WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

We just learned that actor John C Reilly has a fun alter ego which delves into vaudeville, called Mister Romantic, and we’re all up for famous people doing fun stuff like this. He’s got an album out and has been doing one-man shows, and it all sounds super interesting, so we’re writing this so you

Norwegian group, Pip Blom, have always know their way around a tune, and now, the gentle jangle has made way for an electronic, quasi-Balearic chug, which is perfect for this time of year honestly. Taken from the Grip EP, ‘Ring’ chugs along very nicely and it seems that they have opened themselves up to a part of

No, this isn’t bait – gifted MC Leikeli47 told everyone a while ago that she would be removing the mask and just being herself for the next stage of her career. She’s done exactly that in the release of the new track from the new LP. The new album is called ‘Lei Keli ft. 47 /

New band time! They’re called Düül Suns which, with a name like that, you’d expect to be a bunch with a decent record collection or something, including some experimental German music from the ’70s. Well, these are a bunch of lads from New York and while it’s not space music, it is psychedelic. A bit

Nu Jazzers BADBADNOTGOOD are back, and once again we’re pleased to announce, they’re noodling. It’s a groovy affair and if you already like the group, you’re not going to be disappointed here. They’ve teamed up with singer VCR, who says: “This is more than a song to me – it’s a milestone.” Big talk. We

It might feel a bit on the nose, what with her surname being ‘Haha’, but Gelli Haha wants to remind you that, despite all the ills of the world, you’re still allowed to have fun, dance in your underpants at home, and that giddy pop dance music is still on the menu. Now, it’s not

Alison Goldfrapp is one of our most cherished artists, from her work with Orbital in the ’90s, to being a one-woman Electro Glam stomper, to dancefloor queen and witchy, pagan folkie too! She’s just terrific. The good news is that she’s got a new LP coming out in August and it is called ‘Flux’. The

We genuinely think there’s an argument for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony being the most underrated hip hop group ever. Hugely popular of course, and massively influential, but they’re criminally overlooked in a lot of Hall of Fame chat, for our money. In better news, they’ve just released a new single called ‘Aww Shit’, and even better is
-
We’re not trying to be That Guy by getting excited about a DJ playing vinyl and mixing manually, but it is a treat when someone does a cool set the old way. There’s nothing wrong with the USB stick crew, but allow us to feel nostalgic. With that, we just finished listening to a brilliant,

We’re forever rooting for Kacey Musgraves as she’s just about the freshest voice in country music at the moment, and seemingly is unafraid to march to the sound of her own drum, where a lot of other country musicians bind themselves with musical conservatism. Well, Kacey has signed to Lost Highway Records which has relaunched,

FLO MILLI NEW STUFF
Flo Milli – purveyor of very fun shit – has a new album due, and to celebrate that fact, there’s a new track for you to listen to. Two things – 1. It’s called ‘Fruit Loop’; 2. The video looks like a pre-recorded SNL bit. With Ice Spice shaking her ass in the deli, and…

THE LINDA LINDAS BRING THE NOISE
Remember we told you The Linda Lindas were bringing back fun punk? Well, they’re back again, but this time with something even heavier. And, mercifully, even more fun. When we say fun, we mean Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fun. We want to load the second instalment of the game up with all the cheats loaded,…

FACE DOWN IS JERSEY BADNESS
Here we go! We’ve been needing hip hop to get a bit of a kick in the pants and this Jersey sound is just the thing to do it. With that, a new track that you need to get your lugs ’round. It’s by MCVERTT and features Sexxy Red and A$AP Ferg and called ‘Face…

MORE BEHIND THE SCENES DAFT PUNK
Now that Daft Punk are a thing of the past, they’ve allowed some of their human side out with a look behind the scenes. A while ago, they shared some bits with Julian Casablancas that we can’t remember if we shared or not, and now, there’s more! They’re releasing a video series on YouTube called…
