WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Holy Wave have a new song out and it’s called ‘Happier’ and it’s a little noisy gem. The band hail from Austin and have an LP coming out called ‘Five Of Cups’ and that’ll be available to buy on August 4th. It features collabs from two Mexican shoegaze bands too, which is pretty neat (Mint

You’ve invariably picked up a Beatle LP, seen that famous green apple, got an emorous sense of well-being, and got on with your day (unless you’re one of those terrible hipsters who think it’s fashionable to hate The Beatles – you do you, boo). Anyway, the famous split apple across two sides of a Beatle

The late Japanese composer and Yellow Magic Orchestra founder Ryuichi Sakamoto’s management have shared the last playlist compiled by the late, great musician. Calling it ‘Ryuichi’s Last Playlist’, they wrote: “We would like to share the playlist that Ryuichi had been privately compiling to be played at his own funeral to accompany his passing. He

When SBTRKT were around last time, they were known for their forward thinking dancefloor chuggers, designed for those kids who weren’t necessarily into dance music and a bit frightened of Techno Lads on pills, but still wanted to scuff their sneakers up on the dirty dancefloors. ‘Pharaohs’ and ‘Wildlife’ were solid gold bangers, but in

Dolly Parton is great fun and it doesn’t matter if her new music is good or bad, because she’s a wonderful woman to have around. In super silly news, she’s announced she’s going rock. And because she’s fucking Dolly fucking Parton and she can do whatever the fuck she wants, she’s basically assembled an eye-watering

Ciara has sneaked back out and you’ll be glad to know it’s a breathy, slow number. In fact, it’s called ‘Slow’, which is handy! We’re going to ignore her terrible taste in men, as that’s for another time, but suffice to say, we like it when she makes music that’s for making out to, and

The Glastonbury Festival (or Pilton Pop Festival to ageing locals) can be annoying, but that’s probably down to being so ubiquitous, right? That said, looking back at it’s history is a potted history of British counterculture, especially when you get back to the heady days of the early ’70s when the hippie dream was still

Thanks to our brains being thoroughly banjaxed by various algorithms, sometimes you stumble across a corner of the internet and find yourself completely disorientated by what you’ve found. Considering the propensity for mad conspiracy theories and memes that have strayed so far away from the original joke that to understand it, it feels like you

This isn’t technically music, but pop culture counts, and we stumbled across a glorious DIY documentary of mall life in ’80s USA Candid interviews with kids hanging out, talking about buying records, flirting, shopping, smoking cigarettes and more. Great accents and haircuts galore. Enjoy.

ALT.WRONGUNS CRY AT PINK FLOYD
Pink Floyd are going to be doing a whole load of things for the anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon. It’ll be 50 and there’s going to be deluxe boxsets and all that stuff, which honestly, you can go and find out about yourself because we’re only mentioning this because the anniversary happens to…

DAVID CROSBY
Bona fide legend and founding member of two of America’s greatest ever groups, David Crosby, has passed away aged a remarkable 81. Founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Croz has left a musical footprint that’ll take some filling. His wife released a statement to Variety: “It is with great sadness after a…

HOT TUNA IS GETTING A REISSUE
Reissues are great aren’t they? Sometimes original pressings are hard to get hold of. Sometimes they’re prohibitively expensive. Sometimes the original pressing sounds like dogshit. Sometimes the vinyl is flimsy. Sometimes you’ve worn your copy out and would like a fresh one for the turntable. So with that, Rhino are reissuing ‘Burgers’, the 1972 LP…
