’ and…

Choosing what music you’d have played at your funeral is a fun game, if you’re the kind of person who likes making arbitrary lists of tunes while you’re sat on the sofa or down the pub. If you’re reading about music for no good reason, chances are you’re one of those people. So what do…

We wrote a love letter to Tatyana’s album and redux, because frankly, there’s other artists getting their flowers when she was basically in there first. Not everyone has major label promo money, so it’s important we yell about the great music she’s releasing. Thankfully, she keeps putting out cool stuff, and now there’s ‘Overdue’ which…

Look, it doesn’t matter if you heard ‘Police Truck’ by the Dead Kennedys via Tony Hawk, a punk club in the ’80s, or any particular place – it’s essential listening whenever it hits you. With that, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard got DK’s Jello Biafra on stage with them to perform the legendary track,…
-
Well, we predicted it, along with all the other Beatles fans who had been keeping their eye on things. There’s going to be a remastered Anthology documentary on Disney+, cleaned up records, and also, a reissue of the weighty and brilliant Anthology book. Pre-orders are go, so if you’re looking for CDs or LP boxsets,…

AMYL + THE SNIFFERS UNCENSORED VIDEO
Amyl and the Sniffers have a new video out and there’s a lot of nudity in it. It’s the kind of video that, if you’re getting your knickers in a twist about it, then you’re the kind of uptight tool that could probably do with a bit of skinny dipping to sort yourself out. First,…

MUSIC TO VARNISH OWLS BY
Who doesn’t love a bit of library funk? Well, the ace folks at Be With are putting out Geoff Bastow’s (library legend) ‘Music To Varnish Owls By’, which honestly, is one of the finest album titles you’re likely to ever hear in your life. Thankfully, the music is every bit as good. This is one…

BOSSA INDIE FROM MEI SEMONES
If you’re a fan of cute indie pop with a twist, you’re in luck. This here, is a new song from Mei Semones and we’re hearing flickers of bossa nova and jazz mixed into her sound. Mei released an EP earlier in the year called ‘Kabutomushi EP’ which regrettably, passed us by. We’re off to…

NIRVANA PLAY IN A RADIO SHACK
Look, we don’t know how this is new to us, but here’s a great video of Nirvana – pre Nevermind – playing in a Radio Shack and it’s adorable as hell. What else is left to say? Just watch the video already.
