WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You know what it’s like – you finally get into a new band and think ‘I’d quite like that on vinyl’, only to stumble over the fact that everyone else has been into them for ages and now there’s no LPs left. Well Frank Ocean fans new and old, it has been confirmed that ‘Blonde’…

Obviously, Gruff Rhys is a legend. A really pleasant legend at that. Whether he’s with the Super Furry Animals (easily one of the most underrated bands who ever lived) or solo, Gruff has an uncanny knack for a sugary melody, but always cut with something psychedelic and unusual. There’s no-one quite like him. And now,…

Rochelle Jordan started out way back when, making great but somewhat typical R&B. It was all hot boxes and day ones tackle – however, she burrowed away and emerged with a truly sensational LP called ‘Play With Them Changes’. While most of R&B is concerned with being exactly the type of hot stuff that could…

Pretty exciting news for fans of Cosmic American music and Gram Parsons – there’s some new music on the horizon! It’s not often you get to say something like that – good news indeed! So what’s the craic? Well, if you’re not in the mood for reading, you can just press play on the video…

There’s a brilliant Instagram account by Steve Birnbaum which sees him tracking down the locations of music photos from the past – Nirvana, Madonna, Basquiat, Biggie, Grateful Dead, June & Johnny, Prince, Amy… so many iconic photos that we’ve seen before – but what of the location right now? If you prefer, you can ignore…

Sometimes, someone says something and your brain starts racing. It doesn’t matter if they’re talking a load of cobblers or not, you’ve already internally fired off down seventeen different tangents, and circled around the drain six more times, hoping that someone more diligent will make a documentary about it, or a long-form reader, because this…

Anatolian funk, Turkish psych, whatever you want to call it, has been a super hip and rich seam for record nerds and beat diggers for a little while now, so it was only a matter of time before someone actually Turkish wrestled their music back from the hobbyists and made it for themselves again in…

It’s remarkable, that for a band as well documented as The Beatles, that there’s any surprises left. Yet, there we were with our jaws on the floor watching Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’, while Paul McCartney chipped away at a notion until it became the centrepiece of the whole film. Never mind the rooftop gig (great…

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…
