WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Meet Kavi Sharma. Kavi is a doll that makes bangers, and that’s very obviously a fun thing. See, where music production used to be the playground of old lads with hairy ears and stoners, technology has opened it up to everyone, and now, very young people can do it themselves and actual children can aspire
-
The Brit Awards (remember those?) is coming in for some justifiable stick this week, as they’ve completely failed to recognise any women in their Best British Artist category. So, what we’ll do is try our best to give them the benefit of the doubt while simultaneously rinsing them and pointing out the women that absolutely

Paramore have not had an easy ride. When they first appeared on the scene proper, they found themselves working just about as hard as a band can work in the middle of a number of Vans Warped tour where, unsurprisingly for an event made up of frat boys pretending to be skaters and a load

He’s good is 03 Greedo. A fine rapper indeed. And he’s surprised everyone by dropping a new tape (not a literal tape of course, but that’d be nice if he did). The new release is called ‘FREE 03’ and has 15 songs for you to listen to. It has guesties from the late Drakeo the
-
‘Electronic Sound’ isn’t exactly at the front of people’s brains when it comes to Beatle Solo LPs. However, it is one of the more interesting cuts, from a vault that is possibly the most interesting and varied of off-shoot projects of any rock group. This is George Harrison of ‘My Sweet Lord’ lawsuit fame, and
-
Obviously, the story surrounding Young Thug’s RICO charges in the US is incredibly serious and very complex. If you’re looking for a serious, considered piece about this whole affair, then you should look somewhere else because, frankly, if we even hint at a sober thought, we’re too emotional and too bias and will fly off

At the turn of the ’80s, the yoof TV show Something Else had a great featurette on punk in Belfast. If you like local scenes, spotty kids and derelict streets, you’re in for a treat! Of course, ’80s Northern Ireland means – by law – you have to mention sectarianism and The Troubles. We’ve now
-
Everything But The Girl are back and it’s easy to worry about such a thing, because older acts can embarrass themselves sometimes. Not the case with Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt though because they love pop music and don’t muck around. It’s their first new tune in 24 years and it’s called ‘Nothing Left To
-
Not one of our writers really knows anything about K-Pop because historically, we’ve always covered rock and indie music. However, rock and indie fans don’t generate as much internet traffic as they used to and K-Pop fans apparently do, so we’re going to pretend we’ve always had a soft spot for pop music, and cover

EMINEM TO FILM STANS
You get the impression that most musicians consider stan culture to be a necessary evil, because stans move product like musical drug mules. Of course, some stans are just super enthusiastic sorts, but there’s a good percentage of them that are over-zealous lunatics who want to prove they’ll go above and beyond, like supporting an…

SPOTIFY SUCKS FOR NEW MUSIC / LAYOFFS
There’s a difference between hearing a song that’s new to you and new music. Unless you’re actively seeking out new stuff like a massive nerd (hi there!) and tailoring the algorithm to give you the new good stuff, Spotify is generally quite bad when it comes to promoting new music from smaller acts with little…

GEORGIA WITH A CHEEKY BANGER
Georgia has been making some great music over the past couple of years with loads of promise. It’s been R&Bish pop, but now, jjst before hitting the road with Kim Petras, there’s clearly one eye on the dancefloor. The track starts moodily before making way for some glorious doof doof action, and it’s very fun.…

WE’RE NOT WRITING ABOUT BEYONCE GOING COUNTRY
Look, it’s fine that Beyonce is going country and anyone can do whatever they want. We don’t have to write about it though, because we’re just not that bothered. It might be great, it might be average – it’s just not that interesting, regardless of the endless ‘MOTHER!’ comments and people insisting on the re-use…
