WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

We’re really excited about the imminent LP from Tchotchke. Not only was their last album one of our all-time favourites, the new stuff sounds just as brilliant! They’re an absolute marvel live, so we’re hoping they’ll be doing shows this side of the pond, and that we’ll be able to land the vinyl of the…

Eagle eyed Beatle fans had noticed that, on Spotify, ‘Free As A Bird’ suddenly had the addition of ‘(1995 Mix)’, which got everyone muttering. This obviously meant that there was going to be an updated mix, presumably employing the improved sound separation technology we saw with the ‘Now And Then’ single. seems to be hinting…

‘Baybee’ by Jay Som is a favourite at ThePopCorps, and so we’ve always kept an eye out for new music. Luckily for us, there’s the first new album in 6 years coming our way! And things are a smidge different this time ’round. October will see the release of ‘Belong’, but for now, we’ve got…

You know something? It’s really great to hear someone yell their head off on a rap track. It’s all been a bit xannied out for a while, or sad-boi, lonely-at-the-top ‘tune, and it’s little wonder people have been gravitating toward a bit of personality and spark. And so, to Sudan Archives’ new one, ‘Ms Pac…

It must be horrible when people ask you what your songs mean, and so to Jack Cooper’s Modern Nature who have a new song out called ‘Alpenglow’. Apparently, according to Cooper, the track is named after “an optical phenomenon and the name given to the colours around a setting sun. It ties in with the…

Do you like dancing? Do you like pure, joyful things? Do you like a familiar sample, given a fresh twist? You’re going to love this new track from Bakar. Do not hesitate on pressing play on this.

What is MGK, or Machine Gun Kelly, if you prefer. To most, he’s that tattooed guy in the gossip columns who says things like he’s ‘part alien’, and seemed to be in a relationship with Megan Fox that screamed ‘we saw you across the room, liked your vibe, and would you like to come back…

When people acting in bad faith start complaining about pop going woke, it’s funny to think about how political pop used to be and just how much politicians hated people who spoke out about them. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a literal FBI file on them and Elvis snitched to Nixon about the pair,…

Kaytranada is great – everyone knows that. So it is great news that there’s new music to sink our teeth into, right? Well, there’s going to be a new LP called ‘Aint No Damn Way!’ on Friday! That’s tomorrow! Surprise! To whet the appetite, here’s the boogie neon gem ‘Space Invader’ to listen to. A…

No, not a snuff movie – don’t be silly now. Depeche Mode have teamed up with Mexican director Fernando Frias for a new movie which looks at the Mexican relationship with dying, with the group squarely in the film itself. Rather than acting, ‘M’ will revolve around live footage of the group during their ‘Memento…

ED SHEERAN MIGHT QUIT MUSIC [JOKES + SERIOUS STUFF]
Ed Sheeran has said that he might knock the whole music thing on the head if he loses his case in a copyright infringement trial. Are we going to joke about this? Of course we are, because partly, it’s funny in a lowest common denominator way. However, there’s a serious point in all of this…

HIP FONTS OF THE US GOVT
Like looking at ace 70s graphic design? Cool fonts? You’re in luck. You’ll have to not sneer at Richard Nixon briefly, but you’re a grown up, you’ll manage. Here’s a great, short video that should set you off down some graphic design wormholes.

WANT TO SEE CRAZY TOWN HAVING A FIGHT?
You know Crazy Town don’t you? Come my lady, come, come my lady lol. Anyway, we’re not arsed about their music and we’re assuming you’re not either. An embarrassing, ugly fist-fight? COUNT US IN! You’ve probably already seen this, but it’s the weekend and we’ve gone to the pub and just scheduled this. The singers…

RICO NASTY VERSUS 100 GECS IS ALWAYS FUN
Rico Nasty makes mega fun club hip hop, and once again, we see they’re in a tagteam with 100 Gecs, so we’re in for a whole load of trouble as usual! The new track is called ‘Turn It Up’, and seeing as Rico Nasty coined the phrase ‘sugar trap’ about her music, it’s funny that…
