WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Courtney Barnett is back with a new song and news of a new LP! It’ll be her fourth album and the new song from it features Waxahatchee, and is called ‘Site Unseen’. The album is called ‘Creature of Habit’, and as you’d expect, there’ll be a load of live shows to back it up. Regarding
-
Tinariwen have a new album coming out called ‘Hoggar’, which you’ll be able to listen to in full, on March 13th. It has features from Jose Gonzalez too, which is fun! There’s a single you can hear from it too, called ‘Sagherat Assan’ which features Sudanese artist Sulafa Elyas. There’s an animated video to accompany the
-
Lindsey Jordan – you’ll know her better as Snail Mail – has announced a new album which is called ‘Ricochet’, and again, there’s noisy ’90s-ish guitars and sweet melodies, and some mean eyed views. It’s cool stuff! At the foot of this article, you can hear a new song from the imminent LP, if you’re
-
We don’t necessarily look forward to an album from ASAP Rocky, per se, even if he is capable of occasional cool things. As part of the ASAP Mob, we always looked forward to Ferg’s macho bullshit, but whether you like it or not, Rocky was the star. ‘Goldie’ and ‘F***ing Problems’ were club hits, and
-
Beach Boys ‘Love You’ has seen a huge reappraisal in recent years, and rumours of a box set or deluxe treatment were rife in recent months. Who knew then, that what would be appearing was the first official release of lost Brian piece ‘Adult/Child’ too? Massive news! The set is called ‘We Gotta Groove’ and
-
Elon Musk’s Twitter (no-one is calling it X unless they really have to, behave yourself) is going toe-to-toe with the music industry, which is an unfortunate sequence of events where you almost want no-one to win, but at least the music industry isn’t openly fash. Twitter has filed an antitrust lawsuit against a number of

It’s quite usual to only hear The Beatles spoken about after the fact – it’s all reminiscing, revisionism, and all that. What feels unusual now, is to hear a Beatle talk about just one record, at the time it was being released. With that, someone’s uploaded a full interview from Radio Luxembourg with Tony Mcarthur,
-
Some songs are famous, but some endure in such a unique way, that they keep asking questions. What exactly is ‘Tom’s Diner’ by Suzanne Vega about? That disassociating voice, that beat, the “doo doo doo” bit that’ll earworm you from the minute you first hear it? Vega had already had a worldwide hit with the
-
Manchester is known for being a hotbed of music and DJs, but too many fall into the tired tropes of years past, focusing on nostalgia and making sure the same half dozen faces get the same haf dozen gigs time and time again. Not the case with the latest guest for ‘Ten Songs’ – the
-
Taqbir are amazing and if you’re into righteous, noisy rock music and haven’t heard them yet, you need to get on it at the first opportunity. Good news for those who missed their vinyl release of their self-titled 45, there’s a red variant for sale along with a dynamite t-shirt to let people know you
STOP HOARDING TUNES

KISS ARE AT EACH OTHER’S ELDERLY THROATS AGAIN
It’s funny that ageing rockers bemoan the thin-skins of the yoof, while acting like petulant babies all the time, throwing their toys out of the pram and indulging in very ugly, public, hilarious spats. Just look at Pink Floyd. A very dignified set of old men there. With that, we turn our attentions to KISS.…

WHICH BAND DOES KEANU LOVE?
Keanu Reeves is everyone’s non-problematic fave and generally seems like a good dude. Great face too, if we’re still objectifying people in 2023. You can imagine he’s got a half decent and very sizeable record collection, right? His house is probably dead nice. And we’re only mentioning Wyld Stallyns now to say that we won’t…

APRIL FOOL’S DAY
We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED
She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…
