WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Born in a Derbyshire village in 1941, little did the residents of the High Peak village know that a legend had been born. Vivienne Westwood left Tintwistle for the big smoke to attend art school, but she only lasted one term, because frankly, formal training wasn’t needed for what she was about to give the
-
We can’t imagine we’ll be featuring a huge amount of ice hockey on these pages, but then again, how many surprisingly good disco LPs are based around tips from a professional hockey player? Guy LaFleur died in 2022, and was a Canadian hockey legend, and he once released an LP where he gave training advice
-
90s hip hop fans can be very irritating indeed BUT we shouldn’t let gatekeeping Old Heads stop us enjoying the music right? Right. So with that, A Tribe Called Quest are great aren’t they? They never seem to be in the conversation when people are talking about Who Is Best, even when that conversation is
-
More new music which is great that we won’t talk about too much initially, because you can ignore us and just listen to it below. However, for enthusiasm and padding an article out’s sake, Nala Sinephro is fantastic. It’s part ambient, part jazz, all fantastic. It’ll make you feel like you’re in one of those
-
The price of things are going up, but wages aren’t. It’s a thing that always happens when anyone in any position of power naively believes in trickle down economics. The fact is – and we all know this – rich folk like hoarding their money or spending it on themselves. Add a host of other

You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool

The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x
-
DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a
-
It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,
STOP HOARDING TUNES

REVIEWING FUNERAL SONGS
Choosing what music you’d have played at your funeral is a fun game, if you’re the kind of person who likes making arbitrary lists of tunes while you’re sat on the sofa or down the pub. If you’re reading about music for no good reason, chances are you’re one of those people. So what do…

TATYANA WITH A NEW HOUSE BANGER
We wrote a love letter to Tatyana’s album and redux, because frankly, there’s other artists getting their flowers when she was basically in there first. Not everyone has major label promo money, so it’s important we yell about the great music she’s releasing. Thankfully, she keeps putting out cool stuff, and now there’s ‘Overdue’ which…

JELLO BIAFRA X KING GIZ
Look, it doesn’t matter if you heard ‘Police Truck’ by the Dead Kennedys via Tony Hawk, a punk club in the ’80s, or any particular place – it’s essential listening whenever it hits you. With that, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard got DK’s Jello Biafra on stage with them to perform the legendary track,…

NEW BEATLE ANTHOLOGY COMFIRMED
Well, we predicted it, along with all the other Beatles fans who had been keeping their eye on things. There’s going to be a remastered Anthology documentary on Disney+, cleaned up records, and also, a reissue of the weighty and brilliant Anthology book. Pre-orders are go, so if you’re looking for CDs or LP boxsets,…
