WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Donald Glover doesn’t want to be called Childish Gambino anymore, which is a shame seeing as he got his name from a Wu Tang generator and everyone passed that fact off as new. Not that this is a bad thing – it’s fun sharing pop trivia isn’t it? Anyway, this is the last we’ll hear…

As we talked all the way through Jada Star’s set early on the Saturday morning at the Acoustic Stage, having not been to bed yet, it was clear we were in the presence of something very special. It wasn’t the music coming from the PA – and it certainly wasn’t the people around us who…

The racketeering case concerning Young Thug has taken a new twist. The RICO trial is already the longest criminal trial seen in Georgia, clocking up 18 months, and it doesn’t look like letting up any time soon. However, it has been paused indefinitely thanks to an alleged misconduct by Fulton County Superior Judge Ural Glanville.…

Maybe it was surprising to see SZA headline Glastonbury, maybe it wasn’t. Fact is, there’s millions of people who adore her work and there’s no-one quite like her, and while some people may wonder why she headed the bill, festivals should be taking little risks like that instead of just booking sure-fire artists. Apparently, there…

They’re AM Radio friendly country music, that’s for sure – but Midland sure know how to rock a look. They’re all Nudie suits and big hats and in the slick country universe, they’re about as classic country rock as you can get. The trio have a new single out called ‘Lucky Sometimes’ and will feature…

When we launched THEPOPCORPS, we fully intended to make no money. That was 100% the business model. No sponsorships, no kind editorials in exchange for goods and services from PR companies and record labels. No free tickets. No free albums. You’re more likely to give an honest review when you’re using your own money and…

There’s something in the lizard bit of our brain that just loves a song that sounds like it should be played late and way too loud in a dive bar somewhere. These songs don’t need to reinvent the wheel – they need to be good, honest rock ‘n’ roll, whatever stripe of rock that is.…

Specifically, this version.

It seems that there’s a bit of a cottage industry around Drugdealer, where anyone related to them in any way is putting out sepia-toned ’70s pop, which is obviously a good thing. Are the returns a wholesale great thing? We dunno, but it’s always worth tuning in for honestly, given the strength of the second…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED
She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE
It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

PSYCHEDELIC TWANGS WITH IMMATERIAL POSSESSION
If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…

03 GREEDO BUSS ME A SCRIPT
03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be…
