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

LIME GARDEN, NEPOTISM (BABY!)
Lime Garden have a new track out that will thrill retro loving kids and their parents who want to go to gigs again with a ’90s inspired, noisy number and, it’s a wry affair as well, what with it being called ‘Nepotism (Baby)’, which leads us to believe it’s going to be popular indeed. The…

JANE BIRKIN, REPOSE EN PAIX
For the French to take an English person to heart, they have to be pretty special – and of course, they don’t come much more special than Jane Birkin, one of the world’s greatest muses. She died over the weekend, aged 76, forever France’s favourite petite Anglaise. Actor, singer, icon – Birkin was the complete…

LO FI AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL MUSIC
Online, there’s a lot of novel ways of listening to music and super interesting ideas for mixes scattered throughout YouTube, but this week, thanks to the ever wonderful PopBitch mailout, we were alerted to a particularly cool thing. Basically, you can listen to scratchy air traffic control radio backed with lo fi beats, and it…

MORE NEWNESS FROM BONNIE PRINCE BILLY
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy is again, sharing new music, this time with ‘Crazy Blue Bells’ which is classic twisted-folk that we all love the artists also known as Will Oldham, for. “I believe that it is apparent that this piece of work is a celebration of gratitude and collective action,” says Oldham about his new vid…
