WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It’s remarkable, that for a band as well documented as The Beatles, that there’s any surprises left. Yet, there we were with our jaws on the floor watching Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’, while Paul McCartney chipped away at a notion until it became the centrepiece of the whole film. Never mind the rooftop gig (great

The wonderful thing about ageing is the acknowledgment of the relentless passing of time. Your knees start hurting. Your sleep is disturbed because you need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. You can end up in a full body brace because your sock was folded slightly oddly in your shoe,

Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on

Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault

What’s the deal here? A music blog, being launched in a time when blogging is absolutely dead, especially trying to cover music? What’s the point in that? Well, call it a labour of love.

Stan Culture – the act of feverishly following a band and defending and promoting them at every conceivable turn – is widespread and has been for a while now.

BILLY NOMATES INCURS THE WRATH OF BORING INDIE FANS
Billy Nomates may or may not be a familiar name to you, but her situation will be. She’s getting hauled over hot coals by the most boring indie fans in the world, thanks to a prestigious slot at the Glastonbury Festival. In the past, we’ve seen Boring Indie Fans literally set up petitions to try…

B-52s CINDY WILSON IS BACK AND IT’S BALEARIC?
Cindy Wilson is one of the voices of the legendary B-52s and we all know her for the vampy, day-glo garage pop and big wigs. So when she’s back with a new single, we were expecting some bug-eyed fun, and well, we got something very different. Talking about her new album and single, she said:…

NEW ANDRE 3000 LP?
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a person we like more than Andre 3000 at PopCorps. Part of the greatest hip hop act to ever do it, endlessly cool and now, seemingly living his life entirely on his own terms and being spotted around the States just vibing with his wooden flute, any mention of him…
