WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
‘Cult Survivor’ by Sofie was a really good album. Well, slightly redubbed as Sofie Royer and now in pierrot make-up, she’s at it again being great, with her ‘Harlequin’ LP. In 2022, it seems silly to start describing what she does when you can just click on the video below or indeed, give it a

Born in a Derbyshire village in 1941, little did the residents of the High Peak village know that a legend had been born. Vivienne Westwood left Tintwistle for the big smoke to attend art school, but she only lasted one term, because frankly, formal training wasn’t needed for what she was about to give the

We can’t imagine we’ll be featuring a huge amount of ice hockey on these pages, but then again, how many surprisingly good disco LPs are based around tips from a professional hockey player? Guy LaFleur died in 2022, and was a Canadian hockey legend, and he once released an LP where he gave training advice

90s hip hop fans can be very irritating indeed BUT we shouldn’t let gatekeeping Old Heads stop us enjoying the music right? Right. So with that, A Tribe Called Quest are great aren’t they? They never seem to be in the conversation when people are talking about Who Is Best, even when that conversation is

More new music which is great that we won’t talk about too much initially, because you can ignore us and just listen to it below. However, for enthusiasm and padding an article out’s sake, Nala Sinephro is fantastic. It’s part ambient, part jazz, all fantastic. It’ll make you feel like you’re in one of those

The price of things are going up, but wages aren’t. It’s a thing that always happens when anyone in any position of power naively believes in trickle down economics. The fact is – and we all know this – rich folk like hoarding their money or spending it on themselves. Add a host of other

You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool

The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x

DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a

VIDEO ESSAY: WIPEOUT’S RAVE SOUNDTRACK
Wipeout was a behemoth of a video game, which saw gamers racing anti-gravity vehicles at breakneck speed on the PlayStation. That’s fun and all but that’s not the whole story. See, anyone who remembers it and liked to have their weekends chemically altered, they knew that Wipeout had one of the most banging soundtracks of…

CELEBRATE THE FRENCH FASH FAILURE WITH THIS MR OIZO SET
Any excuse to share a banger of a set (and in places, utterly undefinable and gonzo) from one of the finest Frenchmen to ever live, Mr Oizo. There’s big 4/4s, disco, pop, broken electronics, fierce edits and super crunchy synths galore. Fuckin’ magnifique!

IS THERE NOT ENOUGH ROCK FOR GLASTONBURY?
Are you one of those people who thinks of festivals as things that belong to rock music still? Well, times have changed. From the ’90s onward, Glastonbury embraced dance music, hip hop and increasingly erred on the side of pop music. Of course, glancing at the line-up for the 2024 show, it’s not like rock…
