WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Ever see Method Man and Redman’s name together on a new release and hope it sounds exactly like you’d hope it’d sound? Great news for you then, because the legendary pair have teamed up on a track that sounds like super fun Golden Era hip hop that’s funny, fun, brassy, and all that good stuff.

Electric pioneer and Canadian music legend Bruce Haack is always worth diving into when it comes to one of the most interesting and brilliantly oddball back catalogues, so news of a reissue is worth pricking your ears up for. His 1975 work ‘This Old Man’ is being tarted up and you’ll be able to buy…

“You broke my sitar, motherfucker!” In the current climate of pop and rock, it might be impossible to think of a documentary like ‘DIG!’ being made. So unflinching is it in parts, that you can’t foresee the manicured bands of 2025 allowing themselves to be shown quite as starkly as The Dandy Warhols and Brian…

James Elkington has a very pleasing folkie number out – along with a bunch of other songs too – all for a new LP called ‘Pastel De Nada’. The album is out March 28th, and of the new bits, ‘Very Berk Squad’ is a beautiful little instrumental gem. Press play.

AI is objectively awful for people who actually make things. In short, big tech is taking things from people, and it means they’ll lose their income. While some use of AI may make you laugh or be kinda novel, the fact remains that governments the world over are saying that it’s okay for tech companies…

Ever wished someone would make some synthpop that leaned a little more on the gothic side of things, without falling into stupid sexpot Industrial music? We have some great news for you! Circuit des Yeux have released a new track called ‘Canopy of Eden’ which is from new LP ‘Halo On The Inside’. It’s a…

Mclusky have a small but devoted fanbase and, rightly so, even if occasionally the reaction to adoration from the band can seem fractious at times. It’s all part of nervous, tense fun, obviously. They’ve announced a new album called ‘The World Is Still Here and So Are We’, which is their first in 21 years.…

Pearl Charles is great. She’s made shimmering ’70s pop, glitterball disco, and cosmic singer-songwritery stuff. It’s the latter that her latest release errs on the side of, and it’s one of her best songs to date! She’s been working with the brilliant Michael Rault on her new music, and ‘Step Too Far’ is a brooding,…

Kanye has been at it recently and a lot of people have been talking about him being off the meds, which illness his brain has, how he’s not been the same since his mother died, and on and on and on and on and on and… It’s obvious that attention is one of the major…

Look, you should already be subscribed to BANDSPLAINING on YouTube. If you’re not, this is your heads-up. The latest video explains Library Music, so if you’ve been jonesing for someone to dissect what it is, what’s good about it, and who it influenced, this is a great primer to get you going. If you’re already…

WHY DO PEOPLE CLOSE THEIR EARS TO NEW MUSIC AS THEY AGE?
As people get older, many just give up. They’re just not as curious about music as they once where. They fall back into familiar albums and even with the advent of Spotify and music never being so simple to explore, they just bed down into the LPs of their youth like elderly rodents in hay.…

BOB STANLEY & THE BEE GEES
Everyone ought to know by now that Bob Stanley is one of the finest custodians of popular music, being a member of the mighty St Etienne, but also, writer of countless wonderful words about it and putting out so many dynamite compilations – he really has become a national treasure for music geeks, and we’re…

GLASTONBURY STUFF CONFIRMED (WIN TICKETS TOO, POSSIBLY)
Festivals are pretty terrible things, but y’know, people enjoy them so it’s whatever. Kinda cool to watch live music on TV too, so we suppose it’s a net-plus. Anyway, the most lifestyley festival on the UK circuit is Glastonbury and they’ve confirmed some stuff and put a poster out. The main takeaway is that Guns…

BOWIE TO BE ANIMATED LIKE ABBA
David Bowie – a man with regrettably few decent haircuts in such a long and industrious career – is looking like returning from the dead, and starring in a new show that’s like the ABBA Voyage one. Is it virtual reality? It’s not a hologram. You know what we mean. Either way, you’ve got to…
