WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool
-
The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x
-
DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a
-
It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,

Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for
-
Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article
-
There’s few things as satisfying as Pusha T saying ‘YERGHK!’ in a track. He’s a venomous MC alright and sharp as a tack. He’s also quite the businessman, coming up with the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ for McDonald’s and also, heading up the G.O.O.D. Music label. Of course, that’d be Kanye West’s record label there. Now,

It is an unlikely pairing, but Timmy Mallett (yep, that very same one) has unveiled a never-heard-before mix (at least in digital form) of Terry Hall presenting a radio show of songs that mean a great deal to him. Mallett was a DJ on Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio and had a show where he allowed pop

Have you been looking for a Christmas playlist? Doesn’t matter if you like Jesus are not, because it’s basically a secular holiday anyway, what with the amount of booze and gear being done at this most wonderful time of the year. What’s Baileys and beak got to do with a baby being born in the

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’…
