WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
90s hip hop fans can be very irritating indeed BUT we shouldn’t let gatekeeping Old Heads stop us enjoying the music right? Right. So with that, A Tribe Called Quest are great aren’t they? They never seem to be in the conversation when people are talking about Who Is Best, even when that conversation is
-
More new music which is great that we won’t talk about too much initially, because you can ignore us and just listen to it below. However, for enthusiasm and padding an article out’s sake, Nala Sinephro is fantastic. It’s part ambient, part jazz, all fantastic. It’ll make you feel like you’re in one of those

The price of things are going up, but wages aren’t. It’s a thing that always happens when anyone in any position of power naively believes in trickle down economics. The fact is – and we all know this – rich folk like hoarding their money or spending it on themselves. Add a host of other

You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool

The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x

DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a

It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,

Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for

ART FEYNMAN’S NEW ONE FOR THE CHUGGERS
If you like standing around groups of other dweebs debating what constitutes a track that could slot into a Balearic set, welcome to the fold. We don’t mention that by accident, because when we first heard Art Feynman’s new single ‘Desperately Free’, we wondered exactly that. Anyway, Luke Temple (Art is his alter-ego, of sorts)…

THE XX ROMY SHARES NEW SINGLE
What was that song The XX did? It was alright wasn’t it? To some, that sentence is probably sacrilege as The XX felt like the most important group in the world for a period (and probably for a certain type of person trying to navigate 2009 – swine flu, the death of Michael Jackson etc).…

REVIEW: BLUR // THE BALLAD OF DARREN
Blur surprised everyone with the announcement of new LP ‘The Ballad of Darren’ and there’s a key word in there to get excited about – ballad. Fact is, if you’re a die-in-the-wool Blur fan, you’ll know that they’re a generational talent when it comes to melancholy and the softer side of rock. Of course, tracks…

TRAVIS SCOTT // PROG PYRAMIDS AND A NEW SONG
Travis Scott is planning to do a gig at the Pyramids of Giza, which is very prog of him indeed. There’s been a bit of chatter about the whole thing, with a lot of pushback from Egypt’s Musicians’ Syndicate, who are trying to revoke the permit for the show because it “contradicts the identity of the…
