WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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
-
Hard Feelings, we think, is Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Amy Doublas. We’d check, but we have to check everything at the minute and it’s tiring. You can just watch the video below, wish it was Friday night already, and then do your own research for once. This is called ‘Dangerous’ and is a remix

REVIEW / REMI WOLF / BIG IDEAS
Remi Wolf seems to be someone who thought about putting all her ideas and buoyancy on a tight leash, but soon found out that it was impossible and they all just erupted out of the top of her head. On stage, she’s infectious and with so much energy that it can feel like watching someone…

GET WELL SOON ROD ARGENT
You already know who Rod Argent is – songwriter extraordinaire, keyboardist, and founder of the achingly wonderful group, The Zombies. Rod is going to immediately retire from the touring life after suffering a stroke, and we’d just like to wish him good health. Argent and the Zombies management team made an announcement, which you can…

NEW KING GIZ
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is a silly band name, but that’s cool and they know it. They are a prolific band and there’s no-one quite like them as they veer from psych, to metal, to prog, to whatever else takes their fancy. They have a new album coming out called ‘FLIGHT b741’, and of…

KATY PERRY IS CONFUSING AND NOT IN A FUN WAY
The annoying section of music fans who insist on saying ‘album cycle’ and ‘eras’ will be having a field day today as Katy Perry has released a new song, which signifies the start of her new ‘album cycle’ or ‘era’. It’s viral marketing talk for ‘having a new record out’, and of course, when there’s…
