WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’re going to take some time off for Christmas and New Year. We might sporadically post, we might not. It’s all good right? Hope you enjoy the end of year lists and round-ups. Go buy some records from a local indie or website and treat yourself. See you properly in 2025.

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’,…

NEW CHEEKY BANGER FROM HONEY DIJON
Sometimes, what you really need is an uplifting, catchy, poppy House track to lift your spirits and your mood. One of the finest purveyors of this kind of thing is the legendary Honey Dijon, who has donned her producer hat with a gem of a new track. She’s releasing a new album, aptly called ‘Nightlife’,…

MIXCLOUD ROUND-UP MARCH
Here’s the first in what promises to be a sporadic round-up of some of the best shows that have cropped up on Mixcloud. We’re not on the payroll, but we’re hard-pressed to find a better platform for true music lovers sharing their radio shows and mixes for free for those who need ’em. There’s a…

HEAVY PSYCH FROM THE JUNIPERS
We have already played the new, brilliant track from The Junipers on our radio show. If you tuned in, you’ll know just how fabulous it is to have the greatest band in the world making music again. If you didn’t, don’t worry. The Leicester band have released a video for ‘When She Turns’. The group…

LA SÉCURITÉ DANCE-PUNK
We don’t know how we stumbled across the music of La Sécurité, but we did and played them on our latest radio show, not knowing that there was new music coming out – which it totally is, and we have some to share right here! The Canadian group make an infectious, post-punk-but-danceable racket, and have…
