WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • NALA SINEPHRO MAKES YOU FLOAT TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND

    More new music which is great that we won’t talk about too much initially, because you can ignore us and just listen to it below. However, for enthusiasm and padding an article out’s sake, Nala Sinephro is fantastic. It’s part ambient, part jazz, all fantastic. It’ll make you feel like you’re in one of those

  • DO YOU FEEL PRICED OUT OF GOING TO GIGS?

    The price of things are going up, but wages aren’t. It’s a thing that always happens when anyone in any position of power naively believes in trickle down economics. The fact is – and we all know this – rich folk like hoarding their money or spending it on themselves. Add a host of other

  • You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool

  • The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x

  • FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FEEL SORRY FOR DAVID GUETTA

    DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a

  • THE OPPOSITE OF NEWS ABOUT FOALS

    It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,

  • MAC DEMARCO IS BACK FOR XMAS

    Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for

  • NEPO BABIES, EH?

    Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article

  • HACKNEY DIAMONDS + THE STONES?

    The Rolling Stones seem to be up to something. After the wild success of Paul McCartney’s viral campaign for McCartney III where he left clues all over the place about an imminent LP, it seems the Stones are at it now. An advert appeared in a local newspaper for a glass repair shop. The clues…

  • POPULATION II REMEMBER PROG

    We don’t recall having hear of Population II before, but it’s obvious that prog never went away when you listen to their new track ‘C.T.Q.S.’ That’s not a criticism by the way. Only the weak turn their nose up at prog, and the equally weak like prog but can’t joke about it by saying ‘proggy…

  • DAVID BYRNE: A LITTLE TYRANT

    One of the black clouds that has hung over the legacy of Talking Heads is the friction between band members. David Byrne devotees have glossed over his treatment of Tina Weymouth for years – notably ignoring his repeated auditioning of Weymouth. Of course, the rest of the band could be just as difficult, but the…

  • WATCH A NICE MAN FIX A MIGHTY TINY

    This post is, effectively, a record lovers ASMR video. It’s also cute as hell. If you haven’t seen one before, this video details “the world’s smallest record player” aka The Mighty Tiny. They’re the stuff of legend with people who love old record players and enthusiasts of hip old gadgets. In this video, a lovely…
