WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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…

Choosing what music you’d have played at your funeral is a fun game, if you’re the kind of person who likes making arbitrary lists of tunes while you’re sat on the sofa or down the pub. If you’re reading about music for no good reason, chances are you’re one of those people. So what do…

We wrote a love letter to Tatyana’s album and redux, because frankly, there’s other artists getting their flowers when she was basically in there first. Not everyone has major label promo money, so it’s important we yell about the great music she’s releasing. Thankfully, she keeps putting out cool stuff, and now there’s ‘Overdue’ which…

Look, it doesn’t matter if you heard ‘Police Truck’ by the Dead Kennedys via Tony Hawk, a punk club in the ’80s, or any particular place – it’s essential listening whenever it hits you. With that, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard got DK’s Jello Biafra on stage with them to perform the legendary track,…

Well, we predicted it, along with all the other Beatles fans who had been keeping their eye on things. There’s going to be a remastered Anthology documentary on Disney+, cleaned up records, and also, a reissue of the weighty and brilliant Anthology book. Pre-orders are go, so if you’re looking for CDs or LP boxsets,…

One of the most exciting designers on the planet, Raissa Pardini has been rubbing shoulders with giants like the Rolling Stones, MTV, NY Times, Willie Nelson, Nike, Paul Weller, Brian Eno, as well as having her work acquired by the V&A. There’s also been a raft of gig posters from underground groups, showing that Pardini…

Paul Weller has always been a political man, and never afraid of talking about what he believes in. From The Jam, to Style Council and beyond, he’s spoken his mind. So with that, it’s remarkable that his accountants should suddenly find fault with that. It’s even more staggering that they didn’t assume he’d do something…

Take these things with a pinch of salt, but it seems like there’s been a leak of The Beatles 2025 mix of ‘Free As A Bird’. It appeared on Instagram, promptly vanished, but not before some people grabbed it and uploaded it to YouTube. If this is the real deal, then predictably, John Lennon’s vocal…

We’re really excited about the imminent LP from Tchotchke. Not only was their last album one of our all-time favourites, the new stuff sounds just as brilliant! They’re an absolute marvel live, so we’re hoping they’ll be doing shows this side of the pond, and that we’ll be able to land the vinyl of the…

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…

TURBO ISLAND HAVE DONE IT AGAIN
We’re still on holiday, but this tee was too good to not share. If you know Turbo Island, you’ll know that’s the place to get the best music t-shirts when it comes to wit, super fun graphic design, and letting your music nerd flag fly. Silly tees about Italo Disco, Todd Rundgren, Arthur Russell and…

PIP BLOM ARE COOL AND BACK TOO
Pip Blom are cool. We liked that album they did. It might have been the last one. They may have done one since then, we don’t know. It doesn’t matter too much because when you hear someone say that a band is cool, you should go and check them out. Stop pretending you’re too busy…
