WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Ah, the thorny topic of cultural appropriation eh? Where oldheads go ‘WHY CAN’T I JUST LIKE A LOAD OF STUFF IN WHATEVER WAY I WANT?!‘ and youngheads yell ‘YOU’RE USING OTHER RACES AS FANCY DRESS AND WE’VE HISTORICALLY BEEN MEAN TO THOSE PEOPLE SO IT IS GIVING US THE ICK!!‘ Of course, the majority of…

She’s back. Well, coming back. Rihanna – perhaps the coolest popstar we’ve ever had – hasn’t released any proper music for roughly a million years, since ‘ANTI’ made everyone’s jaws drop. When it was announced that she was going to be the SuperBowl halftime show, everyone got very excited because that possibly means new music!…

Meet Kavi Sharma. Kavi is a doll that makes bangers, and that’s very obviously a fun thing. See, where music production used to be the playground of old lads with hairy ears and stoners, technology has opened it up to everyone, and now, very young people can do it themselves and actual children can aspire…

The Brit Awards (remember those?) is coming in for some justifiable stick this week, as they’ve completely failed to recognise any women in their Best British Artist category. So, what we’ll do is try our best to give them the benefit of the doubt while simultaneously rinsing them and pointing out the women that absolutely…

Paramore have not had an easy ride. When they first appeared on the scene proper, they found themselves working just about as hard as a band can work in the middle of a number of Vans Warped tour where, unsurprisingly for an event made up of frat boys pretending to be skaters and a load…

He’s good is 03 Greedo. A fine rapper indeed. And he’s surprised everyone by dropping a new tape (not a literal tape of course, but that’d be nice if he did). The new release is called ‘FREE 03’ and has 15 songs for you to listen to. It has guesties from the late Drakeo the…

‘Electronic Sound’ isn’t exactly at the front of people’s brains when it comes to Beatle Solo LPs. However, it is one of the more interesting cuts, from a vault that is possibly the most interesting and varied of off-shoot projects of any rock group. This is George Harrison of ‘My Sweet Lord’ lawsuit fame, and…

Obviously, the story surrounding Young Thug’s RICO charges in the US is incredibly serious and very complex. If you’re looking for a serious, considered piece about this whole affair, then you should look somewhere else because, frankly, if we even hint at a sober thought, we’re too emotional and too bias and will fly off…

At the turn of the ’80s, the yoof TV show Something Else had a great featurette on punk in Belfast. If you like local scenes, spotty kids and derelict streets, you’re in for a treat! Of course, ’80s Northern Ireland means – by law – you have to mention sectarianism and The Troubles. We’ve now…

TONY MCPHEE, GROUNDHOGS, RIP
British Blues legend, prog overlord and axe-master, Tony McPhee from The Groundhogs, has sadly passed away. In a FB post on the group’s page, it said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that 79-year-old guitar and blues legend Tony (TS) McPhee, died peacefully at home today 6th June, from complications following a fall last year.”…

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…
