WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Chaka Khan has taken the gloves off and thrown immense shade at Mariah Carey and Adele. Now, if you’re visiting from some awful stan account or the point of view of a MEGA FAN, then go away already. See, this is pop music. We’re hear to have fun. We’re hear to enjoy the cattiness. Someone…
-
They’re a Japanese psychedelic band and based in Montreal and they’re called TEKE:TEKE and if that isn’t one of the most flatly factual openings to an article, we don’t know what is. Anyway, not to say we aren’t excited by this new song by them called ‘Garakuta’ – a fried, fuzz wig-out and is delightfully…
-
Kara Jackson has been doing cool things and it’s hard to pin down exactly what that is in a catchy headline. She’s got a cinematic way with words and on a new track, a killer backdrop of Morricone/Ry Cooder dusty twang. It’s dead good. The new track (we’ll get to that in a minute) will feature…
-
Listen, we shouldn’t give Alex Jones and people like him the time of day. However, sometimes, it’s really funny to talk about them, so we will. And REM’s Mike Mills (who, incidentally, sang REM’s best song ‘Near Wild Heaven’) is on one. Alex Jones has been in a lot of legal bother recently with Info…
-
Drake – possibly pouting somewhere because when is he not slightly pursing his lips – is showing a little remorse for something. Very unlike him that. And ting. So what’s up with him now? Well, he’s said that he regrets mentioning the names of his exes in his music. Appearing on the premiere episode of…

Natural Information Society have a new tune out if you’re in the mood for getting heavy with yourself and flipping your wig. If you’re not aware of them, they’ve been described as “ecstatic minimalism”, which basically means ‘kinda jazz’. They’re from Chicago and that’s always a good sign with these things. A new LP called ‘Since…

Not every day is a news day. Maybe some will happen later? Who knows? Not us. Either way, that’s no excuse for us to not post something. There’s always a blank box that needs filling with some words and a thing, right? With that, we’ve been really enjoying this Argentinian jazz LP by Jorge Lopez…

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…

DEJ LOAF AND THE 80S BOOGIE RAP
‘Try Me’ by Dej Loaf was one of the best underground hip hop smashes when it was released back in 2014, and other hits followed. However, Dej kinda vanished for a while, quietly slipping away and presumably recalibrating. It seemed that, for all intents and purposes, she was done with The Industry. Well, lately, she’s…

NEW MUSIC FROM THE UNTHANKS
The folk tradition is something that is always alive and well, and concerning The Unthanks, ever more so. Good news then, that they have a new double album coming out called ‘The Unthanks in Winter’. Appropriately you’ll be able to get hold of it and hear it on November 29th and there’s a song you…

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,…
