WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Yungblud thinks sex will “save the world”, while also very much having a nose like a two-pin plug. The singer, who you look at and just want to poke a travel adapter in before you trying charging your phone up, insists that the “expression and freedom” of making sweet, sweet shags, is a sure fire
-
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

HURRAY FOR DENT MAY!
Good news power pop fans! We have news that Dent May is releasing a new album called ‘What’s For Breakfast?’. That’s out in March and it should be a total winner based on his previous outings! Sugary sweet melodies, big pianos and choruses – we’ve loved his stuff and ‘Late Checkout’ is a massive favourite!…

PHARRELL, MUMFORD & SONS, JESUS WEPT
Most musicians fall off eventually, don’t they? And so, to Pharrell Williams who was once a prince amongst men, and then starred in a super dodgy Robin Thicke video, did some gigs that were literal fundraisers for the IDF, and now perhaps worst of all, collaborating with Mumford & Sons on a new song called…

PITCHFORK RIP?
There’s no money in writing about music, and that seems to be a sad fact of the present day. In fact, there’s been no money in it for years, which is a shame as music criticism and opinion struggles to gain a foothold in a period where, honestly, most fans are waiting for marquee releases…

PLAYBOI CARTI’S UNREAL COMMENT SECTION
Playboi Carti has a new song out called ‘EvilJ0rdan’, on the back of some pretty unsavoury stuff. He appeared with Kanye while he was wearing his Klan hood, on the back of an allegation that he’d choked and assaulted his pregnant girlfriend. The track is below and contains lyrics like “monkey nuts, hold me, baby”…
