WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We fizzed with excitement when we heard Fabiana Palladino’s ‘I Can’t Dream Anymore’, and now there’s a full length debut album which saw Stereogum saying “they don’t make pop music like this anymore”, and Petridis enthusing and giving it album of the week over at The Guardian. It’s clear that Palladino is doing things differently.…

Keith Haring is rightly having a renaissance these days, even if we’re a smidge worried that a few too many products have been licensed with his work. When he painted, Haring would listen to music and if you’ve ever wondered what he was listening to, wonder no more! The Keith Haring Foundation has compiled the…

Look, we don’t make the rules – but L’Imperatrice are one of the coolest bands on the planet and the fact that they’re French and make a brand of Saint Tropez disco makes them even cooler. So, when they’re dropping an album, you should absolutely prick your ears up. This will be their third LP…

Apologies if you thought this article was about the ace Habibi Funk comps that always tickle the pickle. It’s not, but don’t stop reading! This is a new group called Habibi and they’ve got new stuff out which is fun as shit. There’s a new track called ‘Do You Want Me Now’, and that’s taken…

AI is a thing and an inescapable one at that. It’s been trickled into our lives and it doesn’t look like there’s a great deal anyone can do about it. Now, in manufacturing and science terms, it seems like a genuinely exciting use of this latest flame – but in pop culture, less so. Naturally,…

After starting out in drag (and pretty much seeing it through for his career), Little Richard walked the tightrope of sacred and profane. ‘Tutti Frutti’ was originally about ‘tight booty’, before cleaning it up to be the greatest rock ‘n’ roll song ever recorded. It wasn’t all bangers about anal sex, but the run was…

There’s a lot of great hip hop that never made it to vinyl for whatever reason, so it’s always great when someone reissues one and for the first time in many cases! With that, the always magic Be With have Superstar Quamallah’s ‘Invisible Man’ on the go, to celebrate it’s 15th anniversary. Want to know…

New FREE RANGE radio time! You want the tracklisting so you can read what kind of stuff is on the show before pressing play? Coward! Okay, we’ll play along and give you the goods. Music from all over the world as ever, with new songs and older ones too. On this show, we fawn over…

It’s very interesting that Beyonce has decided to release a country album, in part because it’s a revenge LP after the Country Music Awards committee snubbed her ‘Daddy Issues’ track – hell hath no fury like a wealthy celebrity scorned. It’s also interesting because Beyonce is such a megastar, you have to be curious to…

Nature is fantastic and everyone knows that, but there is a mild reticence when people tell you to reconnect with it, sounding like awful crusties. Sam Lee is probably worried he comes off a bit like that – he pretty much said as much in a recent feature with MOJO – but he needn’t. He…

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…

MORE BEHIND THE SCENES DAFT PUNK
Now that Daft Punk are a thing of the past, they’ve allowed some of their human side out with a look behind the scenes. A while ago, they shared some bits with Julian Casablancas that we can’t remember if we shared or not, and now, there’s more! They’re releasing a video series on YouTube called…
