WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Did you know Mac DeMarco has a new LP out? And did you know it has 199 songs on it? What’s he like eh, the daft sausage. He’s a charming bugger, so instead of being wordy and worthy, we figured we’d let him do the hard work and we’d just share a video where he
-
Remember we wrote about the price of tickets and the wrath of pop fans? Well, seeing as “ticketmaster” has been trending on Twitter for around 4 months solidly this year, it’s obviously not a topic that is likely to cool any time soon. And we’re chucking some more kindling on the fire, because it’s worth

Siouxsie Sioux does seem cooler than all the other UK punk survivors put together, doesn’t she? Then again, the goths have put a claim in for her as theirs too, but whatever. After a hiatus away from the stage, she’s back and we’re stealing someone’s footage to show you, in case you want to see

Here’s a new song called ‘Deceiver’ by Claire Rousay and Helena Deland. It’s released on Mexican Summer who, largely speaking, are a record label you can trust. It’s always worth listening to something if it’s released on Mexican Summer. They’ve put out music by Weyes Blood, Cate Le Bon, Best Coast, Kurt Vile, Connan Mockasin,

What a great thing to have a band name like Alogte Oho & His Sounds of Joy. Who are they? They’re about to make your day a whole lot better. They’re a group from Ghana who make uplifting, brassy Afrobeat and it does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s filled with joy.

One of the UK’s finest soul singers, lovely Linda Lewis, has sadly died. To many, this may be a new name so let us fill you in as tribute and introduce you to some wonderful music in the meantime. Lewis got a break performing with John Lee Hooker, and was courted by Bowie, Rod Stewart,

If you know Adrian Flanagan, you’ll know he’s behind a whole bunch of great music stuff, including The International Teachers of Pop, The Moonlandingz, The Chanteuse & The Crippled Claw and more. Look him up. You’ll have a lovely time. Anyway, at the minute, he’s doing the Acid Klaus thing and there’s a new song
-
When The Weeknd came back with a sort of New Wave angle on his pop-R&B, everyone went nuts, as well as his face. He was making a point about celebrity culture or something, we forget. Well, keep that in mind when you’re listening to the new and very excellent track from Fireboy DML. It’s called
-
Nick Cave eh? Like, he’s really loved. Not everyone loves him of course – who is entirely loved? Certain pockets of the internet have turned on David Attenborough, so y’know, who stands a chance? Anyway, we’re not that bothered about Nick Cave’s music so we’re not going to try and cancel him here (over his

Like futuristic music? Like jazz? Well, LA’s High Pulp may well have just the thing for you with their new track called ‘(If You Don’t Leave) The City Will Kill You’. Optimistic title, that. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Days In The Desert’ in July. They’re a collective so there’s loads of

EUROVISION ’23: WHAT SONGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
It’s almost Eurovision time and, unless you’re the most boring snob on Earth, it’s a celebration of pop, togetherness, campness and crucially, crushing disappointment and outrage. We enjoy the party atmosphere, and as this year’s is being held in Liverpool, you know it’s going to be a banger. We also enjoy yelling at the TV…

ANGULAR, WEIRD ROCK FROM WOMBO
We don’t know much about Wombo other than they’re from Louisville and their new song ‘Slab’ is a wiry, wonky and fantastic slice of garage rock. Do we need to write more words so you get your money’s worth? Frankly, no. Just press play already. This is some fun shit.

WHY 199 SONGS ON MAC’S NEW LP?
Did you know Mac DeMarco has a new LP out? And did you know it has 199 songs on it? What’s he like eh, the daft sausage. He’s a charming bugger, so instead of being wordy and worthy, we figured we’d let him do the hard work and we’d just share a video where he…

WHAT HAVE THE FILTHY CAPITALISTS BEEN SAYING ABOUT TICKET PRICES?
Remember we wrote about the price of tickets and the wrath of pop fans? Well, seeing as “ticketmaster” has been trending on Twitter for around 4 months solidly this year, it’s obviously not a topic that is likely to cool any time soon. And we’re chucking some more kindling on the fire, because it’s worth…
