![ED SHEERAN MIGHT QUIT MUSIC [JOKES + SERIOUS STUFF]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ed-sheeran.webp?w=1024)
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…

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.

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 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…

There’s a new LP due from Yussef Dayes called ‘Black Classic Music’ on September 8th, and if you’re a head on the UK jazz scene currently, you’ll be more than aware of the swirl around the percussionist right now. Expect some heavy, heavy music for sure. Yussef Dayes, in jazzer form, shared his thoughts: “What…

Kesha’s time with Dr Luke will go down in music history as one of the most troubling chapters we’ve seen, at least in recent years. There’ll be documentaries about it, for sure. Go acquaint yourself if you haven’t already, but get comfy, because there’s a lot to bone up with. If you know already, then…

Ace new group of evil-doers, Deaf Whip, have released a tremendously stylish and sexy live session for you to be summoned by. Deaf Whip are the child of all manner of great shit, and in this you’ll hear psychedelic drone, heavy heavy fuzz, brutalist electronic analogue doom, goth punk, and so much more. A co-pro…

‘Sound of the Underground’ on vinyl? Lovely coloured vinyl? What’s not to love about that, Girls Aloud fans? It’s the 20th anniversary of the LP, and you can pre-order it and then when it eventually arrives at your house, you can hold it like it’s your first born child. Order it via the Girls Aloud…

We were listening to ‘Come On, Eileen’ by Dexy’s the other day, and for the first time ever, wondered what that opening line was all about. If you’re not familiar, its: “Poor old Johnnie Ray; sounded sad upon the radio, moved a million hearts in mono. Our mothers cried, sang along, who’d blame them?“ That’s…

You probably love Thundercat already and, unless you’re some precise age that actively hates the popularity of Tame Impala because you were annoyed at all your classmates liking them when you were ranting and raving about The Cramps or something, you probably quite like a couple of Tame Impala tracks. Well, the two have teamed…

AMAKA FOR YOUR FEET
R&B seems to be traversing into Balearic territory lately and we’re very about it. While SZA has the bedroom SensitiveGirl market cornered, it seems the underground is making plays to chug with downbeat tribal house and sunshine chooglers. The latest track that’s made us want to split a couple of yokes with pals is from…

RICHARD OLSON & THE FAMILIARS
You might know Richard Olson from his stints in The See See and the magic, cosmic country outfit The Hanging Stars – but this time, he’s doing something new with The Familiars. Of course, Olson’s music tends to float toward the psychedelic and we’re happy to report that this LP is no different. In even…

MORE FROM THE ARTHUR RUSSELL VAULTS
All the hip kids love Arthur Russell, so here’s some news to keep them happy – there’s going to be a new album of music which will compile nine previously unreleased tracks. It feels a bit like graverobbing doesn’t it? We’re an insatiable bunch though, us record buyers. Anyway, the LP is called ‘Picture of Bunny…

COOL RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP VIDEO
The BBC Archives are a truly wonderful thing and they’ve just published a video of the Radiophonic Workshop being delightfully eccentric. The first half of the video is a little dry, but stick with it as you’ll soon be in a world of bearded men inventing ramshackle medieval instruments, hand-painted wave forms, and some gloriously…
