WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots

These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.

If you asked ‘Missy who?’ after reading that headline, then maybe this isn’t the website for you. Anyway, there’s been a lot of noise around FLO this past year, and Pop Justice’s Peter Robinson is a fan and genuinely, that’s something you should always take notice of. They won a BRIT Award, so they’re absolutely

Initially, this article was just going to be a video of a very tired, very angry baby. We bailed on the idea, because that one time someone reviewed a Jet LP with nothing more than a video of a chimp drinking it’s own piss was effectively the pinnacle of that kind of thing, and has

BONGZILLA. Just read that name back. It’s great isn’t it? Read that on a festival line-up, and you’re taking notice aren’t you? Handily, it perfectly captures their sound too – thick, heavy doom psychedelic rock. They’ve got a new song out which does exactly what you want to it to, called ‘Hippie Stick’, and they’ll

If you’re into bossa nova and cool jazz, then we’ve got some good news for you! You don’t have to ferret around looking for old LPs (as nice as that is), because in January, there’s a new one that’ll tickle your pickle. Called ‘The Room’, the cut is by Brazilian guitarist Fabiano do Nascimento and…

TELL YOUR MUM THE LEMONHEADS ARE DOING STUFF
The Lemonheads are coming back and your mum is going to be thrilled. Or maybe you’re the thrilled mum? We don’t use mum in a derogatory way, like only stoopid girls like Evan Dando’s music, because women have always had impeccable taste in music and, it’s no secret that Dando’s brand of jangly indie is a…

INDIE SLEAZE COMEBACK / THE GOSSIP RETURN
Remember Indie Sleaze? You should, because a load of people who loved it an university and sixth form are now the age where they’re editing music pages in broadsheets and making documentaries and all that, so it’s about to go full-blown-revival. The fashion was chaotic and fun, and there were some decent tunes in there…

GOOD GOD THIS CAKES DA KILLA TRACK IS GOOD
If you’ve been jonesing for that breakneck Missy-esque beat of yesteryear with a quick flow skating over the top, you’re about to have a real good time with this new one from Cakes Da Killa. Clubby as hell, ‘Cakewalk’ takes some inspo from calling out the mess that someone’s partner has created. They say: “‘Cakewalk’…
