  • 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.

  • BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED

    She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

  • FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE

    It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

  • PSYCHEDELIC TWANGS WITH IMMATERIAL POSSESSION

    If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…

  • 03 GREEDO BUSS ME A SCRIPT

    03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be…

  • LETS TALK ABOUT HOW ED SHEERAN DOESN’T SEE THE POINT IN MUSIC CRITICS

    Ed Sheeran has said that he doesn’t see the point in music critics. You might think that this is going to provoke some kind of butt-hurt response from us, given that this is a place for music criticism. Well, largely, there’s a point to this notion, given that people have Spotify and YouTube now, so…

  • JAKOJAKO WITH MODULAR TECH ACENESS

    There’s a number of bigger bands releasing stuff at the minute and they don’t need the promo and we’re not going to steal any traffic from the NME, so what’s the point? Instead, we’re all excited about DJ JakoJako’s new one called ‘Modus’. It’s a clicky, menacing, fun piece of techno which is no surprise…

  • JAHNAH CAMILLE’S COOL TAKE ON GRUNGE POP

    Look, we can’t lie – we think a lot of shoegaze and grunge is pretty crappy, and the newer versions of them that’s been doing the rounds hasn’t been too great either. Now, that’s not to say that there isn’t excellent shoegaze and grunge old and new – far from it. However, it’s all a…

  • 2010s / BANDSPLAINING EXPLAIN IT ALL

    It can be confusing trying to keep up with genres and all that, and you can’t be expected to keep up with everything we’re saying. No drama. See, BANDSPLAINING is the finest channel on YouTube doing deep dives on cool shit and well researched, whip smart and fun. Looking at 2010s music, this video we’re…

  • PEGGY GOU’S NEW BOP

    Peggy Gou is a goodtime producer and the South Korean DJ and music-maker has a new bop out which is perfect for the incoming good weather.
