WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
keiyaA is a new artist to us, but we gather a previous release was called ‘Camille’s Daughter’, and got decent reviews. Well, this is the first new music since then, and it is one of the most luxurious, rich R&B tracks we’ve heard in ages. The new song goes by the title ‘Stupid Prizes’ and

Choosing what music you’d have played at your funeral is a fun game, if you’re the kind of person who likes making arbitrary lists of tunes while you’re sat on the sofa or down the pub. If you’re reading about music for no good reason, chances are you’re one of those people. So what do

We wrote a love letter to Tatyana’s album and redux, because frankly, there’s other artists getting their flowers when she was basically in there first. Not everyone has major label promo money, so it’s important we yell about the great music she’s releasing. Thankfully, she keeps putting out cool stuff, and now there’s ‘Overdue’ which

Look, it doesn’t matter if you heard ‘Police Truck’ by the Dead Kennedys via Tony Hawk, a punk club in the ’80s, or any particular place – it’s essential listening whenever it hits you. With that, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard got DK’s Jello Biafra on stage with them to perform the legendary track,
-
Well, we predicted it, along with all the other Beatles fans who had been keeping their eye on things. There’s going to be a remastered Anthology documentary on Disney+, cleaned up records, and also, a reissue of the weighty and brilliant Anthology book. Pre-orders are go, so if you’re looking for CDs or LP boxsets,

One of the most exciting designers on the planet, Raissa Pardini has been rubbing shoulders with giants like the Rolling Stones, MTV, NY Times, Willie Nelson, Nike, Paul Weller, Brian Eno, as well as having her work acquired by the V&A. There’s also been a raft of gig posters from underground groups, showing that Pardini

Paul Weller has always been a political man, and never afraid of talking about what he believes in. From The Jam, to Style Council and beyond, he’s spoken his mind. So with that, it’s remarkable that his accountants should suddenly find fault with that. It’s even more staggering that they didn’t assume he’d do something
-
Take these things with a pinch of salt, but it seems like there’s been a leak of The Beatles 2025 mix of ‘Free As A Bird’. It appeared on Instagram, promptly vanished, but not before some people grabbed it and uploaded it to YouTube. If this is the real deal, then predictably, John Lennon’s vocal
-
We’re really excited about the imminent LP from Tchotchke. Not only was their last album one of our all-time favourites, the new stuff sounds just as brilliant! They’re an absolute marvel live, so we’re hoping they’ll be doing shows this side of the pond, and that we’ll be able to land the vinyl of the

Eagle eyed Beatle fans had noticed that, on Spotify, ‘Free As A Bird’ suddenly had the addition of ‘(1995 Mix)’, which got everyone muttering. This obviously meant that there was going to be an updated mix, presumably employing the improved sound separation technology we saw with the ‘Now And Then’ single. seems to be hinting

THE BIRTH OF PUNK IN NYC
Wanna watch something cool? You’re in luck. Amplified have shared a documentary on YouTube about the start of the New York City punk scene. All the faces you want to see are there – Iggy, Debbie, The Ramones, and talking heads from Jayne County, Alice Cooper, Lenny Kaye, Alan Vega and loads more. From non…

LÉNA C AUTUMN MIX
Léna C has exquisite taste in music and been playing cosmic DJ sets all over the place for a while now. She’s also making her own music which has been tickling our pickle, but right now, we’re focusing on her DJing as she’s released a gorgeous Autumnal mix which is really setting the mood now…

SOFT ROCK GEM FROM CUCO
A new EP is due from Mexican-American soft-rocker Cuco called ‘Hitchhiker’. You’ll be able to listen to the whole thing on November 10th, but obviously, you can listen to a song from it here, first. The track is called ‘Planet Express’ and the whole thing is a gentle number that’s pretty cosmic. Watch the video below…

DID PAUL MCCARTNEY KINDA WRITE THE THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE THEME?
Time to don the tinfoil hat, take a big toke on a bag of spice, and start joining up the dots that may not be there. Strap in. It’ll be fun, we promise. We were watching the incredibly affable Charles Cornell on YouTube dissecting ‘how hard’ the Thomas The Tank Engine theme goes, and pulling…
