WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The great thing about running your own blog and not being at all answerable to advertisers and the like, is that you can throw any old cobblers up and it counts as content. Not that this counts as any old cobblers. Someone else, however, has done the work for us. You see, we were going

Have you ever heard of a more perfect pitch for a television show? It’s Mary J. Blige talking to other people, while making their way through a load of wine. Honestly, this should have been on TV for 20something years already. And what is it called? ‘The Wine Down’, that’s what it is called, and
-
There’s going to be a lot of words written about the death of Terry Hall, and many of them better researched and with closer ties to the man than this one. He was iconic, drily funny, frustrated, well-dressed and a host of other things that everyone knows. You don’t need telling these things now that
-
Copyright is a funny ol’ thing, but basically, thanks to it being funny, Pink Floyd are quietly doing some stuff and semi hoping you won’t notice, in a bid to keep hold of the copyright. Or not. Who cares? Basically, Ver Floyd have uploaded 18 concerts from the Dark Side of the Moon period (they
-
Over at the Wall Street Journal, Bob Dylan has been talking about what he doesn’t like. You can pretty much imagine the kinds of things he doesn’t like. He’s earned the right to be an old curmudgeon and, if we’re being truthful here, it’s not like he wasn’t a young curmudgeon too. He’s always been

Dolly Parton is – and lets make no bones about this – a legend. Over 130 million records sold, the writer of iconic hits, she’s also good people – a philanthropist you could say. One of her charities have given 182 million free books to kids that need them, she pays for the college tuition
-
You know what it’s like – you finally get into a new band and think ‘I’d quite like that on vinyl’, only to stumble over the fact that everyone else has been into them for ages and now there’s no LPs left. Well Frank Ocean fans new and old, it has been confirmed that ‘Blonde’
-
Obviously, Gruff Rhys is a legend. A really pleasant legend at that. Whether he’s with the Super Furry Animals (easily one of the most underrated bands who ever lived) or solo, Gruff has an uncanny knack for a sugary melody, but always cut with something psychedelic and unusual. There’s no-one quite like him. And now,
-
Rochelle Jordan started out way back when, making great but somewhat typical R&B. It was all hot boxes and day ones tackle – however, she burrowed away and emerged with a truly sensational LP called ‘Play With Them Changes’. While most of R&B is concerned with being exactly the type of hot stuff that could

Pretty exciting news for fans of Cosmic American music and Gram Parsons – there’s some new music on the horizon! It’s not often you get to say something like that – good news indeed! So what’s the craic? Well, if you’re not in the mood for reading, you can just press play on the video

GOAT // NEW COSMIC PSYCH
Goat are Swedish, mysterious, and fucking amazing. A lot of modern psychedelic music focuses on one of two things – a) Hazy, pastoral music, b) Jam band fuzz wig-outs. Not Goat. They’re truly psychedelic in that they feel like they come from somewhere completely alien to the rest of us and dress the part while…

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…
