WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Kaytranada and Aminé are a match made in heaven really, so it’s nice that they’re teaming up again (they’ve worked with each other a bunch before) on a project called KAYTRAMINÉ. Initially, we heard about this via a video on Instagram where their names are being presented on a lovely, orange MPC looking thing. Then, there was…

Kanye West is game for dunking on at every opportunity, which in part is richly deserved, but also really depressing. The man needs to be accountable for the things he says and does, but jesus, it’s rotten watching someone be so very ill in public. With that, along comes cringebag no.1, Drake. He shared a…

The latest FREE RANGE show is up and this one is a little chaotic with loads of killer music on it from all over the world. This one has a guest presenter on it which is real fun. You can listen to it below and the tracklist is a little bit below that. FREE RANGE…

Cosmic country pop? Like Gram Parsons but with a will to actually sell some records? Big claim that, but fuck it, let’s go with it. We’re talking about Jenny Lewis, who is a bit of a legend in certain circles, and who has a most excellent wardrobe (stop pretending that this isn’t a thing that…

It’s funny that ageing rockers bemoan the thin-skins of the yoof, while acting like petulant babies all the time, throwing their toys out of the pram and indulging in very ugly, public, hilarious spats. Just look at Pink Floyd. A very dignified set of old men there. With that, we turn our attentions to KISS.…

Keanu Reeves is everyone’s non-problematic fave and generally seems like a good dude. Great face too, if we’re still objectifying people in 2023. You can imagine he’s got a half decent and very sizeable record collection, right? His house is probably dead nice. And we’re only mentioning Wyld Stallyns now to say that we won’t…

We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

OLDIES ARE STRANGLING NEW BANDS
People are listening to more music than ever, which is great isn’t it? And we told you vinyl sales are up too. Interestingly, looking at the sales and graphs, 2023 saw women at the front, with huge sales from Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Ice Spice, and more. In the weeds of all the data, there’s…

REST EASY, LES MCCANN
Jazz legend and fusion pioneer Les McCann, has left the building. Jazzers loved him, and so to did hip hop royalty, being sampled by some of the greats on numerous famous works. He was 88 years old, so we’ll raise a glass and share some of his music so you can pay the greatest of…

JUSTICE BACK WITH SKUZZ
French house is great isn’t it? Rubbery filtered funk and head-mashing skuzz daftness! Well, if Indie Sleaze is threatening a comeback, and all things being cyclical, here come Justice right on cue and there’s going to be new music from the pair this year! We know this because we were looking at their social media,…

HOPE FOR 2024?
We’ve waved goodbye to 2023. It was weird. Now we’ve got 2024, which is shaping up to be just as weird and war torn. What does that all mean for pop culture and music? We’re hopeful. See, if anything, we’re all getting acclimatised to just how bleak everything is. That’s not to say there won’t…
