WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Rita Ora’s life seems exhausting, honestly. Like treading water, she has to keep the grind up possibly more than a lot of her peers, from which you can draw your own conclusions. Her work ethic is very strong, that much is clear, as she scrambles over the bones of pop and celebrity culture. Does anyone

It is incredibly easy to be mildly irritated by Taylor Swift, but no-one is forcing anyone to like or dislike her here, because we’re not really talking about her music or her personality here. This is something else. This is about records, and buying LPs is good. Her recent LP ‘Midnights’ – which we haven’t
-
‘Cult Survivor’ by Sofie was a really good album. Well, slightly redubbed as Sofie Royer and now in pierrot make-up, she’s at it again being great, with her ‘Harlequin’ LP. In 2022, it seems silly to start describing what she does when you can just click on the video below or indeed, give it a

Born in a Derbyshire village in 1941, little did the residents of the High Peak village know that a legend had been born. Vivienne Westwood left Tintwistle for the big smoke to attend art school, but she only lasted one term, because frankly, formal training wasn’t needed for what she was about to give the
-
We can’t imagine we’ll be featuring a huge amount of ice hockey on these pages, but then again, how many surprisingly good disco LPs are based around tips from a professional hockey player? Guy LaFleur died in 2022, and was a Canadian hockey legend, and he once released an LP where he gave training advice
-
90s hip hop fans can be very irritating indeed BUT we shouldn’t let gatekeeping Old Heads stop us enjoying the music right? Right. So with that, A Tribe Called Quest are great aren’t they? They never seem to be in the conversation when people are talking about Who Is Best, even when that conversation is
-
More new music which is great that we won’t talk about too much initially, because you can ignore us and just listen to it below. However, for enthusiasm and padding an article out’s sake, Nala Sinephro is fantastic. It’s part ambient, part jazz, all fantastic. It’ll make you feel like you’re in one of those
-
The price of things are going up, but wages aren’t. It’s a thing that always happens when anyone in any position of power naively believes in trickle down economics. The fact is – and we all know this – rich folk like hoarding their money or spending it on themselves. Add a host of other

You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool

THE MOST TOXIC BARTENDER YOU KNOW GETS A BIG NIGHT OUT
They’ve chirpsed half your mates, given three of them STDs and referred to every single one of their exes as ‘mental’, and they got promoted at the bar they worked at, in part, for coming up with a mildly successful drink, in part because they’re willing to get bags in midweek and split them with…

UNIVERSAL AXE TIKTOK
TikTok are new media, and by and large, record companies are resolutely middle aged. With that, social media and physical media are going to be at loggerheads, and this time, it’s Universal Music who are at it, and they’re going to pull all their music from TikTok in the coming days, after failing to reach…

STANS NEED TO CHECK THEMSELVES
We’ve all felt that unswerving love for an artist that makes us want to leap to their defence at the mere mention of their name, because you’re bored of everyone slagging them off. Hashing it out down the pub is one of music’s great theatrical events, but thanks to terminally online culture, lines can be…

CAOILFHIONN ROSE DOES IT AGAIN
Caoilfhionn Rose is one of the most original and brilliant voices in modern acid folk, and her newest track ‘Rainfall’ feels like just the tonic for a cure to the wintertime blues. It’s a shimmering, hazy, psychedelic slice of loveliness and, for anyone who has heard her music before, that will come as no surprise…
