WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you go on Kate Bush’s website, something’s changed. There, you’ll see a landing page for something called Fish People. Does this mean new music? Let’s not get too excited, but let’s hope, eh? So what do we know? Well, Fish People is a label set up by Kate in 2011. It has focused on…

Rema is referred to as a runaway and the next obvious superstar of African music, and with the latter, that could very well be true if they aren’t already. Inspired by Wizkid, D’Banj and Burna Boy, it isn’t difficult to imagine Rema hitting the same heights with some ease. There’s a couple of new songs…

There’s going to be an anniversary of Queen releasing their first LP, and with that, Radio 2 have asked their listeners to vote on what the group’s best song is. Of course, one of the massive stadium filling songs is going to win, but honestly, someone should rig the vote and have it so something…

Hard Feelings, we think, is Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Amy Doublas. We’d check, but we have to check everything at the minute and it’s tiring. You can just watch the video below, wish it was Friday night already, and then do your own research for once. This is called ‘Dangerous’ and is a remix…

Just because you’ve grown a little weary of one type of thing doesn’t make it automatically bad. However, hip hop has suffered a little from being introspective and melancholy, when given the state of the world, we really could do with a shed-load of in-your-face fun. So with that, thank god for ‘Nasty Dancer’ by…

Some people want to be DJs because they want to share all the music they love with other people. Some people want to become a celebrity. Then, there’s Chris Moyles and we’re not sure what he wants. Does he remind you of one of those lads who turns up half-way through a gig with 7…

Janelle Monae is back with some new music after ‘Dirty Computer’ took over the world. Since then, they’ve been branching out a bit, but we write about music and it’s new tunes we’re most interested in. So, the new track is called ‘Float’ and as the title suggests, it’s a pretty dreamy number – so…

Men I Trust have a bunch of cool songs, so it’s good that they’ve got a new one out. They hail from Canada and release their own stuff and are generally very cool like that. It’s heady, bedroom indie pop, and this new one may be their strongest song to date. It’s called ‘Ring Of Past’…

The YouTube ‘My Analog Journal’ is a goldmine for great music tip-offs, with a host of guest DJs simply putting ace records on in a number of lovely looking rooms on some nice kit. It’s a simple premise and all the better for it. There’s no Kids TV presenter gubbins that litters so much of…

FREE RANGE / AUGUST TRACKLIST
Here’s the tracklist for the latest FREE RANGE radio show, which is effectively the listenable version of this website albeit with a different name and takes up way more of your time. At least you don’t have to use your eyes and it can join you on the commute to work. Here’s the show to…

GORGEOUS PROTO SAMPLER VIDEO
A piece of vintage kit that’s somewhere between a proto sampler and mellotron? YES PLEASE! A superb lo-fi thing shown off by the YouTube channel called HAINBACH, you see a kinda synth that uses floppy records to loop from and has all manner of cool and cute rhythms, and some gorgeous ambient synth tones. It’s…

NATURE TV NEW ONE IS WELL NICE
We’re very happy that there’s a spate of soft-pop knocking around at the minute. Focusing on gentle catchiness and easy-on-the-ear stylings, one of the most pleasant songs we’ve heard in a while is from Nature TV. The track is called ‘Frida’ and it’s a cuddly, warm thing and is set to feature on a new…

SELENA GOMEZ IS THE MOST LIKEABLE POPSTAR ON THE PLANET
There’s no popstar on Earth more likeable than Selena Gomez. Have you seen ‘Only Murders In The Building’ yet? She’s wonderful in it. Camp cult classic? ‘Spring Breakers’, everyone. A celebrity makeup range that is actually good and people sincerely like it? You bet. Came out of relationships with other celebrities looking like an actual…
