WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
After the absolutely breathtaking spectacle and culture event of the Kendrick/Drake feud, King Kenny wasn’t quite done. We knew he was planning a Super Bowl Halftime show, which honestly, isn’t likely to be half as good as his Pop Out show back in June where he invited half of Los Angeles on stage with him

Look, if you’re the kind of bozo that turns their nose up at jazz, look away now. Jeff Parker is a serious musician who likes to play. Now, you might be thinking of overtly worthy music that is meant to challenge and stimulate and all that – and while Parker is no slouch, there is
-
While we don’t profess to be experts in the ways of desert rock, and worry that we might be typing out ‘dessert rock’ by accident every time, we know what we like, and we like this new one from Dax Riggs. It’s a fine slab of desert sludge fuzz, and this is apparently Riggs’ first
-
French artist Oklou is a new one on us, and y’know, we could pretend that we’ve been all over her music for ages and we’re catching you slow pokes up, but that would be disingenuous. The news we read is that there’s a new album afoot called ‘choke enough’ and that’ll be out in February. We’re
-
Look, we don’t like mentioning Morrissey on here because he sucks, his music stinks, and The Smiths were crap as well. However, he is eminently mockable, and not all music writing (don’t ever call this journalism, for the love of all that’s holy) should be sweetness and light. Often, we don’t even think it needs
-
Some things go together like salt and pepper, sweet and sour, peaches and cream. Saying something is musically comforting can sound like you’re dismissing it, but far from the case with a new track from Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre, it sounds exactly like you want it to – soulful samples and West Coast is

We were listening to the radio and ‘The Only Way Is Up’ by Yazz came on. ‘Who wrote that song?’ we wondered. So obviously, we looked it up and it turns out its a cover version by Otis Clay. We didn’t know that. So, there’s a chance you didn’t know either and it’s a lovely

Andre 3000 has new music on the go. Of course, the last LP was an ambient, earthy album, so anyone expecting a rap album shouldn’t get too excited… but then again, should you rule it out? That’s what we love about 3 Stacks, right? In an interview with the evil overlords at Amazon, he was asked
-
You don’t need an essay every time someone shares a new song with you, right? Basically, what we have here is a super pleasant slice of popsike Americana from the Rose City Band. Related to Wooden Shjips, which is a sign of a good time, eh? We know that it is taken from the forthcoming

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…
