WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

We’d kinda like to take the piss out of Elijah Wood, especially now he’s revealed he’s doing a Lord of the Rings rave. However, he seems like a genuinely nice bloke with nice interests, so we’re not going to be mocking him here. He’s launched an indie record label, released some nice looking headphones made…

Gladie’s new album is coming out at the end of the week and goes by the name of ‘No Need To Be Lonely’. You can have a sneak peek of what it sounds like with new song ‘I Want That For You’. It is kinda grungy, ’90s, noisy realness, if you’ve been yearning for such sounds…

Geoffrey Reiss has a massive, massive record collection. Some say it’s the best record collection in the world, but who could ever call a thing like that, right? It’s certainly an impressive beast, and Reiss is interviewed in a fun video that captures his huge enthusiasm for the records he has, which is much more…

R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe has been relatively quiet since he and his band decided to knock it on the head. Instead of a (lucrative) reunion, Stipe is planning to release his debut solo album soon. He told The Sunday Times newspaper, who we assume you don’t have a subscription for: “I’m working on a solo…

Sometimes, what you really need is an uplifting, catchy, poppy House track to lift your spirits and your mood. One of the finest purveyors of this kind of thing is the legendary Honey Dijon, who has donned her producer hat with a gem of a new track. She’s releasing a new album, aptly called ‘Nightlife’,…

Here’s the first in what promises to be a sporadic round-up of some of the best shows that have cropped up on Mixcloud. We’re not on the payroll, but we’re hard-pressed to find a better platform for true music lovers sharing their radio shows and mixes for free for those who need ’em. There’s a…

We have already played the new, brilliant track from The Junipers on our radio show. If you tuned in, you’ll know just how fabulous it is to have the greatest band in the world making music again. If you didn’t, don’t worry. The Leicester band have released a video for ‘When She Turns’. The group…

We don’t know how we stumbled across the music of La Sécurité, but we did and played them on our latest radio show, not knowing that there was new music coming out – which it totally is, and we have some to share right here! The Canadian group make an infectious, post-punk-but-danceable racket, and have…

Kacey Musgraves is as camp as you can get, and it’s nice to hear her back in goofy mode, as that’s one of her best lanes. The gentle psychedelic strum of ‘Golden Hour’ and ‘Deeper Well’ isn’t present on this new track, ‘Dry Spell’. Instead, she’s horsing around a la ‘Pageant Material’, and it suits…

The encroachment of artificial intelligence in music is a very real problem and, largely, the businesses that make up the music industry have been somewhat slow to take any real stance on it outside of eyeing up financial opportunities, leaving it to musicians to voice their concerns. Well, something is happening with Apple Music where…

TALIA GODDESS IS ONE TO WATCH
If you’ve been looking for a modern twist on Golden Age hip hop, you’d do well to have a listen to the new one from Talia Goddess. It’s called ‘One Time’, it’s got loads of swagger and a big ol’ beat on it that’ll see people dusting off their ability to spell ‘fat’ with a…

TIM’S LISTENING PARTIES ARE OVER
Tim Burgess has been doing Listening Parties on the internet for some time now, with a mix of new bands that make great music and need a leg-up, as well as some real legends of music. It’s been pretty wholesome all told. Well, all good things must come to an end and Tim’s Listening Party…

MIGUEL / SKIN HOOKS / WE WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING ELSE
Miguel is back – back being the operative word – playing some new stuff from his next LP ‘VISCERA’ and, to grab the headlines, he got his back skin pierced and then suspended from hooks through his bare back. With metal hooks through his flesh, dangling in mid air, he sang “I’m hanging onto nothing…
