WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Little Richard has long been adored, but he never truly got his flowers like many of his contemporaries did. That’s about to change. And about fucking time. Director Lisa Cortés’ has made a documentary about the greatest rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time called ‘Little Richard: I Am Everything’, which not only looks at

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

BANDCAMP RIP?
It isn’t generally a good sign when a company takes over another company and promptly sacks half the staff, is it? Seen the absolute shambles at Twitter? Exactly. And so to Bandcamp, depressingly. Music licensing company Songtradr bought the platform – widely regarded to be the saviour of independent musicians getting any kind of income…

THE TOUR THAT BROKE THE JACKSONS
You’d think 1984 would be a vintage year for Michael Jackson. His album ‘Thriller’ has basically conquered the world and, for many, redefined what it meant to be a popstar and the subsequent tour only cemented his place in the annals of pop, fully breaking free from the shadow of his pop past. However, post-Thriller,…

THIS WISHY TRACK IS FUN
It’s nice to see the return of noisy indie music. We’re not sure if this is classic college rock, shoegaze or what. It doesn’t really matter as we’re imagining the sound of Wishy cascading over us from a small stage, and it feels real nice. They’re from Indiana and we don’t know too much about…

DANIEL ÖGREN VINYL
Mr Bongo put good records out, and the latest we’ve spotted is a gem from Daniel Ögren, who you might know from our newest favourite band Dina Ögon. Available on special magenta vinyl (and standard obvs), Ögren’s ‘Fastingen-92′ was initially put out on a limited pressing in 2020, and now Mr Bongo have reissued the…
