WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Lindsey Jordan – you’ll know her better as Snail Mail – has announced a new album which is called ‘Ricochet’, and again, there’s noisy ’90s-ish guitars and sweet melodies, and some mean eyed views. It’s cool stuff! At the foot of this article, you can hear a new song from the imminent LP, if you’re
-
We don’t necessarily look forward to an album from ASAP Rocky, per se, even if he is capable of occasional cool things. As part of the ASAP Mob, we always looked forward to Ferg’s macho bullshit, but whether you like it or not, Rocky was the star. ‘Goldie’ and ‘F***ing Problems’ were club hits, and
-
Beach Boys ‘Love You’ has seen a huge reappraisal in recent years, and rumours of a box set or deluxe treatment were rife in recent months. Who knew then, that what would be appearing was the first official release of lost Brian piece ‘Adult/Child’ too? Massive news! The set is called ‘We Gotta Groove’ and
-
Elon Musk’s Twitter (no-one is calling it X unless they really have to, behave yourself) is going toe-to-toe with the music industry, which is an unfortunate sequence of events where you almost want no-one to win, but at least the music industry isn’t openly fash. Twitter has filed an antitrust lawsuit against a number of

It’s quite usual to only hear The Beatles spoken about after the fact – it’s all reminiscing, revisionism, and all that. What feels unusual now, is to hear a Beatle talk about just one record, at the time it was being released. With that, someone’s uploaded a full interview from Radio Luxembourg with Tony Mcarthur,
-
Some songs are famous, but some endure in such a unique way, that they keep asking questions. What exactly is ‘Tom’s Diner’ by Suzanne Vega about? That disassociating voice, that beat, the “doo doo doo” bit that’ll earworm you from the minute you first hear it? Vega had already had a worldwide hit with the
-
Manchester is known for being a hotbed of music and DJs, but too many fall into the tired tropes of years past, focusing on nostalgia and making sure the same half dozen faces get the same haf dozen gigs time and time again. Not the case with the latest guest for ‘Ten Songs’ – the
-
Taqbir are amazing and if you’re into righteous, noisy rock music and haven’t heard them yet, you need to get on it at the first opportunity. Good news for those who missed their vinyl release of their self-titled 45, there’s a red variant for sale along with a dynamite t-shirt to let people know you
-
Like Jack Daniel’s and a concerning attitude toward young women, The Doors are synonymous with the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, thanks in part to Jim Morrison’s cavorting, leather trousers, chewy lyrics and, crucially, this untimely death. When it comes to American psychedelic music, there’s a raft of incredible groups and experimentalists, but really, none of

Honestly, we weren’t following the politics of Venezuela too keenly before the country’s president got pinched by the weirdos in the States. Nicolás Maduro might look like a South American Saddam lookalike these days, which probably helps the MAGA crowd square what they think of the whole thing – however, he was once a noisy

I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE + MUSIC
We were going to write a piece about the music in the brilliant and often bizarre world of I Think You Should Leave. If you’ve not seen it, then half the memes on the internet probably don’t make a lick of sense to you. Go and watch it. Anyway, we said we were going to…

BARBIE MUSIC: A MOVIE THAT WILL BE FUN OR TRYING TOO HARD TO MEME?
Hype can be a terrible thing, leaving us plebs feeling like a moment has shot it’s load before you’ve even got a chance to digest the damned thing. In a period where everything has felt frantic, fraught, and fucking shite, we could all do with a dose of something camp and ridiculous to cheer us…

TONY MCPHEE, GROUNDHOGS, RIP
British Blues legend, prog overlord and axe-master, Tony McPhee from The Groundhogs, has sadly passed away. In a FB post on the group’s page, it said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that 79-year-old guitar and blues legend Tony (TS) McPhee, died peacefully at home today 6th June, from complications following a fall last year.”…

DOES KELIS LOVE BILL MURRAY?
Not a thing we thought we’d be writing in a headline, but here we are. Fact is, the pair have been spotted out together a bunch, and obviously, men and women couldn’t possibly be platonic friends without bumping uglies in the mind of everyone, so what’s the craic? After posting some photos on Instagram featuring…
