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.

SUEDE MISSIVES AND A REISSUE
Suede – The Smiths it’s alright to like – are reissuing their debut LP. This is to mark the 30th anniversary of the group’s eponymous album, and there’ll be extra tracks and all-sorts, which you’ll find at the foot of this article if you don’t want to read some pithy asides about them in the…

HAPPY RECORD STORE DAY
Record Store Day might feel like a bit of a crock, but it’s nice to buy LPs and for record shops, it’s an absolute vital and daft, fun day. Anyway, don’t overdo it. Don’t spend more than you have on stuff you don’t want. Don’t buy stuff just to resell it. Go late if you…

BODY OF LIGHT WITH CONVINCING SYNTHPOP
Is it Darkwave? Is it electronica? We don’t know about that, but Body Of Light’s new single ‘This Conversation’ sounds like early Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, and Vince Clarke and all that good stuff to us, and there’s few better compliments than that, right? The group will have a new LP out soon called ‘Bitter…

IVOR NOVELLO RUNDOWN
Do we care about awards these days? Especially in the music industry, they seem rather quaint and outdated, and great within the industry for sure – but should we care about who wins a BRIT any more than who gets Best New Restaurant at the Leicester City Council Awards? Either way, we’ll do a rundown…
