WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It’s remarkable, that for a band as well documented as The Beatles, that there’s any surprises left. Yet, there we were with our jaws on the floor watching Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’, while Paul McCartney chipped away at a notion until it became the centrepiece of the whole film. Never mind the rooftop gig (great…

The wonderful thing about ageing is the acknowledgment of the relentless passing of time. Your knees start hurting. Your sleep is disturbed because you need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. You can end up in a full body brace because your sock was folded slightly oddly in your shoe,…

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. Call it foolhardiness. Call it what you want, but the chances of this making any money is basically nil, and thankfully,…

BEREAL, BUT WITH SPOTIFY
It might be a bit of a stereotype to presume that vinyl-loving readers of these pages might see their toes curl up at the notion of any social media platform that requires you to take a photo of yourself, but y’know. Anyway, assuming that we might actually have some readers under the age of 35,…

GAYANCE + JARREAU VANDAL IS ACE
We fizzed with excitement about the Gayance LP, and we’re doing it all over again as she’s teamed up with Jarreau Vandal for an absolute bop. The track is called ‘No More’ and the track is out right now – but if you want to hear it first, then keep scrolling because obviously we’ve embedded…

VENGABOYS VERSUS A DIRTY DOLPHIN
Dolphins are proper dirty fuckers, and with that opening gambit in mind, the Vengaboys have something to tell you. Robin Pors, a Venga himself, said that a dirty dolphin assaulted him. Like that – it wasn’t a mugging. He brushed the whole thing off as a ‘compliment’, because when you’re a Vengaboy, you are irresistible…

SBTRKT X SAMPHA AGAIN
Remember when SBTRKT’s album came out and everyone went wild? That was fun. Well, one of the reasons was the emergence of Sampha on the LP, and on the next SBTRKT long-player, he’ll be back! They’ve reunited for the latest single off the upcoming ‘The Rat Road’, alongside George Riley, and honestly, it rollicks along…
