WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

What’s the deal here? A music blog, being launched in a time when blogging is absolutely dead, especially trying to cover music? What’s the point in that? Well, call it a labour of love.

She’s had a number of belters (and some we’re less keen on, but we won’t police your thoughts by…

ANDREW GOLD’S PSYCHEDELIC LP GETTING REISSUED
Andrew Gold is a brilliant man and he’s been behind a series of incredible pop songs that are the living embodiment of West Coast perfection. He’s a nepo baby, sure, but we don’t hold it against people who make brilliant things. ‘Thank You For Being A Friend’, ‘Lonely Boy’, ‘Never Let Her Slip Away’, ‘How…

WATCH NOW: REGGAE IN BABYLON
The English reggae (and related) scene is one of the most musically enriching and fascinating seams of music anywhere in the world. So much amazing music with so much to say, it’s remarkable that much of it is still something of a niche interest in a broader sense. With that, we turn your attention to…

DAVID BYRNE MUSICAL UPSETS THE UNIONS
David Byrne is a funny one isn’t he? The list of cons about him is about as long as his list of pros – it just depends on whether you weigh the cons the same as the pros, right? And yes, there’s cons. His treatment of Tina Weymouth in Talking Heads is massively uncool. The…
