WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.…

If you asked ‘Missy who?’ after reading that headline, then maybe this isn’t the website for you. Anyway, there’s been a lot of noise around FLO this past year, and Pop Justice’s Peter Robinson is a fan and genuinely, that’s something you should always take notice of. They won a BRIT Award, so they’re absolutely…

Initially, this article was just going to be a video of a very tired, very angry baby. We bailed on the idea, because that one time someone reviewed a Jet LP with nothing more than a video of a chimp drinking it’s own piss was effectively the pinnacle of that kind of thing, and has…

BONGZILLA. Just read that name back. It’s great isn’t it? Read that on a festival line-up, and you’re taking notice aren’t you? Handily, it perfectly captures their sound too – thick, heavy doom psychedelic rock. They’ve got a new song out which does exactly what you want to it to, called ‘Hippie Stick’, and they’ll…

REVIEW / ASAP ROCKY / DON’T BE DUMB
We don’t necessarily look forward to an album from ASAP Rocky, per se, even if he is capable of occasional cool things. As part of the ASAP Mob, we always looked forward to Ferg’s macho bullshit, but whether you like it or not, Rocky was the star. ‘Goldie’ and ‘F***ing Problems’ were club hits, and…

ADULT/CHILD RELEASE AND BEACH BOYS COOLNESS
Beach Boys ‘Love You’ has seen a huge reappraisal in recent years, and rumours of a box set or deluxe treatment were rife in recent months. Who knew then, that what would be appearing was the first official release of lost Brian piece ‘Adult/Child’ too? Massive news! The set is called ‘We Gotta Groove’ and…

MUSK VS MUSIC BIZ
Elon Musk’s Twitter (no-one is calling it X unless they really have to, behave yourself) is going toe-to-toe with the music industry, which is an unfortunate sequence of events where you almost want no-one to win, but at least the music industry isn’t openly fash. Twitter has filed an antitrust lawsuit against a number of…

LISTEN TO LENNON TALK ABBEY ROAD
It’s quite usual to only hear The Beatles spoken about after the fact – it’s all reminiscing, revisionism, and all that. What feels unusual now, is to hear a Beatle talk about just one record, at the time it was being released. With that, someone’s uploaded a full interview from Radio Luxembourg with Tony Mcarthur,…
