WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Sometimes, a song title is so good that you need to just write it as the literal headline and then share the song.
-
Phones eh? They’re responsible for that fun gig you watched on YouTube for a band that never played in the country you live in. They’re responsible for that video where someone lost their shit on stage and made the news, and now we all got to see it rather than relying on someone’s word for

We’ve featured Dora Morelenbaum on these pages before so we’re excited to share that she has her debut LP coming out soon! With a mix of bossa, samba and psych, Dora’s music has showcased her to be one of the most exciting new Brazilian artists in the scene. The new album is called ‘Pique’ and
-
Outside of Japan and Korea, everything is a little bit Solo Artist, so it’s lovely to see the flame of girl groups still being carried by FLO who have been doing good bits for a while now with their brand of R&B infused pop music. They recently shared their new track ‘Check’ which they have
-
We appreciate that some people like it when rock and rap mix. There’s no accounting for taste and all that, but the nadir of the late ’90s and early ’00s when Woodstock went from a peace and love festival and turned into an awful frat house party filled with rap-rock groups shows just how dismal
-
Britney Spears has, shall we say, had a very full life. It hasn’t all been peaches and cream, which means news that her life will be getting the biopic treatment is tentatively good news. We say it tentatively because not all biopics are good, but we are 100% rooting for this one because we think
-
It all felt somewhat inevitable that young people would look at the streaming model and wonder why they didn’t have anything to show for their money. Obviously, the convenience of having most of the world’s music in your pocket is a miracle of a thing, but when you look around your room or your house

Look, the rap musical Hamilton was awful. You don’t need to point out how successful it has been, how Lin Manuel Miranda is probably a nice guy, or even how much you liked it – it stunk. One dimensional rapping over old-head beats performed by a cast portraying a bunch of racist white dudes who

We were reading about tg.blk over at another site and liked what we heard. Instead of hoarding this information to ourselves, we thought we would share it here, because that’s what good people do. Seriously – stop hoarding music to yourself – nobody wins when you do that. tg.blk have a new six track EP

Doechii has called herself a number of things over the years – the one we like best is “the trap Grace Jones” – and if that’s piqued your interest, shall we get onto the lovely business of a new record to listen to? She’s got a new one out called ‘Nissan Altima’, which to the

ROGER DALTRY SAYS THERE’S NO POINT IN A NEW WHO LP
Roger Daltrey has been asked if The Who are making music for a new LP. He’s said “what’s the point?” and, honestly, where’s the lie? There’s not many fizzing with excitement at the prospect of a new album from Daltrey and Townshend, is there? No harm like. He said: “What’s the point? What’s the point…

SFA GO DAS KOOLIES
Take four of the Super Furry Animals and you get Das Koolies – a psychedelic techno adventure that shows the gang are still brimming with ideas even when the main project is resting. It’s pulsating and political and ultimately, it’s a load of fun. Whenever the SFA lads are involved in something, it’s always worth…

HUEY LEWIS: COOL GUY, HASN’T SEEN AMERICAN PSYCHO
Huey Lewis is genuinely a cool guy. He’s like the ’80s John Sebastian or something. Great songs, approachable, the people’s champ! Well, his band features heavily in the lore of American Psycho, and even though the movie was released in 2000, he’s still not seen it. Neither have we. We’ve seen a lot of memes…

BRITPOP TV SHOW DUE FOR THOSE APPROACHING MIDDLE AGE
There’s going to be a new four-part series on terrestrial TV called ‘Britpop: The Music That Changed Britain’ so you can relive the long summers of your youth, or if you’re young, listen to your parents talk over the show by regaling you with stories about how mum threw up her ring down the side…
