WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It’s remarkable, that for a band as well documented as The Beatles, that there’s any surprises left. Yet, there we were with our jaws on the floor watching Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’, while Paul McCartney chipped away at a notion until it became the centrepiece of the whole film. Never mind the rooftop gig (great

The wonderful thing about ageing is the acknowledgment of the relentless passing of time. Your knees start hurting. Your sleep is disturbed because you need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. You can end up in a full body brace because your sock was folded slightly oddly in your shoe,

Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on

Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault

REVIEW // TRAVIS SCOTT // UTOPIA
2023 has been a lean year for big time, platinum plated releases, and with the fact that there’s been a sore lack of number ones for the most competitive genre on the planet (after all, hip hop is a contact sport), Travis Scott is here to generate the fuss. And is there much fuss to…

NEW MACCA TOUR?
Looks like Paul McCartney – the greatest living human on planet earth – is planning a big ol’ tour, which is great news for those of us who like seeing someone take yet another victory lap for a frankly absurd life of insane quality. On his social channels, it said ‘GOT TO GET YOU INTO…

STOP BEING TOO HIP // ICE SPICE STILL FUN AS HELL
Ice Spice appeared out of nowhere to many, and she was a breath of fresh air. Pure, fun, hip hop to shake your arse with. Of course, hipsters started saying it wasn’t all that, while at the other end of the spectrum, people started defending her like she was the saviour of hip hop. Neither…

SOFIA KOURTESIS’ SMART DANCE
Sofia Kourtesis is a new name to us, but this track we just heard is an absolute gem that you need to start shuffling your feet to as soon as you can. The Peruvian (but based in Berlin, for what it’s worth) has announced an album called ‘Madres’ which we’re very keen to hear. It’s…
