WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

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,

Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for
-
Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article
-
There’s few things as satisfying as Pusha T saying ‘YERGHK!’ in a track. He’s a venomous MC alright and sharp as a tack. He’s also quite the businessman, coming up with the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ for McDonald’s and also, heading up the G.O.O.D. Music label. Of course, that’d be Kanye West’s record label there. Now,

It is an unlikely pairing, but Timmy Mallett (yep, that very same one) has unveiled a never-heard-before mix (at least in digital form) of Terry Hall presenting a radio show of songs that mean a great deal to him. Mallett was a DJ on Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio and had a show where he allowed pop

Have you been looking for a Christmas playlist? Doesn’t matter if you like Jesus are not, because it’s basically a secular holiday anyway, what with the amount of booze and gear being done at this most wonderful time of the year. What’s Baileys and beak got to do with a baby being born in the

Olivia Rodrigo seems to be doing it right. She was catapulted to fame with a giganto hit and, instead of thinking ‘sod it, let’s make a cash grab and do all the arenas immediately!’, she’s made a conscious decision to play smaller venues, and if the arenas come, then she feels she will have earned

The great thing about running your own blog and not being at all answerable to advertisers and the like, is that you can throw any old cobblers up and it counts as content. Not that this counts as any old cobblers. Someone else, however, has done the work for us. You see, we were going

Have you ever heard of a more perfect pitch for a television show? It’s Mary J. Blige talking to other people, while making their way through a load of wine. Honestly, this should have been on TV for 20something years already. And what is it called? ‘The Wine Down’, that’s what it is called, and

FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE
It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

PSYCHEDELIC TWANGS WITH IMMATERIAL POSSESSION
If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…

03 GREEDO BUSS ME A SCRIPT
03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be…

LETS TALK ABOUT HOW ED SHEERAN DOESN’T SEE THE POINT IN MUSIC CRITICS
Ed Sheeran has said that he doesn’t see the point in music critics. You might think that this is going to provoke some kind of butt-hurt response from us, given that this is a place for music criticism. Well, largely, there’s a point to this notion, given that people have Spotify and YouTube now, so…
