WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
This is a genuinely lovely bit of news and it doesn’t matter if you’ve heard of Bring Me The Horizon or not. Trust us. Keep reading, it’ll be worth it in the end. What’s going on then? Well, there’s a children’s author called Oliver Sykes. The singer of BMTH is called Oli Sykes. People have…

As Chromeo and A-Trak feature on the song, we considered putting their names in the headline for more Google ranking clout, but decided against it foolishly. Still though, Ric Wilson and Chromeo and A-Trak all on one very, very, very fun new song that will make you wish it was Friday night. It’s retro enough…

The amount of money an artist receives for making music is a hot topic at the moment. Apart from a few at the top, it sincerely looks like a lot of mid-tier and smaller bands simply can’t afford to be musicians, professionally. There’s people playing large gigs who still have office jobs. Whether or not…

If you go on Kate Bush’s website, something’s changed. There, you’ll see a landing page for something called Fish People. Does this mean new music? Let’s not get too excited, but let’s hope, eh? So what do we know? Well, Fish People is a label set up by Kate in 2011. It has focused on…

Rema is referred to as a runaway and the next obvious superstar of African music, and with the latter, that could very well be true if they aren’t already. Inspired by Wizkid, D’Banj and Burna Boy, it isn’t difficult to imagine Rema hitting the same heights with some ease. There’s a couple of new songs…

There’s going to be an anniversary of Queen releasing their first LP, and with that, Radio 2 have asked their listeners to vote on what the group’s best song is. Of course, one of the massive stadium filling songs is going to win, but honestly, someone should rig the vote and have it so something…

Hard Feelings, we think, is Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Amy Doublas. We’d check, but we have to check everything at the minute and it’s tiring. You can just watch the video below, wish it was Friday night already, and then do your own research for once. This is called ‘Dangerous’ and is a remix…

Just because you’ve grown a little weary of one type of thing doesn’t make it automatically bad. However, hip hop has suffered a little from being introspective and melancholy, when given the state of the world, we really could do with a shed-load of in-your-face fun. So with that, thank god for ‘Nasty Dancer’ by…

Some people want to be DJs because they want to share all the music they love with other people. Some people want to become a celebrity. Then, there’s Chris Moyles and we’re not sure what he wants. Does he remind you of one of those lads who turns up half-way through a gig with 7…

WHEN DID DEVENDRA BANHART CHANGE?
This is totally on us really, but we assumed Devendra Banhart was still making acid-folk, but we’re basing that on information in our head that is well over a decade old. Anyway, if you’re not surprised, we were taken aback by his new single which is all synthy and fully produced (by Cate Le Bon,…

ALLAH-LAS GO MILDLY OFF-PISTE
Do you like the Allah-Las? Great news for you is that they’ve announced a new album called ‘Zuma 85’ and there’s a tour afoot and two new songs for you to listen to. The first new song we’ll share is called ‘The Stuff’ which will be a familiar sound to fans, with twangy psych guitars…

NEW BEATLE MUSIC – THAT’S BIG NEWS
The big news is that we’re going to have some new music from The Beatles this year. Will it be great and better than anything they’ve done before? Probably not, but this is still exciting stuff for Fab Four Dorks around the world. We’re excited. Paul McCartney says he’s used artificial intelligence to help create…

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…
