WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Nick Cave eh? Like, he’s really loved. Not everyone loves him of course – who is entirely loved? Certain pockets of the internet have turned on David Attenborough, so y’know, who stands a chance? Anyway, we’re not that bothered about Nick Cave’s music so we’re not going to try and cancel him here (over his

Like futuristic music? Like jazz? Well, LA’s High Pulp may well have just the thing for you with their new track called ‘(If You Don’t Leave) The City Will Kill You’. Optimistic title, that. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Days In The Desert’ in July. They’re a collective so there’s loads of

We’ll keep this brief because not everything has to be a bloody essay. Fact is, if you love David Bowie and you love the Pet Shop Boys, these few words won’t swerve you one jot. Wonderful Neil Tennant has recalled bumping into David Bowie at the Brits in the ’90s. He said: “I remember him

![ED SHEERAN MIGHT QUIT MUSIC [JOKES + SERIOUS STUFF]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ed-sheeran.webp?w=1024)
Ed Sheeran has said that he might knock the whole music thing on the head if he loses his case in a copyright infringement trial. Are we going to joke about this? Of course we are, because partly, it’s funny in a lowest common denominator way. However, there’s a serious point in all of this

Like looking at ace 70s graphic design? Cool fonts? You’re in luck. You’ll have to not sneer at Richard Nixon briefly, but you’re a grown up, you’ll manage. Here’s a great, short video that should set you off down some graphic design wormholes.

You know Crazy Town don’t you? Come my lady, come, come my lady lol. Anyway, we’re not arsed about their music and we’re assuming you’re not either. An embarrassing, ugly fist-fight? COUNT US IN! You’ve probably already seen this, but it’s the weekend and we’ve gone to the pub and just scheduled this. The singers

Rico Nasty makes mega fun club hip hop, and once again, we see they’re in a tagteam with 100 Gecs, so we’re in for a whole load of trouble as usual! The new track is called ‘Turn It Up’, and seeing as Rico Nasty coined the phrase ‘sugar trap’ about her music, it’s funny that

There’s a new LP due from Yussef Dayes called ‘Black Classic Music’ on September 8th, and if you’re a head on the UK jazz scene currently, you’ll be more than aware of the swirl around the percussionist right now. Expect some heavy, heavy music for sure. Yussef Dayes, in jazzer form, shared his thoughts: “What

Kesha’s time with Dr Luke will go down in music history as one of the most troubling chapters we’ve seen, at least in recent years. There’ll be documentaries about it, for sure. Go acquaint yourself if you haven’t already, but get comfy, because there’s a lot to bone up with. If you know already, then

Ace new group of evil-doers, Deaf Whip, have released a tremendously stylish and sexy live session for you to be summoned by. Deaf Whip are the child of all manner of great shit, and in this you’ll hear psychedelic drone, heavy heavy fuzz, brutalist electronic analogue doom, goth punk, and so much more. A co-pro

PEGGY GOU’S NEW BOP
Peggy Gou is a goodtime producer and the South Korean DJ and music-maker has a new bop out which is perfect for the incoming good weather. It’s called ‘Lobster Telephone’ (inspired by the Dali piece, you’d assume) and is taken from her imminent debut LP on XL Records called ‘I Hear You’. Of the new…

IBIZA BOOZE BAN IS OKAY BECAUSE EVERYONE IS ON DRUGS ANYWAY
The Balearics have long been a destination for partygoers and obviously, that comes with its own unique set of problems. Notably, the problems come in the shape of people drinking too much in the lovely weather and then passing out in the street, puking on street corners, getting in scraps and falling asleep in clubs.…

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO REMI WOLF’S ALBUM
Shamefully, we forgot to write about Remi Wolf’s brilliant single ‘Cinderella’ and we’ve been hoarding it to ourselves since it got released, bumping along to its New Wave-ish version of modern pop. It’s infectious stuff and Remi is an infectious individual who, with all things being fair in the world, could be the pop star…
