WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

The Brit Awards (remember those?) is coming in for some justifiable stick this week, as they’ve completely failed to recognise any women in their Best British Artist category. So, what we’ll do is try our best to give them the benefit of the doubt while simultaneously rinsing them and pointing out the women that absolutely…

Paramore have not had an easy ride. When they first appeared on the scene proper, they found themselves working just about as hard as a band can work in the middle of a number of Vans Warped tour where, unsurprisingly for an event made up of frat boys pretending to be skaters and a load…

He’s good is 03 Greedo. A fine rapper indeed. And he’s surprised everyone by dropping a new tape (not a literal tape of course, but that’d be nice if he did). The new release is called ‘FREE 03’ and has 15 songs for you to listen to. It has guesties from the late Drakeo the…

‘Electronic Sound’ isn’t exactly at the front of people’s brains when it comes to Beatle Solo LPs. However, it is one of the more interesting cuts, from a vault that is possibly the most interesting and varied of off-shoot projects of any rock group. This is George Harrison of ‘My Sweet Lord’ lawsuit fame, and…

Obviously, the story surrounding Young Thug’s RICO charges in the US is incredibly serious and very complex. If you’re looking for a serious, considered piece about this whole affair, then you should look somewhere else because, frankly, if we even hint at a sober thought, we’re too emotional and too bias and will fly off…

At the turn of the ’80s, the yoof TV show Something Else had a great featurette on punk in Belfast. If you like local scenes, spotty kids and derelict streets, you’re in for a treat! Of course, ’80s Northern Ireland means – by law – you have to mention sectarianism and The Troubles. We’ve now…

Everything But The Girl are back and it’s easy to worry about such a thing, because older acts can embarrass themselves sometimes. Not the case with Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt though because they love pop music and don’t muck around. It’s their first new tune in 24 years and it’s called ‘Nothing Left To…

Not one of our writers really knows anything about K-Pop because historically, we’ve always covered rock and indie music. However, rock and indie fans don’t generate as much internet traffic as they used to and K-Pop fans apparently do, so we’re going to pretend we’ve always had a soft spot for pop music, and cover…

It’s hard to sound original when there’s been so much music released, ever. However, Daniel Villareal is one of the most original musicians on the planet and you should get into him right now. Melding psychedelic jazz with dubs, post-rock, samba, spiritual music, electronics, and the kitchen sink, Villareal is a truly formidable and very,…

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.…
