WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Copyright is a funny ol’ thing, but basically, thanks to it being funny, Pink Floyd are quietly doing some stuff and semi hoping you won’t notice, in a bid to keep hold of the copyright. Or not. Who cares? Basically, Ver Floyd have uploaded 18 concerts from the Dark Side of the Moon period (they…

Over at the Wall Street Journal, Bob Dylan has been talking about what he doesn’t like. You can pretty much imagine the kinds of things he doesn’t like. He’s earned the right to be an old curmudgeon and, if we’re being truthful here, it’s not like he wasn’t a young curmudgeon too. He’s always been…

Dolly Parton is – and lets make no bones about this – a legend. Over 130 million records sold, the writer of iconic hits, she’s also good people – a philanthropist you could say. One of her charities have given 182 million free books to kids that need them, she pays for the college tuition…

You know what it’s like – you finally get into a new band and think ‘I’d quite like that on vinyl’, only to stumble over the fact that everyone else has been into them for ages and now there’s no LPs left. Well Frank Ocean fans new and old, it has been confirmed that ‘Blonde’…

Obviously, Gruff Rhys is a legend. A really pleasant legend at that. Whether he’s with the Super Furry Animals (easily one of the most underrated bands who ever lived) or solo, Gruff has an uncanny knack for a sugary melody, but always cut with something psychedelic and unusual. There’s no-one quite like him. And now,…

Rochelle Jordan started out way back when, making great but somewhat typical R&B. It was all hot boxes and day ones tackle – however, she burrowed away and emerged with a truly sensational LP called ‘Play With Them Changes’. While most of R&B is concerned with being exactly the type of hot stuff that could…

Pretty exciting news for fans of Cosmic American music and Gram Parsons – there’s some new music on the horizon! It’s not often you get to say something like that – good news indeed! So what’s the craic? Well, if you’re not in the mood for reading, you can just press play on the video…

There’s a brilliant Instagram account by Steve Birnbaum which sees him tracking down the locations of music photos from the past – Nirvana, Madonna, Basquiat, Biggie, Grateful Dead, June & Johnny, Prince, Amy… so many iconic photos that we’ve seen before – but what of the location right now? If you prefer, you can ignore…

Sometimes, someone says something and your brain starts racing. It doesn’t matter if they’re talking a load of cobblers or not, you’ve already internally fired off down seventeen different tangents, and circled around the drain six more times, hoping that someone more diligent will make a documentary about it, or a long-form reader, because this…

CHILDISH GAMBINO ROCKS OUT, OR SOMETHING
Donald Glover doesn’t want to be called Childish Gambino anymore, which is a shame seeing as he got his name from a Wu Tang generator and everyone passed that fact off as new. Not that this is a bad thing – it’s fun sharing pop trivia isn’t it? Anyway, this is the last we’ll hear…

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2024 REVIEW
As we talked all the way through Jada Star’s set early on the Saturday morning at the Acoustic Stage, having not been to bed yet, it was clear we were in the presence of something very special. It wasn’t the music coming from the PA – and it certainly wasn’t the people around us who…

YOUNG THUG TRIAL PAUSED
The racketeering case concerning Young Thug has taken a new twist. The RICO trial is already the longest criminal trial seen in Georgia, clocking up 18 months, and it doesn’t look like letting up any time soon. However, it has been paused indefinitely thanks to an alleged misconduct by Fulton County Superior Judge Ural Glanville.…
