WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Aminé is one of the more melodic rappers on the scene and when he’s on form, he’s an absolute joy to listen to. There’s new music afoot too, and you can hear two songs from whatever project he’s got planned for everyone. These are his first two songs of the year, which would suggest a…

WHSmith are going to start selling records again and obviously, we’re hoping that they bring back the cool bags they had in the ’70s and ’80s while they’re at it. This is the first time the retailer will be selling vinyl in their stores in decades. Exciting stuff, and proof that the world of LPs…

We all love Spinal Tap – only losers can’t quote huge bits of the movie and singing along to the likes of ‘Stonehenge’ and ‘Gimme Some Money’. Well, if you want the guys stood on your shelf full of fancy things, you’re going to love these new figurines. These figures from Super7 and feature David…

While Kylie might be the UK’s Queen of Disco by repatriation, Sophie Ellis-Bextor is definitely in the conversation for someone who has served our dancefloors very well indeed. And she’s back with a new single which is, of course, aimed squarely at shaking your behinds along with. After the resurgence thanks to ‘Murder On The…

Kate Bush spooks pretty easily, so while it’s okay to get excited at the prospect of new music from her, please don’t frighten her off with over-the-top proclamations and hype she can’t live up to, okay? Cheers, thanks, magic. No-one is listening, are they? She’s said, in an interview with Radio 4, that she’s got…

DJ Magazine have been sharing some ace videos about dance hits with the people who made them. They’re all gold, honestly. This one stars Roni Size talking about the magical ‘Brown Paper Bag’ and what led him to the ‘New Forms’ LP and more. Super interesting, so press play.

George Harrison’s estate have been busy and put out an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) (Take 18)’ and now, we get an unreleased version of ‘Be Here Now’ for the anniversary of ‘Living in the Material World’. The LP was basically the album that paid for his Concert for…

Look, it’s not every day you get to write that as a headline, but when you see it as a song title like we did, you’re compelled to find out more. What we were faced with was Elita’s chaotic song that combines cutesy dream pop with shrieking industrialism. Elita is apparently an ‘Instagram model’, but…

Remember when Alessia Cara burst onto the pop scene with the moody and cool ‘Here’? She was just an itty bitty thing then, but she’s growing musically and it’s a good thing. The new song is called ‘(Isn’t It) Obvious’ and it’s nice to see some brackets in a song title, but more importantly, it’s…

We were watching an old clip of Motorhead playing on Top of the Pops, and that’s a fun thing all by itself… but someone else sprang out at us While the assembled crowd seemed mildly bewildered at the sight of adrenaline filled rock n roll in the studio, to the right of the stage in…

FIEVEL IS GLAQUE LP IS GO!
We’re big fans of Fievel Is Glauque’s music – mixing psychedelia with electronics, jazz, space pop, and all manner of great record collector stuff! They have a new LP coming out, which is fantastic news – it is called ‘Rong Weicknes’ and you be able to get your paws on it in October via Fat…

NEW MUSIC FROM TIM HEIDECKER
Tim Heidecker is something of a renaissance man, although he’d probably rinse you for saying something like that about him. Broadly, he’s known for being a stand-up and comedian, but he’s also prone to making music which while witty, is more sincere so don’t expect him to be doing bits. His ‘Work From Home’ is…

DON’T BE A MENACE TO BLACKBURN WHILE DRINKING WHITE LIGHTNING ON A COUNCIL ESTATE
Sometimes, a song title is so good that you need to just write it as the literal headline and then share the song.

PIKES SAYS PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY
Phones eh? They’re responsible for that fun gig you watched on YouTube for a band that never played in the country you live in. They’re responsible for that video where someone lost their shit on stage and made the news, and now we all got to see it rather than relying on someone’s word for…
