WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You’ll know Julien Baker from BOYGENIUS and their own career, but now it’s time to give that good ol’ country music a go – rather, road movie, alt country fun stuff, teaming up with Torres. It reminds us a bit of that classic period Wilco stuff, which is no bad thing. Moreso, reminds us of…
-
Arbitrary lists are no good, really. However, it is nice to praise musicians and the work they’ve done. They may never see the praise on a site as small as this one, but if we send good vibes out into the ether and at least some of you give them a listen, and maybe buy…

We could write a load of stuff about this, but there’s very little point when the contents of the video are so fun and wholesome that it speaks for itself. THUNDERCAT! YO GABBA GABBA! NPR TINY DESK! Press play immediately!

Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be…

Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like…

Do you like Kaytranada? Well, if you’re a European reader, the good news is that he’ll be doing a tour around Europe, which gives you the opportunity to shake your backside. Great stuff. This is part of the ‘Timeless Tour’, and this relates to the LP he released in Summer. Honestly, all these words are…

Streaming is hugely popular and, on the strength of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped graphics to social media platforms, it doesn’t look like it will be going anywhere, anytime soon. Or is it? In the immediacy, Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest, won’t be worrying too much as they continue to rake in cash, left,…

If you’re into Jazzanova, or even Todd Terje or Nu Genea, then here’s something you should get your chops around – the new single from Roi Turbo. The pair are two brothers who go by the name of Benjamin and Conor McCarthy, and they make the kind of music that crosses over out of the…

Shygirl really doesn’t miss, and has been making some killer party music for a while now. Unsurprisingly, she was invited to open for Charli XCX, to light the touch paper on Brat Summer. We like Shygirl in bouncy hip-house mode the best, so with the announcement of a new EP called ‘Club Shy Room 2’,…

A recent appearance on the new Kendrick LP, ‘GNX’, isn’t going to anyone’s appeal any harm. So with that, after a guestie, West Coast’s AZChike has released a new track while the iron is hot. It’s a clatterer and goes by the name of ‘Love Yo Weapons’, and you can hear it below. —
STOP HOARDING TUNES

UNRELEASED GEORGE HARRISON
George Harrison’s estate have been busy and put out an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) (Take 18)’ and now, we get an unreleased version of ‘Be Here Now’ for the anniversary of ‘Living in the Material World’. The LP was basically the album that paid for his Concert for…

MASTURBATING IN A COFFIN
Look, it’s not every day you get to write that as a headline, but when you see it as a song title like we did, you’re compelled to find out more. What we were faced with was Elita’s chaotic song that combines cutesy dream pop with shrieking industrialism. Elita is apparently an ‘Instagram model’, but…

NICE SONG FROM ALESSIA CARA
Remember when Alessia Cara burst onto the pop scene with the moody and cool ‘Here’? She was just an itty bitty thing then, but she’s growing musically and it’s a good thing. The new song is called ‘(Isn’t It) Obvious’ and it’s nice to see some brackets in a song title, but more importantly, it’s…

SOMEONE FAMOUS WATCHING MOTORHEAD, LOOK!
We were watching an old clip of Motorhead playing on Top of the Pops, and that’s a fun thing all by itself… but someone else sprang out at us While the assembled crowd seemed mildly bewildered at the sight of adrenaline filled rock n roll in the studio, to the right of the stage in…
