WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Kanye has been at it recently and a lot of people have been talking about him being off the meds, which illness his brain has, how he’s not been the same since his mother died, and on and on and on and on and on and… It’s obvious that attention is one of the major

Look, you should already be subscribed to BANDSPLAINING on YouTube. If you’re not, this is your heads-up. The latest video explains Library Music, so if you’ve been jonesing for someone to dissect what it is, what’s good about it, and who it influenced, this is a great primer to get you going. If you’re already

Remember us telling you about the documentary about Scottish girl groups? We did, y’know? It sounded great didn’t it? Well, you may have thought you wouldn’t be able to watch it without getting in some narrow window of when it was aired at some fun, cool indie cinema somewhere. The good news is that you’ll

Gracie Abrams has opened a can of worms this week, and that’s fine. Pop stars are supposed to run their mouths occasionally, and everyone else in turn, gets to run theirs. That’s the way pop culture works – it’s a contact sport. Speaking about Taylor Swift, she said: “There’s also nothing that comes close to

We liked the Waxahatchee album – ‘Tigers Blood’ – a lot, but sadly got into it too late to have it on our end of year lists. Still, good music is still great whenever you hear it! With that, we’re right on time to hear a new track from the same sessions, and its called

Look, we don’t know a lot about Squid, but you might. Squid feel like one of those bands that people like you probably like. We realise that this sounds like shade, but it’s not. There’s new music to listen to, crucially, and we don’t quite know how to describe it, which in an age of

Such is the paid-for media churn these days, it almost feels redundant writing about bit single releases. What’s the point in telling you what we think, when you’ve already been alerted to the existence of a song, and listened to it yourself? It all reeks of us trying to vaguely grab some traffic off the
-
Instead of shrugging at the inevitability of everything being bad in the world of music, maybe we could all take a few minutes out of our day, to contribute to the future of it. If you want to have your say about the state – and future – of live music, then you’re invited to

The new radio show of ours – Free Range – is out. Music from all over the globe as ever, with new music from Panda Bear, Hayley Williams’ granddad, Everything Is Recorded, Vulfmon, and loads more. There’s a tribute to dear Marianne Faithfull too, as well as the usual shenanigans with a dreadful AI co-host.

Das Koolies – the band that are Super Furry Animals without Gruff – have more acid fried music out! It’s a mixture of Furry psych and acid house (so both kinds of acid then!) and is called ‘Som Bom Magnifico’ and will feature on the new LP, ‘Pando’, which is out in May. Go. Press

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

ELECTRO BEER! POP AND LOCK-IN!
Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

DORTHIA COTTRELL’S DARK HEAVY PSYCH
There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

WHAT IS IT WITH K-POP AND FASCISM?
These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.…
