  • CHARLOTTE CORNFIELD HAS A LOVELY NEW ONE OUT

    Cute sunshine pop? We’re always in the market for that! Luckily for us, there’s a new track called ‘Cut And Dry’ by Charlotte Cornfield who we’ll confess that we haven’t heard of before, but this is a very lovely song and we will absolutely be investigating further. It’s the second single off her upcoming LP ‘Could

  • KEN BRUCE & POPMASTER ARE BACK

    We all love PopMaster, and if you’re not that aware of it, it’s probably because you’re super young and haven’t listened to live radio once in your life – that’s fine and all, but you’ve been missing out. See, Ken Bruce and his lovely, lovely voice have been testing people’s musical knowledge for years and

  • KAYTRANADA & AMINÉ

    Kaytranada and Aminé are a match made in heaven really, so it’s nice that they’re teaming up again (they’ve worked with each other a bunch before) on a project called KAYTRAMINÉ. Initially, we heard about this via a video on Instagram where their names are being presented on a lovely, orange MPC looking thing. Then, there was

  • DRAKE SEEMINGLY GOADS KANYE WITH KIM SAMPLE AND WE’RE SO TIRED

    Kanye West is game for dunking on at every opportunity, which in part is richly deserved, but also really depressing. The man needs to be accountable for the things he says and does, but jesus, it’s rotten watching someone be so very ill in public. With that, along comes cringebag no.1, Drake. He shared a

  • COSMIC COUNTRY POP FROM JENNY LEWIS

    Cosmic country pop? Like Gram Parsons but with a will to actually sell some records? Big claim that, but fuck it, let’s go with it. We’re talking about Jenny Lewis, who is a bit of a legend in certain circles, and who has a most excellent wardrobe (stop pretending that this isn’t a thing that

  • KISS ARE AT EACH OTHER’S ELDERLY THROATS AGAIN

    It’s funny that ageing rockers bemoan the thin-skins of the yoof, while acting like petulant babies all the time, throwing their toys out of the pram and indulging in very ugly, public, hilarious spats. Just look at Pink Floyd. A very dignified set of old men there. With that, we turn our attentions to KISS.

  • WHICH BAND DOES KEANU LOVE?

    Keanu Reeves is everyone’s non-problematic fave and generally seems like a good dude. Great face too, if we’re still objectifying people in 2023. You can imagine he’s got a half decent and very sizeable record collection, right? His house is probably dead nice. And we’re only mentioning Wyld Stallyns now to say that we won’t

  • APRIL FOOL’S DAY

    We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

  • ONLINE DJ SETS, WHO GETS PAID + TWITCH

    DJs have been looking online to promote their sets for a while now, and at each turn, there’s is always the sticky problem of getting paid. Of course, in clubs and bars, DJs sling out other people’s music and there’s a tacit understanding between all parties that effectively, it’s free promotion for the artist and…

  • WHAT WE LEARNED FROM GRIMES TRAINWRECK DJ SET

    For those who have seen Grimes horror show of a DJ set at Coachella and have been hating on her for a while – enjoy this moment – you got what you wanted at long last. That may seem passive aggressive, but it isn’t. See, one of the unfortunate knock-on effects of the automation of…
