WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s been some palaver about Will Smith using AI to make a show of his look more fun than it apparently was, and while the whole thing is magnificently unimportant in the scheme of things, it did seem a bit fishy. Not to worry though, because while Smith hasn’t spoken about these accusations, he has…

Ever heard of the Mike Stuart Span? Well, if not, you’re not alone. They were a plucky group in the 60s trying to make it big. While stardom didn’t reach them, the BBC were on hand to see what it was like for a young band champing at the bit. It’s a lovely look at…

Our latest radio show is up and available to listen to. It doesn’t matter if you’re signed up for Mixcloud, we think. Anyone can listen, and as ever, it’ll be up for a couple of months so you can listen at your leisure. Anyway, here’s the show itself so you don’t have to search for…

Hayley Williams released some music for free on her website, hidden behind a password, then everyone shared the password, and they disappeared, only to reappear on streaming services as singles. Genuinely, it’s all be very fun and off-the-cuff, and a neat change from the rigmarole of incessant album cycles, eras, and seeded promo work. This…

Without a note being played, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ had annoyed half the internet thanks to the cover artwork. We’re not here for that, because in Sabrina Carpenter, we’ve got a popstar that’s remember that glittery, camp fun is a thing to rejoice. That’s not to say Carpenter lacks substance, but rather, reading too much into…

Hannah Jadagu is new to us, but never mind all that – we really like her new single called ‘Doing Now’, and you might really like it too! The track will appear on new album – ‘Describe’ – which we can hear in full in October, and released on the mighty Sub Pop, which is…

The impact of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ is about as large as sound appearing in movies and TV turning into colour. It’s the song that booted the doors open for rock music. A swirling, technicolour, brain melter of a track, it used tape loops and brilliant imagination to usher in The Beatles psychedelic period, and even…

Remember when the United States of America wasn’t nearly as difficult to look at. Obama was president and while guilty of some Politician Shit, at least he seemed capable, wore the title with a sense of responsibility, and could go for weeks without making any scandalous headlines. Back then, Donald Trump was a noisy conspiracy…

We wrote about the last Automatic release because it was pretty awesome, and now there’s a newer one that’s making us think that we need to keep them in mind, as the next LP might be a total winner. The newest song is called ‘Lazy’ and like the last one, it has a super fun…

keiyaA is a new artist to us, but we gather a previous release was called ‘Camille’s Daughter’, and got decent reviews. Well, this is the first new music since then, and it is one of the most luxurious, rich R&B tracks we’ve heard in ages. The new song goes by the title ‘Stupid Prizes’ and…

NED DOHENY / PEARL CHARLES TEE
As seen above, if you’re a fan of Ned Doheny, you’ve probably long lusted after a t-shirt he was seen in that simply reads ‘L.A. BABE’ on it. It’s an absolute beaut of a shirt, and new artist Pearl Charles agreed, as she got one of her own too! Both, clearly, are total babes. Well,…

REST IN POWER, SINÉAD O’CONNOR
Sinéad O’Connor has died aged 56. It’s strange to write about her passing as, like many music fans, we’ve spent a good amount of time worrying about. While O’Connor showed incredible strength for much of her life, it was obvious there were breaking points and, to be perfectly honest, much of the music press that…

NEW BLACK GRAPE, SURPRISINGLY
Black Grape have announced a new LP, which we didn’t see coming. They might have been talking about it for ages for all we know, but that’s not the point. We’re surprised and it’s not wholly unpleasant, is it? The group, of course, are a project of Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays) and Kermit (Ruthless Rap…

HA HA THIS IS FINE, GOOGLE AI TO READ YOUR MIND
Much like recreational drugs, AI is a fine toy to muck around with if you already know what you’re doing, but wildly annoying in the hands of know-nothings with loud mouths and their hangers on who think it’s the future maaaaan. Anyway, with that, like recreational drugs, we’re going to have to live with it…
