WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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

It’s hard to sound original when there’s been so much music released, ever. However, Daniel Villareal is one of the most original musicians on the planet and you should get into him right now. Melding psychedelic jazz with dubs, post-rock, samba, spiritual music, electronics, and the kitchen sink, Villareal is a truly formidable and very,

So they can join the ranks of such luminaries as Dervish, Dustin the Turkey, and Nicky Byrne, John Lydon’s group Public Limited Image are going to compete to represent Ireland at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. They’re entering a new song called ‘Hawaii’ which is neither in Ireland, or Europe. Not that it matters much,

Morrissey is routinely awful, and yet, there’s many people who give him the time of day still despite aligning himself with literal fascist politicians and saying ropey stuff about the people of other nations. With all that, many have speculated that Miley Cyrus’ withdrawal from his (next) LP was probably something to do with his

NARDWUAR SNEAKERS
Nardwuar might just be the nicest interviewer on the planet, with his deep dives and enthusiasm paired with his DIY aesthetic. He’s been at it for years and you wish him all the luck in the world as he scratches around record shops and basement shows, as well as interviewing some of music’s biggest names.…

G-A-Y WAVES BYE TO SOHO
Nightlife is changing in the UK, and not for the better. Everything being more expensive is hurting businesses and customers alike, resulting in fewer people wanting to go out, and ultimately, it’s our sense of community and literal togetherness is lost. Another legend is closing their doors as G-A-Y in Soho have said that it…

REVIEW / TAYLOR SWIFT / THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL
When you’re fully in the lore of standom, every utterance from your favourite artist is either an in-joke, or breadcrumbs to follow for some deeper meaning. And that’s where we’re at with the stratospherically successful Taylor Swift who, in terms of ticket sales and hit records, can basically do no wrong. However, what if you’re…

ICE VS SUPER BOWL
If you thought the response from White America was bad after Kendrick’s Super Bowl halftime show, just wait until Bad Bunny does his set at the next one in February. Of course, Bad Bunny announced a world tour, and featured no shows in mainland USA, and has said that – rightly – he’d fear for…
