WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you’ve heard Margo Guryan’s music, then you’re probably already completely head-over-heels with it. Well, if you’ve been eyeing up some vinyl, the fabulous kids over at Numero Uno who can seemingly do no wrong, have something you’ll like! There’s going to be a series of Margo’s music, and the first is a really lovely…

You may not have heard of Henry Diltz, but chances are, you’ve seen some of his photos. Diltz was there man, shooting some of the greatest to ever do it, focusing on the assorted crew that hung with Crosby Stills Nash & Young. He’s got a gorgeous new book of photos out called CSN&Y: Love…

The crew over at Dream Chimney always share amazing music (you can follow them on social media for regular updates on cool shit) and they’ve got a killer mix for the tail-end of summer from Aura Safari. Need to read some words before hitting play? Well, if you’re into Nu-Age, Balearic and Italo bits, this…

Adam Scott plays Normal Wry Guy better than most, so it’s kinda comforting to know that, in real life, he’s a Grade A Dadrock Guy. Along with Scott Aukerman have a pod which has been through a few names, talking about some serious double denim jams. They talked about U2’s back catalogue with a podcast…

From Singapore, named after a Final Fantasy character, and making the kind of music that feels like it was artificially created by grafting the echoes of the literal internet to a young person’s DNA in some experiment that we haven’t worked out if it’s cruel or not, there’s no-one quite like Yeule. Is it tech…

Yes! Mclusky are back! Of course, they’re the most clever-clever knuckleheads who ever graced a bleeding earhole, which means their fans can err on the side of very devoted, but shurrup, they’re fuckin’ dynamite and it’s great they’re back! Back how? Well, with an absolute glorious racket, they’ve put out their first music in a…

John Carpenter is twiddling the knobs again, with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies on a new version of his ’69th St Bridge’ which of course, was first heard on his ‘Escape To New York’. It’s a chunky, gnarly little number that will tickle the pickle of anyone who is into fun, sparse synth music. There’s…

When the tabloids went after George Michael, it was an appalling act of pettiness and spitefulness that saw him outed, not that his legions of fans cared about who he was fucking. So, it was a coup de grâce for George to tackle the whole thing head-on with his next single, ‘Outside’, where he gave…

Jamila Woods, for our money, is sorely underrated in the R&B game. She rarely missed and, in welcome news for our ears, she’s back with a great new song called ‘Good News’. There’ll be a new LP called ‘Water Made Us’ on October 13th, and if it’s anything like her last one ‘LEGACY! LEGACY!’, we’re…
-
Sure, you’ve heard Dire Straits ‘Walk Of Life’ a million times over. It’s a Dadrock masterpiece. It’s got that thin synth organ and boogie guitar, but did you know how hard it went live? Let’s not get bogged down in the whys and the whens, and just get straight into it – this is one…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

WE ASKED AI TO WRITE ABOUT A FAILING BAND
The room was dark, the atmosphere heavy with disappointment and defeat. The band had played their hearts out, but something had gone wrong. Their once-promising career had come to a screeching halt, and now they were left with nothing but shattered dreams and broken spirits. The lead singer sat slumped in a chair, his head…

ROGER DALTRY SAYS THERE’S NO POINT IN A NEW WHO LP
Roger Daltrey has been asked if The Who are making music for a new LP. He’s said “what’s the point?” and, honestly, where’s the lie? There’s not many fizzing with excitement at the prospect of a new album from Daltrey and Townshend, is there? No harm like. He said: “What’s the point? What’s the point…

SFA GO DAS KOOLIES
Take four of the Super Furry Animals and you get Das Koolies – a psychedelic techno adventure that shows the gang are still brimming with ideas even when the main project is resting. It’s pulsating and political and ultimately, it’s a load of fun. Whenever the SFA lads are involved in something, it’s always worth…

HUEY LEWIS: COOL GUY, HASN’T SEEN AMERICAN PSYCHO
Huey Lewis is genuinely a cool guy. He’s like the ’80s John Sebastian or something. Great songs, approachable, the people’s champ! Well, his band features heavily in the lore of American Psycho, and even though the movie was released in 2000, he’s still not seen it. Neither have we. We’ve seen a lot of memes…
