WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s been a burst of activity from seemingly nowhere from JME who, whether he likes it or not, is one of the most talented rappers and performers of his generation. The latest track is ‘4NM’, there was an untitled track last week, there were tracks before that… JME doesn’t release music like most people, so…

Stereolab have announced a big ol’ world tour, which is great news for lovers of bleeps and bloops with super Gallic Library pop! This is to promo some reissues that are coming out and the 35th anniversary of the band, so expect a fan-fave setlist. Recent reissues have featured all manner of demos, unreleased bits…

Wings fans are in for a treat! There’s a new book coming out, officially in tandem with Paul McCartney, and filled with ace photos and drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with Macca and key figures in the Wings universe. The book is called ‘Wings: The Story of a…

While the headline says it all, we really should pretend to give you some value for money by adding some words in the main body of the article. Cactus Lee’s new song is fun though, and there’ll be a self titled LP coming in March too. Elsewhere, he’s said the album is: “a reflection on…

A new album comprised of silent music has been released to protest against changes in copyright law, regarding AI. There’s some big hitters on it too, including Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Damon Albarn, as well as Billy Ocean, Tori Amos, Hans Zimmer, and loads more. You can’t hear them of course, but still. Also…

They call themselves a Flowerkraut Collective, because inventing genres for yourself is fun, but its a pretty handy Post-It for what the group are trying to achieve – an embellished, psychedelic rock that swerves between global psychedelia, German Kosmiche, and a whiff of Library electronics. A sprawling array of members that sometimes reaches double-digits, the…

Do you remember in 2021, when STOMP STOMP CLAP stadium folk group Mumford & Sons were thrown into disarray after it turned out one of their members was a bit fashy? Winston (Aubrey Aladar deBalkan) Marshall praised a book by Andy Ngo which was deemed ‘supremely dishonest’ in its criticisms of the anti-fascist movement, and…

For fans of R&B, and soul music infused with jazz and classical, Roberta Flack was one of the greatest to ever do it. She had hits with Killing Me Softly, and the utterly gorgeous The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, as well as the wonderful Feel Like Makin’ Love which would be covered…
-
They were called Girl Band, and changed their name to Gilla Band. And that wraps up the back story and mandatory SEO stuff so that we hopefully appear on various search engines. Alan Duggan Borges from Gilla Band has a new thing, and it sounds good! This new project is called The Null Club and…

Have you been missing the sounds of indie sleaze and electro clash? Do you still wish you were drinking bottles of Moscow Mules and seeing girls in oversized belts over short skirts? Well, you better listen to the new one from Sextile. With brash synths, shouted verses and 808s, you’ll be firing up Spotify to…

There’s going to be a series of Margo’s music, and the first is a really lovely…

BIG GORGEOUS CSN&Y PHOTOS
You may not have heard of Henry Diltz, but chances are, you’ve seen some of his photos. Diltz was there man, shooting some of the greatest to ever do it, focusing on the assorted crew that hung with Crosby Stills Nash & Young. He’s got a gorgeous new book of photos out called CSN&Y: Love…

ADAM SCOTT’S DADROCK POD
Adam Scott plays Normal Wry Guy better than most, so it’s kinda comforting to know that, in real life, he’s a Grade A Dadrock Guy. Along with Scott Aukerman have a pod which has been through a few names, talking about some serious double denim jams. They talked about U2’s back catalogue with a podcast…
