WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • NICK CAVE LOVES THE ROYALS, GOD, AND OTHER UNFASHIONABLE THINGS

    Nick Cave eh? Like, he’s really loved. Not everyone loves him of course – who is entirely loved? Certain pockets of the internet have turned on David Attenborough, so y’know, who stands a chance? Anyway, we’re not that bothered about Nick Cave’s music so we’re not going to try and cancel him here (over his

  • FUTURE JAZZ WITH HIGH PULP

    Like futuristic music? Like jazz? Well, LA’s High Pulp may well have just the thing for you with their new track called ‘(If You Don’t Leave) The City Will Kill You’. Optimistic title, that. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Days In The Desert’ in July. They’re a collective so there’s loads of

  • A THING THAT WILL ONLY CONFIRM YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT NEIL TENNANT AND/OR DAVID BOWIE

    We’ll keep this brief because not everything has to be a bloody essay. Fact is, if you love David Bowie and you love the Pet Shop Boys, these few words won’t swerve you one jot. Wonderful Neil Tennant has recalled bumping into David Bowie at the Brits in the ’90s. He said: “I remember him

  • 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

  • YUSSEF DAYES BLACK CLASSICAL

    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 IS NOT FUCKING AROUND

    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

  • 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…
