WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Fans of Bruce Springsteen have been having kittens about the news of an expanded ‘Nebraska’ and now the word is out about what that actually means, and we’ve got the full tracklisting and all that good stuff. This Autumn, there’ll be a five-disc box set with loads of stuff that no-one’s heard before and more.…

When a singer who works in the lane of R&B and soul, and they use guitars, wonky production and skittish beats, it’s easy to be super lazy and liken them to Prince and Outkast. While Dijon doesn’t explicitly sound like either, we can’t help but get reminders of them when we listen to his music.…

We previously shared some music from Cate Le Bon’s new album – out later this month – called ‘Michelangelo Dying’, and what we’ve heard from it thus far, it’s going to be one of the better LPs released this year. With that, here’s a brand new track from it called ‘About Time’, which underlines our…

Princess Nokia is putting a new album out in October called ‘Girls’, which is good news for fans of hers! Of course, that means we’re treated to a teaser from it to whet our appetite in the meantime. She says of the new song: “‘Blue Velvet’ is both delicate and sinister. It supports women’s rights…

There’s been some palaver about Will Smith using AI to make a show of his look more fun than it apparently was, and while the whole thing is magnificently unimportant in the scheme of things, it did seem a bit fishy. Not to worry though, because while Smith hasn’t spoken about these accusations, he has…

Ever heard of the Mike Stuart Span? Well, if not, you’re not alone. They were a plucky group in the 60s trying to make it big. While stardom didn’t reach them, the BBC were on hand to see what it was like for a young band champing at the bit. It’s a lovely look at…

Our latest radio show is up and available to listen to. It doesn’t matter if you’re signed up for Mixcloud, we think. Anyone can listen, and as ever, it’ll be up for a couple of months so you can listen at your leisure. Anyway, here’s the show itself so you don’t have to search for…

Hayley Williams released some music for free on her website, hidden behind a password, then everyone shared the password, and they disappeared, only to reappear on streaming services as singles. Genuinely, it’s all be very fun and off-the-cuff, and a neat change from the rigmarole of incessant album cycles, eras, and seeded promo work. This…

Without a note being played, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ had annoyed half the internet thanks to the cover artwork. We’re not here for that, because in Sabrina Carpenter, we’ve got a popstar that’s remember that glittery, camp fun is a thing to rejoice. That’s not to say Carpenter lacks substance, but rather, reading too much into…

Hannah Jadagu is new to us, but never mind all that – we really like her new single called ‘Doing Now’, and you might really like it too! The track will appear on new album – ‘Describe’ – which we can hear in full in October, and released on the mighty Sub Pop, which is…

WILLIE NELSON + KERMIT ON STAGE
Willie Nelson played a show in Texas and Kermit the Frog came on stage and they sang ‘Rainbow Connection’ together. Honestly, what more do you need to hear? It’s just about the most wholesome thing you’re going to see. Press play, and marvel at the detail of the puppeteers when they position Kermit’s hand like…

BRIAN ENO SHARES EMOTIONAL THING
