WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

There’s been rumours swirling of a new album from Paul McCartney, and he’s been sharing playlists and whatnot, which feature an emoji of a bird. Well, here’s some unverified rumours which we’re definitely sharing because if we’re right, we we can shout TOLD YOU SO, and if we’re wrong, ah well. The new album is…

Primitive Ring are LA based noiseniks who are, in some way related to Ty Segall for what it’s worth, and they have a new track out that reminds us of fun stuff like Bongzilla and The Melvins and psychedelic garage punk and all manner of good stuff! They’re gonna release their new self-titled album on…

6LACK’s ‘East Atlanta Love Letter’ is one of R&B’s modern masterpieces, and fans will have been playing his back catalogue to death while waiting for a new album. Good news is that there’s a new one due on May 22nd, called ‘Love Is The New Gangsta’. More importantly for you now, is the new track…

If you’re old and remember them, or are young and like looking at vintage gear, you’ll know all about those gorgeous consoles that featured in homes. Consoles, for the uninitiated, were beautiful pieces of furniture that housed a record player, speakers, an amp, and sometimes other things like radios and storage. They were the entertainment…

Honestly, it is pretty depressing to keep writing about artificial intelligence. It’s like some kind of black mold that no-one can ever fully scrub away. Of course, there’s something vaguely exciting about the possibilities of future technologies, but this one isn’t cutting it. Away from the literal fascism-supporting elements of Big Tech pushing this on…

We’d kinda like to take the piss out of Elijah Wood, especially now he’s revealed he’s doing a Lord of the Rings rave. However, he seems like a genuinely nice bloke with nice interests, so we’re not going to be mocking him here. He’s launched an indie record label, released some nice looking headphones made…

Gladie’s new album is coming out at the end of the week and goes by the name of ‘No Need To Be Lonely’. You can have a sneak peek of what it sounds like with new song ‘I Want That For You’. It is kinda grungy, ’90s, noisy realness, if you’ve been yearning for such sounds…

Geoffrey Reiss has a massive, massive record collection. Some say it’s the best record collection in the world, but who could ever call a thing like that, right? It’s certainly an impressive beast, and Reiss is interviewed in a fun video that captures his huge enthusiasm for the records he has, which is much more…

R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe has been relatively quiet since he and his band decided to knock it on the head. Instead of a (lucrative) reunion, Stipe is planning to release his debut solo album soon. He told The Sunday Times newspaper, who we assume you don’t have a subscription for: “I’m working on a solo…

Sometimes, what you really need is an uplifting, catchy, poppy House track to lift your spirits and your mood. One of the finest purveyors of this kind of thing is the legendary Honey Dijon, who has donned her producer hat with a gem of a new track. She’s releasing a new album, aptly called ‘Nightlife’,…

DRAKE SEEMINGLY GOADS KANYE WITH KIM SAMPLE AND WE’RE SO TIRED
Kanye West is game for dunking on at every opportunity, which in part is richly deserved, but also really depressing. The man needs to be accountable for the things he says and does, but jesus, it’s rotten watching someone be so very ill in public. With that, along comes cringebag no.1, Drake. He shared a…

FREE RANGE TRACKLIST APRIL 23
The latest FREE RANGE show is up and this one is a little chaotic with loads of killer music on it from all over the world. This one has a guest presenter on it which is real fun. You can listen to it below and the tracklist is a little bit below that. FREE RANGE…

COSMIC COUNTRY POP FROM JENNY LEWIS
Cosmic country pop? Like Gram Parsons but with a will to actually sell some records? Big claim that, but fuck it, let’s go with it. We’re talking about Jenny Lewis, who is a bit of a legend in certain circles, and who has a most excellent wardrobe (stop pretending that this isn’t a thing that…

KISS ARE AT EACH OTHER’S ELDERLY THROATS AGAIN
It’s funny that ageing rockers bemoan the thin-skins of the yoof, while acting like petulant babies all the time, throwing their toys out of the pram and indulging in very ugly, public, hilarious spats. Just look at Pink Floyd. A very dignified set of old men there. With that, we turn our attentions to KISS.…
