WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It’s almost Eurovision time and, unless you’re the most boring snob on Earth, it’s a celebration of pop, togetherness, campness and crucially, crushing disappointment and outrage. We enjoy the party atmosphere, and as this year’s is being held in Liverpool, you know it’s going to be a banger. We also enjoy yelling at the TV…
-
We don’t know much about Wombo other than they’re from Louisville and their new song ‘Slab’ is a wiry, wonky and fantastic slice of garage rock. Do we need to write more words so you get your money’s worth? Frankly, no. Just press play already. This is some fun shit.

Did you know Mac DeMarco has a new LP out? And did you know it has 199 songs on it? What’s he like eh, the daft sausage. He’s a charming bugger, so instead of being wordy and worthy, we figured we’d let him do the hard work and we’d just share a video where he…

Remember we wrote about the price of tickets and the wrath of pop fans? Well, seeing as “ticketmaster” has been trending on Twitter for around 4 months solidly this year, it’s obviously not a topic that is likely to cool any time soon. And we’re chucking some more kindling on the fire, because it’s worth…

Siouxsie Sioux does seem cooler than all the other UK punk survivors put together, doesn’t she? Then again, the goths have put a claim in for her as theirs too, but whatever. After a hiatus away from the stage, she’s back and we’re stealing someone’s footage to show you, in case you want to see…

Here’s a new song called ‘Deceiver’ by Claire Rousay and Helena Deland. It’s released on Mexican Summer who, largely speaking, are a record label you can trust. It’s always worth listening to something if it’s released on Mexican Summer. They’ve put out music by Weyes Blood, Cate Le Bon, Best Coast, Kurt Vile, Connan Mockasin,…

What a great thing to have a band name like Alogte Oho & His Sounds of Joy. Who are they? They’re about to make your day a whole lot better. They’re a group from Ghana who make uplifting, brassy Afrobeat and it does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s filled with joy.…

One of the UK’s finest soul singers, lovely Linda Lewis, has sadly died. To many, this may be a new name so let us fill you in as tribute and introduce you to some wonderful music in the meantime. Lewis got a break performing with John Lee Hooker, and was courted by Bowie, Rod Stewart,…

If you know Adrian Flanagan, you’ll know he’s behind a whole bunch of great music stuff, including The International Teachers of Pop, The Moonlandingz, The Chanteuse & The Crippled Claw and more. Look him up. You’ll have a lovely time. Anyway, at the minute, he’s doing the Acid Klaus thing and there’s a new song…

When The Weeknd came back with a sort of New Wave angle on his pop-R&B, everyone went nuts, as well as his face. He was making a point about celebrity culture or something, we forget. Well, keep that in mind when you’re listening to the new and very excellent track from Fireboy DML. It’s called…

NEW MUSIC FROM OF MONTREAL
Do you like Of Montreal? Well, there’s a new song out called ‘Rude Girl on Rotation’ and is taken from the imminent new LP ‘Lady On The Cusp’ which you can grab on May 17th. Kevin Barnes says: “Rude Girl On Rotation” was inspired, in part, by my impending move from Athens GA to our…

WEYES BLOOD NEW VID IS LOVELY
It only seems like yesterday that ‘Titanic Rising’ came out, but Weyes Blood marked the fifth birthday of it this week by releasing a brand new video for one of the finest songs on it. It’s a new visualiser for the endlessly gorgeous ‘Andromeda’ and has been directed by the artist herself alongside Ambar Navarro…

THERE’S NEW CAN THINGS TO HEAR
Everyone likes Can. They’re ace aren’t they? Well, Mute are releasing some live albums of the great German group, and the latest is Can Live in Aston 1977, and that’s out in May. Recorded around the time of ‘Saw Delight’, this line-up is the one with Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli, Holger Czukay and…

ONLINE DJ SETS, WHO GETS PAID + TWITCH
DJs have been looking online to promote their sets for a while now, and at each turn, there’s is always the sticky problem of getting paid. Of course, in clubs and bars, DJs sling out other people’s music and there’s a tacit understanding between all parties that effectively, it’s free promotion for the artist and…
