WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Get ready for a whole new generation of kids to learn that Phil Spector is a bad character! That’s because, there’s been a long rumoured biopic about Ronnie Spector in the works, and now we know it’s a thing! It’ll be made by A24 (that’s promising, for starters) and Ronnie herself will be played by…
-
With a band name like The Horrors, perhaps it is all a bit much to expect too much cheer on one of their records. With this being 2025, and their first LP arriving in 2007, it seems, The Horrors persist. They’ve ducked and dived in the shadows of their influences for years, touching on garage…
-
Miley Cyrus has gone and announced her new album with a visual teaser. The LP will be called ‘Something Beautiful’, and it is billed as being something that is ‘hypnotic and glamorous’. It’ll be out May 30th. So what can we glean from the spurts of marketing from it? Well, it does seem to have…

Andy Shauf knows his way around a melody, and along the way, has picked up a very dedicated set of fans. He’s got a band called Foxwarren, and they have a new tuneful number out called ‘LISTEN2ME’, and it’s great! There’s going to be a new album too, called ‘2’, which you’ll be able to…

Look, sometimes you get a press release that’s so good, and so comprehensive, that there’s little point in trying to rewrite it and pass it off as your own. With that in mind, after this opening paragraph, we’ve just cut and pasted the whole thing and you’ll get all the info you need from it.…

People who like Cass McCombs are a keen bunch, so they probably already know that there’s a new track from the man himself out. For the rest of us, he’s done a Tiny Desk show for NPR, and he included a new song in it, and we’re linking to the studio version for you to…
-
It really is about time that Sister Rosetta Tharpe had a biopic, seeing as she influenced an entire generation of rock ‘n’ roll artists who came after her – a real trailblazer, and more importantly, in possession of a ferocious talent. With that in mind, a biopic we will get, and playing her will be…
-
While we patiently wait for new music from Weyes Blood, the good news is that she’s covered a song for us to listen to. Of course, she’s got excellent taste and for the soundtrack for a TV show (‘Good American Family’, if you need to know), she’s covered Neil Diamond’s ‘Shilo’. Press play. Hopefully, some…

That headline looks like some kind of bloody equation doesn’t it? Anyway, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs have teamed up with rapper El-P, perhaps to the surprise of some. This collab is going to appear on Pigsx7’s new LP ‘Death Hilarious’, which you can hear on April 4th. Live shows imminent.

He sold the idea of cooking to hipsters too cool to watch regular TV, he’s got a lot of tattoos, was in The Bear, is a restauranteur and all that jazz – now, Matty Matheson has announced he’s got a hardcore band called Pig Pen. He’s announced this on socials, so if you’re a fan,…

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…

SIOUXSIE SIOUX IS BACK. WANNA SEE?
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…

CLAIRE ROUSAY + HELENA DELAND AMBIENT FOLK NICENESS
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,…
