WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Lana Del Rey has a new LP coming out called ‘Lasso’, which means she’s going country, and honestly, it’s a move that feels right doesn’t it? Long an admirer of the aesthetic of faded glamour, big hair and broken women, Hollywood and rhinestones, Lana’s version of country music is likely to be that good kinda
-
They’ve chirpsed half your mates, given three of them STDs and referred to every single one of their exes as ‘mental’, and they got promoted at the bar they worked at, in part, for coming up with a mildly successful drink, in part because they’re willing to get bags in midweek and split them with
-
TikTok are new media, and by and large, record companies are resolutely middle aged. With that, social media and physical media are going to be at loggerheads, and this time, it’s Universal Music who are at it, and they’re going to pull all their music from TikTok in the coming days, after failing to reach
-
We’ve all felt that unswerving love for an artist that makes us want to leap to their defence at the mere mention of their name, because you’re bored of everyone slagging them off. Hashing it out down the pub is one of music’s great theatrical events, but thanks to terminally online culture, lines can be

Caoilfhionn Rose is one of the most original and brilliant voices in modern acid folk, and her newest track ‘Rainfall’ feels like just the tonic for a cure to the wintertime blues. It’s a shimmering, hazy, psychedelic slice of loveliness and, for anyone who has heard her music before, that will come as no surprise
-
Not every day is a new day. Sometimes, you just have to accept that, but then remember that there’s things we forgot to mention. Like our latest radio show, which came out recently. It’s not time sensitive, so you can listen to it whenever you like. Great music from all over the world, with an

Grazia are an indie garage glam punk pop band from London, and they’ve got a stomper out called ‘Cheap’, which tells you everything you need to know about what’s coming when you press play. And it’s great fun! Their debut EP is out in Feb, and that’s called ‘In Poor Taste’ – catching the vibe
-
The amount of non-English performers making waves worldwide is incredibly satisfying to see, because frankly, it’s weird to only listen to music you understand the words of. You telling us that everyone could understand the opening verse of ‘Geno’ when it first came out? Behave yourselves. Anyway, let’s have a listen to the new one
-
We don’t know what’s in the water down Tampa Bay, but They Hate Change have a new one out that falls squarely in the experimental rap hole, and that’s no bad thing. Don’t worry – it’s listenable and fun – it’s not circuit board screaming gloom. They have a new EP out called ‘Wish You
-
What happens when you mix German cosmic prog and Chicago post-rock? Well, you get Dog Unit’s new track called ‘When Do We Start Fighting?’ and it’s sounding really good on first listen! The group hail from London and there’s going to be a new LP in April called ‘At Home’. You can buy music from

LP GIOBBI NEW ONE IS REALLY COOL
Fans of mildly psychedelic pop music should tune-in now, because LP Giobbi has a new track out that’s great and you’ll like it. It comes from a new album called ‘Light Places’ and will be out in May. As none of us are very good at waiting for things, you can hear the new track…

REBECCA BLACK: FORGET THE MEMES – THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING
12 years ago on this very day, Rebecca Black released ‘Friday’ and became a meme. She implored us that we needed to get down on Friday, and over a decade later with the release of her first LP ‘Let Her Burn’, on a literal Friday, it’s very easy to get down, because in a week…

CORONATION TICKET BALLOT FOR THE SCABS AMONGST YOU
This summer, King Charles III will be getting fitted with a new hat and of course, us loyal servants will be allowed to stop averting our eyes for the day to look directly at a man who is still called Prince Charles really. Of course, like all public holiday things, the 24 hour news channels…

WELL THAT’S ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT MAMA
Matthew McConaughey is going to provide the voice for Elvis Presley in a new animated TV series, which explains the terrible joke we made in the headline. Don’t worry – there’ll be more terrible takes to come. Producers at Netflix announced that the Oscar-winning actor will voice to the lead character in the upcoming action-comedy…
