WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Legend of US roots rock and cosmic country, JD Souther has left the building aged of 78. Souther was best known for co-writing some of the Eagles biggest smashes – ‘Heartache Tonight’ and ‘New Kid In Town’, and he also worked with Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Christopher Cross, and the Chicks. Souther was

Supergrass have announced that they’re going to tour ‘I Should Coco’ in full, but the statement includes a very fun jab at Oasis and the promise of non-Coco hits too. Let us explain. They’re going to celebrate the anniversary of ‘I Should Coco’ which includes the perfect ‘Lenny’, and of course, smash hit ‘Alright’, by
-
The longest face in pop music is at it again, using the classic grift of being ‘gagged’ and everyone apparently being against them. Seeing as Morrissey has been saying problematic stuff since the mid ’80s, you’ve only yourself to blame for any feelings of disappointment you have as a Smiths fan. While Johnny Marr manages
-
A new album from Looking Suite is as welcome as throwing the windows open in the middle of gorgeous weather, and as we waddle out of Summer and into Autumn, we find ourselves pressing play on ‘Wide Range Dream State’ – the newest long player from our favourite ambient, post-noodle, neo-prog leaning guy. Released on

TSHA has a new song out called ‘Green’ and its ace! It’s a dancer, but it’s an emotional affair too – just what we like to see! There’s nothing quite like an emotional banger, right? She says: “Me and my partner were in the studio together, about to write something. He was getting on my nerves,
-
A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!
-
Men I Trust – it’s been a while. The last thing they put out was back in 2021 when they released their ‘Untourable Album’, which went down very well with everyone. Of course, there’s been dribs and drabs, and last year they put out the ace ‘Ring of Past’, but now, they’re back with a

The Green Child are an Aussie group that went from two members to four (apologies for the old picture, then) and they have a really cool new single out called ‘Wow Factor’ which reminds us of loads of good stuff made by loads of other cool and unique bands. Seriously, we’re into it! There’s a
-
Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re
-
Allegra Krieger has a new album out called ‘Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine’, and you’ll be able to hear that tomorrow in fact! Below is the final single that preempts it, and it’s really cool. We really liked another single she released in the build-up to this – here – which was a neat

EUROVISION PRESSURE CONTINUES
Israel’s participation in Eurovision continues to create woes for the song contest organisers as countries boycott the summer event due to take place from May 12th at Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria. This of course, feels very much like a problem entirely of the making of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) themselves, given that they’ve stopped the likes of Russia…

KINKS TEA
You’ve heard ‘Afternoon Tea’ by The Kinks, right? You should’ve as it’s great. Obviously, since the band were stopped from entering the United States for a host of reasons, where the soft Yanks would have such hooligans in town while Woodstock was on, The Kinks leaned into their Englishness. The albums during that period were…

FREE RANGE / BEST OF 2025
That’s it – we’ve basically completed 2025, so save a few surprise drops, all we have to do now is dig into Christmas music and familiar party songs on the work’s do and down the local. It’s good stuff, whether you celebrate god or not. You’ve read the round-up of songs, now it is time…

DAWN RICHARD REMAINS UNIQUE
R&B is obviously a much more broad church than people give the genre credit for, but it almost seems unfair to brand Dawn Richard’s music that tag. And she’s at it again, being one of the most unique and interesting artists around right now. “The track is the kind of confidence that only I can…
