WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Daft Punk are doing a 10th anniversary of ‘Random Access Memories’ and it’s out May 12th. That might be all the info you need. There’s a video at the bottom of this article too. For those who need a little more, it includes nine tracks and 35 minutes of unreleased music. Nice. Available on 3xLP,…

How much do you like ‘Loaded’ by the Velvet Underground? Well, if the answer is ‘FUCKING HELL, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!’ and you have a bucket filled with money, you’re in for a treat! A limited edition vinyl reissue is coming out and has a load of unreleased stuff, words, photos and all that…

So, Spotify – problematic but we all use it – have an announcement or two to make. Most of what they have to say is magnificently dull and will only interest industry writers and tech journos, but there is something in there that will prick up the ears of DJs. You’ll note there was no…

You know Bratmobile right? They’re lumped in with the Riot Grrrl movement, but to us, they were more garage punk than grunge adjacent. Either way, for fans of snotty, smart tunes with fuzzy guitars, it’s good news and they’re going to be playing their first live show in a couple of decades! Great news! Now,…

This is a genuinely lovely bit of news and it doesn’t matter if you’ve heard of Bring Me The Horizon or not. Trust us. Keep reading, it’ll be worth it in the end. What’s going on then? Well, there’s a children’s author called Oliver Sykes. The singer of BMTH is called Oli Sykes. People have…

As Chromeo and A-Trak feature on the song, we considered putting their names in the headline for more Google ranking clout, but decided against it foolishly. Still though, Ric Wilson and Chromeo and A-Trak all on one very, very, very fun new song that will make you wish it was Friday night. It’s retro enough…

The amount of money an artist receives for making music is a hot topic at the moment. Apart from a few at the top, it sincerely looks like a lot of mid-tier and smaller bands simply can’t afford to be musicians, professionally. There’s people playing large gigs who still have office jobs. Whether or not…

If you go on Kate Bush’s website, something’s changed. There, you’ll see a landing page for something called Fish People. Does this mean new music? Let’s not get too excited, but let’s hope, eh? So what do we know? Well, Fish People is a label set up by Kate in 2011. It has focused on…

Rema is referred to as a runaway and the next obvious superstar of African music, and with the latter, that could very well be true if they aren’t already. Inspired by Wizkid, D’Banj and Burna Boy, it isn’t difficult to imagine Rema hitting the same heights with some ease. There’s a couple of new songs…

There’s going to be an anniversary of Queen releasing their first LP, and with that, Radio 2 have asked their listeners to vote on what the group’s best song is. Of course, one of the massive stadium filling songs is going to win, but honestly, someone should rig the vote and have it so something…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

LAUREN MAYBERRY ‘SOMETHING IN THE AIR’
You;l know Lauren Mayberry from the ace Chvrches, but she’s had some really cool solo stuff out and there’s a new one for you called ‘Something In The Air’, which is coming out ahead of the new LP ‘Vicious Creature’. The press release says the album is about “sexuality and empowerment from a profoundly personal…

THE HORRORS ARE BACK, DOOM MERCHANTS
The Horrors are back with a new line-up and after some genuinely great neon coloured synthy bits, they’re back to their gothic roots with a new track called ‘The Silence That Remains’. Of course, there’ll be an album and tour too. You can find dates yourself, but the LP is called ‘Night Life’. So what’s this…

ROBBIE WILLIAMS AS A MONKEY – LOOK
There’s a trailer to look at, which sees Robbie Williams as a monkey. Now, that’s not your average sentence to write, but that’s the score as Robbie has a new biopic coming out, and instead of getting someone to just play him straight, he’s gone for a dollop of fantasy, which admit it – is…

PUNITIVE DAMAGE WITH THAT FUN HARDCORE
Good hardcore will have you sat in your pants at home, imagining running headlong into a crowd of people, limbs flailing around wildly and emerging from the pit with a tooth missing and wanting to go back for. Regardless of whether you’re the kind of person who does that or not, the new Punitive Damage…
