WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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…
-
Chaka Khan has taken the gloves off and thrown immense shade at Mariah Carey and Adele. Now, if you’re visiting from some awful stan account or the point of view of a MEGA FAN, then go away already. See, this is pop music. We’re hear to have fun. We’re hear to enjoy the cattiness. Someone…

They’re a Japanese psychedelic band and based in Montreal and they’re called TEKE:TEKE and if that isn’t one of the most flatly factual openings to an article, we don’t know what is. Anyway, not to say we aren’t excited by this new song by them called ‘Garakuta’ – a fried, fuzz wig-out and is delightfully…
-
Kara Jackson has been doing cool things and it’s hard to pin down exactly what that is in a catchy headline. She’s got a cinematic way with words and on a new track, a killer backdrop of Morricone/Ry Cooder dusty twang. It’s dead good. The new track (we’ll get to that in a minute) will feature…

Listen, we shouldn’t give Alex Jones and people like him the time of day. However, sometimes, it’s really funny to talk about them, so we will. And REM’s Mike Mills (who, incidentally, sang REM’s best song ‘Near Wild Heaven’) is on one. Alex Jones has been in a lot of legal bother recently with Info…
-
Drake – possibly pouting somewhere because when is he not slightly pursing his lips – is showing a little remorse for something. Very unlike him that. And ting. So what’s up with him now? Well, he’s said that he regrets mentioning the names of his exes in his music. Appearing on the premiere episode of…

Natural Information Society have a new tune out if you’re in the mood for getting heavy with yourself and flipping your wig. If you’re not aware of them, they’ve been described as “ecstatic minimalism”, which basically means ‘kinda jazz’. They’re from Chicago and that’s always a good sign with these things. A new LP called ‘Since…

Not every day is a news day. Maybe some will happen later? Who knows? Not us. Either way, that’s no excuse for us to not post something. There’s always a blank box that needs filling with some words and a thing, right? With that, we’ve been really enjoying this Argentinian jazz LP by Jorge Lopez…

Daft Punk are doing a 10th anniversary of ‘Random Access Memories’ and it’s out May 12th. That might be all the info you need. There’s a video at the bottom of this article too. For those who need a little more, it includes nine tracks and 35 minutes of unreleased music. Nice. Available on 3xLP,…

How much do you like ‘Loaded’ by the Velvet Underground? Well, if the answer is ‘FUCKING HELL, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!’ and you have a bucket filled with money, you’re in for a treat! A limited edition vinyl reissue is coming out and has a load of unreleased stuff, words, photos and all that…

CHRIS MOYLES RANT SHOWS HE DOESN’T LIKE MUSIC, BUT YOU KNEW THAT
Some people want to be DJs because they want to share all the music they love with other people. Some people want to become a celebrity. Then, there’s Chris Moyles and we’re not sure what he wants. Does he remind you of one of those lads who turns up half-way through a gig with 7…

JANELLE MONAE IS BACK WITH A NEW ONE
Janelle Monae is back with some new music after ‘Dirty Computer’ took over the world. Since then, they’ve been branching out a bit, but we write about music and it’s new tunes we’re most interested in. So, the new track is called ‘Float’ and as the title suggests, it’s a pretty dreamy number – so…

MEN I TRUST ARE BACK WITH A BOP
Men I Trust have a bunch of cool songs, so it’s good that they’ve got a new one out. They hail from Canada and release their own stuff and are generally very cool like that. It’s heady, bedroom indie pop, and this new one may be their strongest song to date. It’s called ‘Ring Of Past’…
