WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you go on Kate Bush’s website, something’s changed. There, you’ll see a landing page for something called Fish People. Does this mean new music? Let’s not get too excited, but let’s hope, eh? So what do we know? Well, Fish People is a label set up by Kate in 2011. It has focused on…

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…

JAMC ENTER THEIR XTRMNTR PHASE
Bobby Gillespie may have left the Jesus & Mary Chain yonks ago, but there’s still a spiritual connection between the Reids and Primal Scream. With that, JAMC has got a new song out and it reminds us a bit of the Screamteam in their XTRMNTR period. Tenuous, sure, but if we didn’t write something, we’d…

WELL WELL THE HIGH LLAMAS ARE HERE AGAIN
We love the High Llamas and we’re surprised that they’ve just decided to come back with new music. What wonderful news for anyone with ears! The album is going to drop on March 29th on Drag City. There might be some shows too, which is ace. There’s two co-writing credits from Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy too.…

SPOTIFY WRAPPED IS GOOD, FLEETING FUN
Regardless of whether Spotify is a net good for music, one thing that is fun is seeing what people have been listening to. Sure, the psychoanalysis that goes along with it can give you something to mildly worry about at night, but the 2020s just saw people using social media to share music all but…

SPINAL TAP ARE COMING BACK
There’s going to be a bit too much perspective as Spinal Tap are coming back with a new film! And there’s some hot cameos for the new one, just like the original movie! This new one will feature Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks and Elton John, amongst others. Talking with Richard Herring on the RHLSTP podcast,…
