WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Harry Styles dresses glamorously, so regardless of the music he’s making and thanks to a couple of sequins and whatnot, we are by law, required to liken him to some people from the ’70s. Seeing as most people identify the ’70s with David Bowie, then Harry Styles must be like him, eh? Now, we actually…

Sheena Easton has had a funny ol’ career hasn’t she? From ‘Morning Train (Nine To Five)’ to being in a band with Prince, it’s quite the leap, eh? Well, concerning her own work, the lovely people over at Cherry Red are reissuing her debut LP ‘Take My Time’ from 1981. Now, we haven’t looked at…

Formerly Girl Band, now Gilla Band, they’ve got a new single out called ‘Sports Day’ and honestly, you can probably just scroll to the bottom of this article and listen to the track and skip all the fluff.

Hey Macca fans! There’s going to be a feature documentary that looks at Paul McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles. That’s the cool solo bits, Wings, and his life with Linda McCartney, and obviously, an insane amount of incredible music. We’re promised a lot of never-seen-before archive of Paul and Linda’s home videos…

Pop Corps are gigantic Steely Dan fans. Let’s just get that out of the way. Now, Steve Albini says he hates Steely Dan. Time to get the claws out and start bringing up the fact that Steve Albini was in a band called Rapeman and all that, right? Time to outline exactly why Steely Dan…

One of our favourite, favourite music project is back with more music. If you haven’t heard Looking Suite, then you’re missing out on some really wonderful ambient, post-noodle, psychedelic improv, nu-age, dream-chug music. It’s hard to pin down what it is exactly, but you’ll feel like you’re hovering while it’s on, and it’s magic. The…

Pink Floyd – they’ve always got on so well with each other haven’t they? We joke of course, but any hope for a reunion have been well and truly booted to death this week. Polly Samson, author and wife of Dave Gilmour, have been tweeting. We’ll link to her tweet. Then to Gilmour’s quote tweet.…

If you’re very knowledgable about music and go on about it, there’s no telling you anything. For the rest of everyone, there’s a new app that you might like! You might not! We’re not your real dad. Anyway, an app. So, there’s a new app out that’s called Rewind and what it intends to do…

There’s a lot of musicians and bands that haven’t been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and when you read the latest list of nominations, you’ll be like “THEY’RE NOT ALREADY IN THERE?!?!” This year, up for the award… and unbelievably not already in there, are Kate Bush, George Michael, Missy Elliott…

Yves Tumor isn’t quite like anyone else around at the moment, but one thing we do know is that the music they’ve been making is undeniably sexy. Good too, mind you. Future glam mixed with Prince’s grimier moments, with a dollop of psychedelics thrown in. It’s fun stuff. Well, good news pop fans, there’s going…

SPOTIFY BOSS PROVES TO BE OUT OF TOUCH
How much does it cost to put an album out?

CANDIE PAYNE’S HIDDEN GEM, REISSUE
Candie Payne’s ‘I Wish I Could Have Loved You More’ was one of the best albums of the Noughties, melding pop with ace ’60s girl group pop and noirish spy flick moodiness. These days, Candie is making art of a different stripe, but we’ve kept playing tracks like ‘All I Need To Hear’ and the…
