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

NME TO RETURN TO SHELVES
Music, Saturday Night Live, football seasons, video games and the NME – they all have one thing in common in that, old people say the exact period they indulged most in them is obviously, unbiasedly, the best period for them. That’s complete cobblers of course, so keep that in mind when we tell you that…

MACCA PODCAST FROM THE MAN HIMSELF
If you want to listen to Paul McCartney speaking about the lyrics of his life, then you’ll be thrilled to learn that there’s going to be a new podcast from the great man called ‘McCartney: A Life In Lyrics’, where he shares stories, inspirations and all that great stuff about a number of his songs.…

JANGLE POP LOVELINESS FROM HURRY
We’d not heard of Hurry before literally just now, but they’ve got a lovely jangle-pop number out, which precedes their new LP, and it’s all very pleasant indeed. The song is called ‘Parallel Haunting’ and will feature on the forthcoming ‘Don’t Look Back’ LP. They hail from Philly and if you like Teenage Fanclub, Guided…

KATHLEEN HANNA: MEMOIR
Like Bikini Kill? Well, you’re in for a treat if the headline didn’t already completely give it away – Kathleen Hanna is going to be releasing a new memoir called ‘Rebel Girl: My Lift As A Feminist Punk’. It’ll be looking at the ’90s punk movement, with an emphasis on the women within it (as…
