WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x

DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a

It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,

Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for

Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article

There’s few things as satisfying as Pusha T saying ‘YERGHK!’ in a track. He’s a venomous MC alright and sharp as a tack. He’s also quite the businessman, coming up with the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ for McDonald’s and also, heading up the G.O.O.D. Music label. Of course, that’d be Kanye West’s record label there. Now,

It is an unlikely pairing, but Timmy Mallett (yep, that very same one) has unveiled a never-heard-before mix (at least in digital form) of Terry Hall presenting a radio show of songs that mean a great deal to him. Mallett was a DJ on Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio and had a show where he allowed pop

Have you been looking for a Christmas playlist? Doesn’t matter if you like Jesus are not, because it’s basically a secular holiday anyway, what with the amount of booze and gear being done at this most wonderful time of the year. What’s Baileys and beak got to do with a baby being born in the

Olivia Rodrigo seems to be doing it right. She was catapulted to fame with a giganto hit and, instead of thinking ‘sod it, let’s make a cash grab and do all the arenas immediately!’, she’s made a conscious decision to play smaller venues, and if the arenas come, then she feels she will have earned

REVIEW / LIAM GALLAGHER + JOHN SQUIRE LP
There’s a corner of society that may not have voted for Brexit, but they certainly enjoy the lumpenness of things and cheer on a thundering hoof at the football, and cheekily say that it’s ‘a proper Brexit tackle that‘, and of course, there’s a musical equivalent too, that wants to listen to things that sound…

SHABAZZ PALACES FUTURE WONNK
Shabazz Palaces don’t exactly make straight-ahead hip hop, but this latest one is some supreme wonkiness and it sounds great. The track is called ‘Take Me To Your Leader’ and it features on their new LP ‘Exotic Birds of Prey’. You’re probably not reading these words because your eye has already been caught by the…

JAMES BLAKE HITS OUT AT STREAMING
Streaming eh? What a mess. Super convenient and all that, and great for sharing tunes and making playlists – but it isn’t perfect is it? For starters, you have to listen to people complaining about it all the time, but when those complaints are valid, it’s enough to make you go grey. And so, to…

MDOU MOCTAR: ELECTRIC TUAREG
When Tuareg musicians pick up electric guitars, something psychedelic and spectacular happens almost every time. This track we’re sharing is brand new and called ‘Funeral For Justice’ and comes from the brilliant Mdou Moctar. It’s firebrand stuff and taking names and numbers and kicking all kinds of ass. We love it. The track is from…
