WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • WILLIE NELSON + KERMIT ON STAGE

    Willie Nelson played a show in Texas and Kermit the Frog came on stage and they sang ‘Rainbow Connection’ together. Honestly, what more do you need to hear? It’s just about the most wholesome thing you’re going to see. Press play, and marvel at the detail of the puppeteers when they position Kermit’s hand like…

  • BRIAN ENO SHARES EMOTIONAL THING

    There’s a new track from Brian Eno, who you’ll know as That Guy From Roxy Music or Ambient Man. It’s called ‘All I Remember’ and you might not need more information than this, so head to the bottom of the page to press play. For those that like reading, this track is about some of…

  • NIA ARCHIVES WITH DNB NEWIE

    There’s something of a drum ‘n’ bass resurgence afoot, going back to it’s gritty realism after a lot of… well… Chase & Status stadiumstep. With that, Nia Archives who is waiting to drop their full length debut album next month (‘Silence Is Loud’, for the record) has released a single which reminds us of classic…

  • REVIEW / KACEY MUSGRAVES / A DEEPER WELL

    There’s so many things to love about Kacey Musgraves. She was one of the few who made country that felt genuinely modern and progressive, in a sea of pretty chewy stadium country, and with her peers, she mined a more reflective, cosmic, liberal country without painting her views in such gaudy, broad strokes, that it…

  • WATCH BOB JAMES BEING COOL

    Bob James is cool. We all know that. When the GZA sampled ‘Nautilus’ for Ghostface’s ‘Daytona 500′, he knew Bob James was cool. Of course, Bob James’ ‘Angela’ is one of the coolest TV theme tunes of all time, as anyone who watched Taxi will testify. So, with that, we stumbled across a super cool…

  • FABIANA PALLADINO’S CLASSIC POP

    We can’t know everything, so we haven’t previously heard of Fabiana Palladino. We’re going to assume there’s a relation to bass legend Pino Palladino here, but seeing as Pino is a cool guy, we’re not going to go down the nepo route. We get to be hypocritical about these things when we like what we’re…

  • ACE GONZO PERU COMP A GO GO!

    Munster Records don’t half put out some gems, and we’re alerting you to one absolute belter from their catalogue! It’s called ‘Sabroso Go Go’ and, as a whole group, kinda defies pigeonholing, but it’s all super fun and unique! Music from Peru – especially the MAG label – is always worth your time. The label…

  • L’IMPERATRICE SNUCK A NEW SONG OUT

    L’Impératrice are brilliant and pretty much everything they do is that brand of irresistible, smoother than silk, French disco pop. It brings us great joy to say that the new song they’ve quietly put out is exactly that. Now, there’s not a proper video for it yet – only a lyric video – but it…

  • FORMAT ISSUES

    Where have our paragraphs gone? Why are all the words bunched up like that? Look, if we had the answers, we would have fixed it already. It is being looked into. If everything goes screwy, it’s because we’re in the back room shovelling coal and pulling levers and half hoping it fixes itself.

  • REVIEW / CAMILA CABELLO / C,XOXO

    Camila Cabello can’t seemingly catch a break. Whether it’s poor advice or self inflicted is largely a moot point, because the basic kicker is that ‘Havana’ aside, her career has seen her become famous, but not cool. We’ll stay away from the tittle-tattle that may or may not make her a divisive pop figure and…

  • CORNELIUS COSMIC ROCK MASTERPIECE

    For those who know who Cornelius is, you’ll need know introduction. For the rest, he’s one of the finest musicians that Japan has ever produced. To his pals, he’s Keigo Oyamada, and he’s bounced around genres from electronica, to Kosmiche, to music that saw him dubbed the “modern day Brian Wilson”. Whatever he is, you…
