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

KEIRON HEBDEN X WILLIAM TYLER
Hey Four Tet fans! Keiran Hebden and William Tyler have released a new single called ‘Darkness, Darkness’ and we’re going to share the b-side from it because it’s a great piece of Hauntological Creepcore, and yes, we know saying things are ‘hauntological’ is incredibly fashionable right now. But it is. It sounds like something from…

IRVINE WELSH ON HORRIBLE MUSIC INDUSTRY
The story of Martin Duffy’s death was a hard one to read when his son told of what happened and specifically the alleged treatment by bandmates and associates in Primal Scream. What transpired was very different from what everyone initially thought, and Duffy’s son Louie told an inquest that his father had died in huge…

ST CHARLES SQUARE // BLUR
Not long ’til Blur are playing to a packed out Wembley, and reminding everyone that you can be really English while not being a gammon. With that, they’ve dropped another song from their forthcoming LP and it’s called ‘St Charles Square’ and reminds us of the eponymous LP with a healthy dollop of Modern Life…

LISTEN TO MORT GARSON (THERE’S A NEW THING)
You may have heard the brilliant Plantasia LP by Mort Garson – a gorgeous analogue synth LP designed to help your houseplants grow from 1976 – and if you have and get rightly excited about such things, there’s some good news! A new collection of his music is due out next month and it’s called…
