WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

We already told you the ins-and-outs of the new deluxe version of Prince’s ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ edition, so we won’t repeat ourselves again. Interestingly though, there’s another previously unreleased recording to come from the project. This time, it’s a version of ‘Cream’ that shows off a new arrangement and is obviously excellent, because it’s Prince

More new music from Portable Radio! The second single from the imminent ‘Counting To Three’ LP and this one is a Zombies-esque romp that should tickle your pickle no end. The video is a smart animation by the tremendous Nirshath Madhusanka who you can find more about here.

Joni Mitchell’s archive series has been really great and it should be of no surprise that there’s been some real gems that have previously been unheard by us plebs in the vaults. And so, with her Archives Volume 3 which is out October 6th, we’re getting treated to a track called ‘Like Veils Said Lorraine’

My Analog Journal has done it again, this time with a wonderful mix of Haitian psychedelic music, played by Belgian-born DJ Tracksuit (great DJ monicker that) He says: “I fell in love with Haitian music about a year ago after Cedric Woo’s Dance for Haiti mix series inspired me. I went down a Discogs rabbit

Ezra Collective are the first jazz act to win the Mercury Prize (although Speech Debelle feels at least jazz adjacent tbh) and you might have had your interest piqued with this news. Their album ‘Where I’m Meant To Be’ bagged the gong and it got a bunch of approving nods from various heads – and

There’s a strength to the music of Saint Saviour that’s always been impossible to ignore and lyrically, it’s all there laid out if you’re looking in the right places. Well, she’s back with more wonderful music after a handful of really wonderful LPs, and the new track ‘Better Than’ kicks off with “I told my

We were idly reading this piece about the Fatback Band and, jovially we’ll note, they were talking about how underrated they are. They’re 100% correct and they are without doubt one of the most influential bands to ever do it. In the piece, they mentioned a track that we didn’t recognise and if you’re not

We, along with everyone else, was right about the Hackney Diamonds thing, in that it was a new LP from the Rolling Stones. That’s the name of the imminent album and there’s a new song we can listen to called ‘Angry’. The song itself? Well, it sounds like The Stones which is exactly what you’re
-
Sometimes you need a track that just punches you square in the face and runs away cackling like they’ve done you a favour. Handily enough, the new one from Hit Bargain does exactly that. It’s chaotic and loud and dafter than a bag of lit fireworks. The band are made of members of Pains of

Gary Wright has sadly left the building. Even if you think you don’t know him, you probably do, and if not, you ought to get to know his music now. Wright had been unwell for a while, but let us focus on what he did and a life well lived. He started off his creative

WHEN ASKED WHAT QUEEN’S BEST SONG IS, ANSWER THIS
There’s going to be an anniversary of Queen releasing their first LP, and with that, Radio 2 have asked their listeners to vote on what the group’s best song is. Of course, one of the massive stadium filling songs is going to win, but honestly, someone should rig the vote and have it so something…

HARD FEELINGS REMIX IS A BOP
Hard Feelings, we think, is Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Amy Doublas. We’d check, but we have to check everything at the minute and it’s tiring. You can just watch the video below, wish it was Friday night already, and then do your own research for once. This is called ‘Dangerous’ and is a remix…

FLO MILLI WITH THE FUN AS HELL HIP HOP
Just because you’ve grown a little weary of one type of thing doesn’t make it automatically bad. However, hip hop has suffered a little from being introspective and melancholy, when given the state of the world, we really could do with a shed-load of in-your-face fun. So with that, thank god for ‘Nasty Dancer’ by…

CHRIS MOYLES RANT SHOWS HE DOESN’T LIKE MUSIC, BUT YOU KNEW THAT
Some people want to be DJs because they want to share all the music they love with other people. Some people want to become a celebrity. Then, there’s Chris Moyles and we’re not sure what he wants. Does he remind you of one of those lads who turns up half-way through a gig with 7…
