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…

MEDIOCRE WITH POP SONG BABY
It’s a bit meta, but it’s a great band name. Mediocre are releasing their debut EP ‘To Know You’re Screwed’ in April, and their new single ‘Pop Song Baby’ is a whole load of fun and we like stuffing it into our ears. They say: “We wanted to write a song that our teenage selves…

ROISIN X DJ KOZE
DJ Koze and Roisin Murphy have worked together before, and they’re at it again, which is great news for feet and ears everywhere. The new one is called ‘CooCool’ and it’s Murphy’s first single released on Ninja Tune. You can skip all the words if you like and just head to the video below. It’s…

MIKE DIMES HITS HARD
His name has been hot shit for a minute and his stock is rising quickly – Texas son Mike Dimes is not letting up and new track ‘Heavy Metal’ goes hard! This will sound good in the club or the car – we’re into it. In ’22, Dimes’ ‘In Dimes We Trust’ LP was very…
