WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

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.

Sometimes, someone does the work for us and all we have to do is simply point you in the direction of it. In this instance, it’s an interesting enough video (which has pretty protestant tastes, but we’ll let it slide) about the death of the double album. Now, there are 2xLPs in existence now, but

After saying that she wasn’t bothered about the prestige of a needless arena tour, Chrissie Hynde is brilliantly speaking her mind again because she doesn’t give a fuck. We say that as a compliment. Now, Hynde has got under the skins of some wet-wipes this week because she’s asked fans not to continually command the

‘Reset’ with Panda Bear and Sonic Boom was very warmly received by the psychedelic heads. Good news is that Panda Bear is back with new music, this time with ‘Defense’ featuring Cindy Lee. This is part of a new LP called ‘Sinister Grift;, which is coming out in February with the mighty Domino Records. Co-pro’d

We’ve been really excited about the new album from the brilliant Dora Morelenbaum for a while now. With previous releases, we were reminded of the spirited bossa of the likes of Joyce Moreno and Caetano Veloso at his quieter, more poetic moments. However, on hearing ‘Caco’, the new work promised a broader spectrum of sounds

It’s so obviously sad when a young person dies, and aged 31 years old, Liam Payne was no age at all. Whether or not it’s been apparent that Payne has been struggling in recent months, the fact is that, aside from his time in One Direction, his solo work and the fact that he’s spent

Moog synths are great. They simultaneously sound like the future and the past, and everyone rightly loves them. So with that, the Capstone Theatre in Liverpool is going to have a series of celebrations to mark the 60th anniversary of the legendary instrument. If you’re not interested in any more words from us and are

Def.fo has been sneaking out some cool popsike and the good news for you that, later this month there’s going to be an album you can get stuck into called ‘Music for Dinosaurs’. The first single from it is called ‘Out Of This World’ and that’s already out and you can listen to it below!

If you’ve been reading the music press this week, there was some alarm or peevish glee (depending on where you were doing your reading) that vinyl sales had dropped. A Billboard piece stated that vinyl sales dropped by 33%, which is not insignificant. That’s selling 34.9 million units, down to 23.3 million in 2024. Are

Daniel Johnston’s ‘Artistic Vice’ LP is going to be reissued and it’ll come with some new – or rather, previously unreleased – music attached to it as well, which is cool for fans! The redo will be out on October 18th, and it’s not just a case of one or two alternative versions of songs

WE DIDN’T KNOW HAIRCUT 100 WERE BACK
Very few of us are immune to a blast of breezy, pure pop. Or is it power pop? Whatever it is, we were very pleasantly surprised to find that Haircut 100 had returned with Nick Heyward and pals, with a new track called ‘The Unloving Plum’. With some very lovely horns, jangly guitars and loads…

CAN WE JUST STOP WITH THIS NOW?
Look. We get it. It’s nigh on impossible to get people to get people to talk and read about music. And this is not a boring hit job on the sensation that is Taylor Swift – she’s musically fine, and all. But c’mon. Do we need this?

REVIEW / THE JUNIPERS / IMAGINARY FRIENDS
When the world finds itself in dark times, art responds in a number of ways – one of the valuable replies to the horror of it all is the chance to escape. Lately, there’s been a number of great songs and albums that deal in dissolving your troubles away or living in pursuit of pleasure.…

CROWDFUNDER FOR ASHLEY BEEDLE
Ashley Beedle’s involvement with X-Press 2, being namechecked in Daft Punk’s ‘Teachers’, sending Elton John’s ‘Are You Ready For Love?’ to number one, and decades of wonderful, rafters rattling DJ sets means that no-one should be in any doubt that he’s one of the legends of dance music. And when a legend needs your help,…
