WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
‘It’s Over’ by Tatyana was one of our favourite songs of 2024, so it is great to report that she’s hit 2025 running at full speed with a new acid banger called ‘What Have You Done For Me Lately?’ With shades of Inner City, this is primo strobe house for the warehouse or the club,

No new releases. No news. We’ll have to be patient because we can’t be making stuff up.

There’s people who will go to war for Glastonbury, telling you that there’s just nowhere like it. In terms of size, that’s arguably true. However, scope aside, once you’ve been to a bunch of festivals, it’s hard to see what makes it so special, aside from the countless people telling you how special it all

Mr Balearic himself, DJ Alfredo, has sadly left us after being one of the most influential people in dance music’s history. He was 71 and leaves a huge ray of sunshine behind him, which the rest of the DJing world has been basking in ever since. Born in Argentina, Alfredo ended up in Ibiza and

We’re going to take some time off for Christmas and New Year. We might sporadically post, we might not. It’s all good right? Hope you enjoy the end of year lists and round-ups. Go buy some records from a local indie or website and treat yourself. See you properly in 2025.

You’ll know Julien Baker from BOYGENIUS and their own career, but now it’s time to give that good ol’ country music a go – rather, road movie, alt country fun stuff, teaming up with Torres. It reminds us a bit of that classic period Wilco stuff, which is no bad thing. Moreso, reminds us of
-
Arbitrary lists are no good, really. However, it is nice to praise musicians and the work they’ve done. They may never see the praise on a site as small as this one, but if we send good vibes out into the ether and at least some of you give them a listen, and maybe buy

We could write a load of stuff about this, but there’s very little point when the contents of the video are so fun and wholesome that it speaks for itself. THUNDERCAT! YO GABBA GABBA! NPR TINY DESK! Press play immediately!

Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be
-
Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like

STEVIE NICKS: ENDURES NOT LIKE OTHERS
What is it with Stevie Nicks? It doesn’t matter what generation you’re from, you either love her or are witnessing everyone else fall head-over-heels for her. In 2023, there’s scores of young women in floaty clothes twirling around on TikTok or wherever, fuelled by the power of Stevie Nicks. Now, of course, Stevie is made…

FRANK OCEAN, MAN, WHAT GIVES?
Frank Ocean is, occasionally, brilliant. Sometimes, you’ll hear glimpses of something approaching genius – ‘Pink & White’ and ‘Thinking Bout You’ are impossibly wonderful – but he can be frustrating. That’s fine. We allow people to be the artists they want to be, right? Provided of course, we’re allowed to be the fans we want…

420 IS A CROCK, BUT THIS SONG ROCKS (GENTLY)
We’re not arsed about 4/20, as much as we like shouting ‘BLAZE IT UP’ at the mere mention of it. Anyway, it’s a good excuse to share this song which is very much about weed, because it’s great. If you’re getting stoned today, we hope you have a nice time.

LAEL NEALE’S ALBUM SOUNDS GREAT, HONESTLY
We shared a track from Lael Neale’s new and imminent LP a while ago and got excited about it. There’s been more music since and the newest one is called ‘Must Be Tears’ and we’re now pretty excited about this new album and think it’s going to be ace! Neale’s new LP is called ‘Star Eaters…
