WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Hey Macca fans! There’s going to be a feature documentary that looks at Paul McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles. That’s the cool solo bits, Wings, and his life with Linda McCartney, and obviously, an insane amount of incredible music. We’re promised a lot of never-seen-before archive of Paul and Linda’s home videos…

Pop Corps are gigantic Steely Dan fans. Let’s just get that out of the way. Now, Steve Albini says he hates Steely Dan. Time to get the claws out and start bringing up the fact that Steve Albini was in a band called Rapeman and all that, right? Time to outline exactly why Steely Dan…

One of our favourite, favourite music project is back with more music. If you haven’t heard Looking Suite, then you’re missing out on some really wonderful ambient, post-noodle, psychedelic improv, nu-age, dream-chug music. It’s hard to pin down what it is exactly, but you’ll feel like you’re hovering while it’s on, and it’s magic. The…

Pink Floyd – they’ve always got on so well with each other haven’t they? We joke of course, but any hope for a reunion have been well and truly booted to death this week. Polly Samson, author and wife of Dave Gilmour, have been tweeting. We’ll link to her tweet. Then to Gilmour’s quote tweet.…

If you’re very knowledgable about music and go on about it, there’s no telling you anything. For the rest of everyone, there’s a new app that you might like! You might not! We’re not your real dad. Anyway, an app. So, there’s a new app out that’s called Rewind and what it intends to do…

There’s a lot of musicians and bands that haven’t been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and when you read the latest list of nominations, you’ll be like “THEY’RE NOT ALREADY IN THERE?!?!” This year, up for the award… and unbelievably not already in there, are Kate Bush, George Michael, Missy Elliott…

Yves Tumor isn’t quite like anyone else around at the moment, but one thing we do know is that the music they’ve been making is undeniably sexy. Good too, mind you. Future glam mixed with Prince’s grimier moments, with a dollop of psychedelics thrown in. It’s fun stuff. Well, good news pop fans, there’s going…

Hey! Vic Mensa has teamed up with Thundercat and singer Maeta on a new track called ‘Strawberry Louis Vuitton’, which is good news isn’t it? We like them. Not so much Louis Vuitton, but that’s not through any moral stance – rather – we haven’t ever been able to afford it so it doesn’t mean…

There’s a gorgeous new record you need by Tokyo’s Arimoto and it’s called ‘Acacia y Suministro de Agua’. Part folk, part psych, part post-rock, all ace, you’ll like this no doubt. You can just listen to it below if you won’t take our word for it. All recorded in glorious analogue, this is a private…

You know James Acaster from the TV and clips of him rinsing Ricky Gervais don’t you? A ball of nervous energy in a tracksuit top, famed for his Bake Off failures and his wild ride on Taskmaster. He’s a funny, smart fella. He’s also in a 40 piece collective called Temps, which sees Acaster in…

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,…
