WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

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…

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,…

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…

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…

Even though Ride referred to their 1994 LP ‘Carnival of Light’ as “Carnival of Shite”, and being a departure from their usual jangle of noise and shoegaze, many fans regard it a lesser work. The Pop Corporation disagrees, and disagrees hard. You see, back in ’94, Britpop was kicking in and a number of groups…

Perhaps it’s testament to Outkast that any new genre-blurring rap group that emerges immediately makes us think of them. The latest group who are surely getting tickled with that brush are young hot-shots, Paris Texas. That’s nothing to do with the film of the same name, so calm down country boys. It appears that Paris…

You’ll know Phil Hartman whether you know it or not. He was the voice of Simpsons character Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz, Duff Man and more. He was a pivotal member of the SNL cast, and featured in a number of movies and all that good stuff. Normally, any piece about Hartman soon moves into the…

If you’re not following Mystery Discs on YouTube, you’re denying yourself one of the most brilliant and unusual record collections on the planet. With the tagline ‘obscure records are fun’, you’ll find high school bands and amateur outfits performing shaky, gorgeous heartfelt music, Steely Dan covers, big jazz, wonkiness and loads of magic treasure that…

It’s poor form to liken a new artist to a legend straight off the bat, but there’s a wriggling, unescapable something about Ava Rocha that reminds us of Gal Costa. Gal, is of course, one of the most legendary artists to come out of Brazil and the Tropicalia movement, so no pressure Ava. However, while…

NANCY SINATRA RARE STUFF & DEMOS
The good folks over at Light In The Attic have just announced a Nancy Sinatra rarities compilation that’s due out in October, which is great news for anyone with ears! It’s called ‘Keep Walkin’: Singles, Demos & Rarities 1965-1978′ and is more archival work following from the ‘Start Walkin” comp they put out a couple…

UNHEARD PRINCE IS GO!
Since Prince’s untimely passing, the infamous Paisley Park vaults have been prepped to treat us fans with new and unheard bits and thanks to a new super deluxe version of ‘Diamonds and Pearls’, we’re being gifted two things to listen to and honestly, it’s all very exciting and very nerdy. So what have we got?…

FÖLLAKZOID WITH A BIG TECHY WHUMPER
We don’t know a huge amount about Föllakzoid so we looked them up. They’re Chilean, they’ve collabed with Atom™ and J Spaceman from Spiritualized, and most importantly, have a new and huge techno whumper out called ‘V-II’. Apparently, this is the first new music in quite a few years and there’ll be an album out…

HACKNEY DIAMONDS + THE STONES?
The Rolling Stones seem to be up to something. After the wild success of Paul McCartney’s viral campaign for McCartney III where he left clues all over the place about an imminent LP, it seems the Stones are at it now. An advert appeared in a local newspaper for a glass repair shop. The clues…
