WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
When The Weeknd came back with a sort of New Wave angle on his pop-R&B, everyone went nuts, as well as his face. He was making a point about celebrity culture or something, we forget. Well, keep that in mind when you’re listening to the new and very excellent track from Fireboy DML. It’s called
-
Nick Cave eh? Like, he’s really loved. Not everyone loves him of course – who is entirely loved? Certain pockets of the internet have turned on David Attenborough, so y’know, who stands a chance? Anyway, we’re not that bothered about Nick Cave’s music so we’re not going to try and cancel him here (over his

Like futuristic music? Like jazz? Well, LA’s High Pulp may well have just the thing for you with their new track called ‘(If You Don’t Leave) The City Will Kill You’. Optimistic title, that. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Days In The Desert’ in July. They’re a collective so there’s loads of

We’ll keep this brief because not everything has to be a bloody essay. Fact is, if you love David Bowie and you love the Pet Shop Boys, these few words won’t swerve you one jot. Wonderful Neil Tennant has recalled bumping into David Bowie at the Brits in the ’90s. He said: “I remember him

![ED SHEERAN MIGHT QUIT MUSIC [JOKES + SERIOUS STUFF]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ed-sheeran.webp?w=1024)
Ed Sheeran has said that he might knock the whole music thing on the head if he loses his case in a copyright infringement trial. Are we going to joke about this? Of course we are, because partly, it’s funny in a lowest common denominator way. However, there’s a serious point in all of this

Like looking at ace 70s graphic design? Cool fonts? You’re in luck. You’ll have to not sneer at Richard Nixon briefly, but you’re a grown up, you’ll manage. Here’s a great, short video that should set you off down some graphic design wormholes.
-
You know Crazy Town don’t you? Come my lady, come, come my lady lol. Anyway, we’re not arsed about their music and we’re assuming you’re not either. An embarrassing, ugly fist-fight? COUNT US IN! You’ve probably already seen this, but it’s the weekend and we’ve gone to the pub and just scheduled this. The singers

Rico Nasty makes mega fun club hip hop, and once again, we see they’re in a tagteam with 100 Gecs, so we’re in for a whole load of trouble as usual! The new track is called ‘Turn It Up’, and seeing as Rico Nasty coined the phrase ‘sugar trap’ about her music, it’s funny that

There’s a new LP due from Yussef Dayes called ‘Black Classic Music’ on September 8th, and if you’re a head on the UK jazz scene currently, you’ll be more than aware of the swirl around the percussionist right now. Expect some heavy, heavy music for sure. Yussef Dayes, in jazzer form, shared his thoughts: “What
-
Kesha’s time with Dr Luke will go down in music history as one of the most troubling chapters we’ve seen, at least in recent years. There’ll be documentaries about it, for sure. Go acquaint yourself if you haven’t already, but get comfy, because there’s a lot to bone up with. If you know already, then

DREAMY, NU AGE JAPANESE PSYCH MIX FROM MARI*
My Analog Journal is, as anyone with even the vaguest interest in record collecting, DJing and the culture, one of the finest channels around. Deep cuts, obscure stuff, amazing collectors playing inventive and super interesting sets. The latest that caught our ear is Mari*, who hails from Japan but now based in London, and produces…

ST VINCENT IS A BROKEN MAN
You know the score with St Vincent by now – good clothes, idiosyncratic pop, angular guitar and that clever-clever stuff. Her last outing was some cocaine lonely at the top enormo-star character… we think… with ‘Daddy’s Home’. Now, it’s all, according to her, “urgent and psychotic” on the imminent LP ‘All Born Screaming’. There’s quite…

ALENA SPANGER RHYMES WITH BANGER [MAYBE]
Is it Spange? Or Spang? We don’t know, but the new one from Alena Spanger is really cool and it’s called ‘All That I Wanted’ and you should give it a listen. There’s a good chance you’ve not heard of them if you’re outside of NYC, but there’s a debut album due and on the…

JUNIPERS RED BOUQUET BELTER!
The greatest band in the whole world – The Junipers – haven’t made any new music in a while (which we’re all poorer for), but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a piece of them in your home. Their magical ‘Red Bouquet Fair’ LP is available on the group’s Bandcamp page, and as its Bandcamp…
