WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s people who will go to war for Glastonbury, telling you that there’s just nowhere like it. In terms of size, that’s arguably true. However, scope aside, once you’ve been to a bunch of festivals, it’s hard to see what makes it so special, aside from the countless people telling you how special it all…

Mr Balearic himself, DJ Alfredo, has sadly left us after being one of the most influential people in dance music’s history. He was 71 and leaves a huge ray of sunshine behind him, which the rest of the DJing world has been basking in ever since. Born in Argentina, Alfredo ended up in Ibiza and…

We’re going to take some time off for Christmas and New Year. We might sporadically post, we might not. It’s all good right? Hope you enjoy the end of year lists and round-ups. Go buy some records from a local indie or website and treat yourself. See you properly in 2025.

You’ll know Julien Baker from BOYGENIUS and their own career, but now it’s time to give that good ol’ country music a go – rather, road movie, alt country fun stuff, teaming up with Torres. It reminds us a bit of that classic period Wilco stuff, which is no bad thing. Moreso, reminds us of…

Arbitrary lists are no good, really. However, it is nice to praise musicians and the work they’ve done. They may never see the praise on a site as small as this one, but if we send good vibes out into the ether and at least some of you give them a listen, and maybe buy…

We could write a load of stuff about this, but there’s very little point when the contents of the video are so fun and wholesome that it speaks for itself. THUNDERCAT! YO GABBA GABBA! NPR TINY DESK! Press play immediately!

Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be…

Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like…

Do you like Kaytranada? Well, if you’re a European reader, the good news is that he’ll be doing a tour around Europe, which gives you the opportunity to shake your backside. Great stuff. This is part of the ‘Timeless Tour’, and this relates to the LP he released in Summer. Honestly, all these words are…

Streaming is hugely popular and, on the strength of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped graphics to social media platforms, it doesn’t look like it will be going anywhere, anytime soon. Or is it? In the immediacy, Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest, won’t be worrying too much as they continue to rake in cash, left,…

PLAYBOI CARTI’S UNREAL COMMENT SECTION
Playboi Carti has a new song out called ‘EvilJ0rdan’, on the back of some pretty unsavoury stuff. He appeared with Kanye while he was wearing his Klan hood, on the back of an allegation that he’d choked and assaulted his pregnant girlfriend. The track is below and contains lyrics like “monkey nuts, hold me, baby”…

IS TAYLOR SWIFT A GENRE NOW?
A website asked, because of her all conquering popularity, if Taylor Swift is a genre all to herself now. No, of course she isn’t. Don’t be ridiculous.

FUTURE POP FROM AKINI JING
Akini Jing is making some seriously good future pop and you need to get on it right now. New LP is out called ‘VILLAIN’ and after writing for other acts, they’re now keeping the good stuff for themselves. Cyborg-ish, forward thinking music that’s crucially fun and catchy too. New track, ‘Call Me Shadow’, is flawless stuff,…

YOUR DAD HEARD HIS FAVE IS SLATING DRAKE
The thing with Old Heads is that they can’t help but slate stuff they think is new, even though it’s kinda old hat now. Look at any YouTube comment section, and there they are, saying Justin Bieber isn’t good, even though he’s like, thirty years old now or something. Autotune is bad, and new hip…
