WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Mr Balearic himself, DJ Alfredo, has sadly left us after being one of the most influential people in dance music’s history. He was 71 and leaves a huge ray of sunshine behind him, which the rest of the DJing world has been basking in ever since. Born in Argentina, Alfredo ended up in Ibiza and

We’re going to take some time off for Christmas and New Year. We might sporadically post, we might not. It’s all good right? Hope you enjoy the end of year lists and round-ups. Go buy some records from a local indie or website and treat yourself. See you properly in 2025.

You’ll know Julien Baker from BOYGENIUS and their own career, but now it’s time to give that good ol’ country music a go – rather, road movie, alt country fun stuff, teaming up with Torres. It reminds us a bit of that classic period Wilco stuff, which is no bad thing. Moreso, reminds us of
-
Arbitrary lists are no good, really. However, it is nice to praise musicians and the work they’ve done. They may never see the praise on a site as small as this one, but if we send good vibes out into the ether and at least some of you give them a listen, and maybe buy

We could write a load of stuff about this, but there’s very little point when the contents of the video are so fun and wholesome that it speaks for itself. THUNDERCAT! YO GABBA GABBA! NPR TINY DESK! Press play immediately!

Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be
-
Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like

Do you like Kaytranada? Well, if you’re a European reader, the good news is that he’ll be doing a tour around Europe, which gives you the opportunity to shake your backside. Great stuff. This is part of the ‘Timeless Tour’, and this relates to the LP he released in Summer. Honestly, all these words are

Streaming is hugely popular and, on the strength of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped graphics to social media platforms, it doesn’t look like it will be going anywhere, anytime soon. Or is it? In the immediacy, Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest, won’t be worrying too much as they continue to rake in cash, left,

If you’re into Jazzanova, or even Todd Terje or Nu Genea, then here’s something you should get your chops around – the new single from Roi Turbo. The pair are two brothers who go by the name of Benjamin and Conor McCarthy, and they make the kind of music that crosses over out of the

WHICH SONG DID DYLAN HATE OF NEIL YOUNG’S?
Neil Young’s post Buffalo Springfield career is a fine one, but it wasn’t until ‘Harvest’ happened on the world that he became a legend. In ’72, the album was everywhere and inescapable on the radio. One man wasn’t happy about it, and that man was Bob Dylan. On the LP, fans would find ‘Heart Of…

LIZZO DROPPED BY SUPERBOWL? / NFL SUDDENLY CARE
We’ve not written about That Lizzo Story, because honestly, it all feels a bit like we’d be turning ourselves into a celebrity gossip site if we did. However, it’s a slow news day today. If you’ve missed it, effectively, go and look it up. Trigger warning though – it’s a pretty grim tale and involves…

DJS DI GUETTO // HOT LISBON DANCE ENERGY
If you’re not aware of the Príncipe label, you’re in for a treat! There’s a brilliant compilation called DJs Di Guetto and it’s filled with energetic, hot kuduro tracks from the aforementioned. So what are we talking about exactly? Well, the compilation looks at kuduro which was originated in Angola in the late ’80s, but…

COACH PARTY // LOUD AS FUCK
Coach Party are very hotly tipped and all that jazz, and while the world is a mess, it seems like mostly, everything is going a bit more melodic after countless post-punk-lite groups. Not everyone is sunshine and lollipops though, as Coach Party have just unleashed a venomous new track that’ll clear the cobwebs out! It’s…
