If you’ve made the killer Bollywood playlist to end them all on Spotify, you may have noticed that it’s not what it once was, and that’s because there’s hundreds of Bollywood music tracks missing on the platform, which is incredibly annoying. This has happened for boring business reasons, rather than anything actively nefarious. Spotify say…

Little Richard has long been adored, but he never truly got his flowers like many of his contemporaries did. That’s about to change. And about fucking time. Director Lisa Cortés’ has made a documentary about the greatest rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time called ‘Little Richard: I Am Everything’, which not only looks at…

Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

ISLET ARE WELSH WONDERS
It’s a bit silly assuming bands are good just because they come from a certain place, but certain countries definitely make us prick our ears up more quickly than others.
