WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Rema is referred to as a runaway and the next obvious superstar of African music, and with the latter, that could very well be true if they aren’t already. Inspired by Wizkid, D’Banj and Burna Boy, it isn’t difficult to imagine Rema hitting the same heights with some ease. There’s a couple of new songs

There’s going to be an anniversary of Queen releasing their first LP, and with that, Radio 2 have asked their listeners to vote on what the group’s best song is. Of course, one of the massive stadium filling songs is going to win, but honestly, someone should rig the vote and have it so something
-
Hard Feelings, we think, is Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Amy Doublas. We’d check, but we have to check everything at the minute and it’s tiring. You can just watch the video below, wish it was Friday night already, and then do your own research for once. This is called ‘Dangerous’ and is a remix
-
Just because you’ve grown a little weary of one type of thing doesn’t make it automatically bad. However, hip hop has suffered a little from being introspective and melancholy, when given the state of the world, we really could do with a shed-load of in-your-face fun. So with that, thank god for ‘Nasty Dancer’ by

Some people want to be DJs because they want to share all the music they love with other people. Some people want to become a celebrity. Then, there’s Chris Moyles and we’re not sure what he wants. Does he remind you of one of those lads who turns up half-way through a gig with 7

Janelle Monae is back with some new music after ‘Dirty Computer’ took over the world. Since then, they’ve been branching out a bit, but we write about music and it’s new tunes we’re most interested in. So, the new track is called ‘Float’ and as the title suggests, it’s a pretty dreamy number – so
-
Men I Trust have a bunch of cool songs, so it’s good that they’ve got a new one out. They hail from Canada and release their own stuff and are generally very cool like that. It’s heady, bedroom indie pop, and this new one may be their strongest song to date. It’s called ‘Ring Of Past’
-
The YouTube ‘My Analog Journal’ is a goldmine for great music tip-offs, with a host of guest DJs simply putting ace records on in a number of lovely looking rooms on some nice kit. It’s a simple premise and all the better for it. There’s no Kids TV presenter gubbins that litters so much of
-
Nick Cave has chimed in about songs getting banned, and honestly, he’s talking like someone down the pub without any hysteria or nonsense and it’s nice to hear. As an aside – he’s wearing a lot of theatre cake at the minute isn’t he? It’s making him look like someone’s wearing a Nick Cave rubber

KUNT UP RADIO COMING SOON
As much as we love glittery pop and divas, it’s fair to say that the media landscape’s representation of gay people can be rather one-dimensional. So with that, we’ve just caught wind of something that looks to shake things up in a fun way, and it’s got a real zinger of a name whichever way…

KEEPING SECRETS WITH BONNIE PRINCE BILLY
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy released some new stuff recently and notably, there was an LP called ‘Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You’. In true Prince Bill form, the song of the same name didn’t feature and he’s released it afterwards. It’s not that confusing or that deep. What it is, is a really good Bonny ‘Prince’ Billy…

ANTHONY BURGESS QUARTET TO GET FIRST AIRING
Of course, most people know Anthony Burgess as the titan behind the frantic and somewhat savage ‘A Clockwork Orange’, but maybe less well known is that the writer was a frustrated musician. Initially an indifferent music listener, it wasn’t until he heard ‘Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune’ by Debussy that his world turned upside down, and…

VID: EVERY OSCAR WINNER, FUN!
Not everything we cover on here is music. Pop Culture is more than bands, even though we’re most interested in music. However, here’s a diversion for your eyes. Evasive makes brilliant videos and you should go subscribe immediately. Informative and blah blah, but very funny and super dry. They’re great ideas too, such as ‘making’…
