WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Selena Gomez has announced a return to music. Miley Cyrus has confirmed a new song. There’s new Guns N Roses music. However, the entire world is talking about the new single from Portable Radio. Portable Radio – perhaps the greatest band in the entire world right now, not that anyone’s noticed – have a new…

Stephen Steinbrink, who we hadn’t heard of until we pressed play on the below video, has a cool new song out. Let’s tell you some stuff first though, so you get the illusion of value for money, even though we’re doing this for free. There’s going to be a new album called ‘Disappearing Coin’ and…

There’s so many documentaries about musicians that focus on inevitable success or how lonely it is at the top, which is fine and all – but there’s more interesting stories than that. And so, to 1976 documentary about Bradford wannabes Punch. A Close Up North feature called Punch On The Road, it’s 30 minutes of…

![TALKING HEADS TO REUNITE [WAIT]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/talking-heads.jpg?w=1024)
Tina Weymouth’s group – Talking Heads – are going to get back together. That’s bait, obviously. They’re not planning on stepping on stage to make music together BUT it might be a sign that, in their age, things might be mellowing between the members of the group. In fact, they’re regrouping for a Q&A with…

Elvis’ comeback special in ’68 is a legendary moment in pop music. It marked a return to an artist’s roots for one, which wasn’t hugely heard of at the time and, furthermore, reminded everyone that Elvis could be insanely hot – especially when he appeared on screen in his Leather Daddy guise. Now, the TV…

Have you heard of Fievel Is Glauque because you saw them supporting Stereolab? Have you not heard of them, but are interested in a band that supported Stereolab all the same? Well, here’s a new pair of songs from the group called ‘I’m Scanning Things I Can’t See’/’Dark Dancing’ and it’s super good and we…

Hans Zimmer has been made a co-owner of BBC Maida Vale Studios and, we can’t lie, we’re only writing about it because we want to say something else which is related. The BBC sold the historic venue which has been in operation since the ’30s, which has hosted The Beatles, Bowie, Dusty and you know…

Clarence Avant has left us, and leaves a shadow longer than most. You may not have heard of him, but chances are, Clarence has had a profound effect on your record collection. Avant was a music exec and known as The Black Godfather and started off as a manager in NYC. Just for starters, Clarence…

Neil Young’s post Buffalo Springfield career is a fine one, but it wasn’t until ‘Harvest’ happened on the world that he became a legend. In ’72, the album was everywhere and inescapable on the radio. One man wasn’t happy about it, and that man was Bob Dylan. On the LP, fans would find ‘Heart Of…

We’ve not written about That Lizzo Story, because honestly, it all feels a bit like we’d be turning ourselves into a celebrity gossip site if we did. However, it’s a slow news day today. If you’ve missed it, effectively, go and look it up. Trigger warning though – it’s a pretty grim tale and involves…

WHICH BAND DOES KEANU LOVE?
Keanu Reeves is everyone’s non-problematic fave and generally seems like a good dude. Great face too, if we’re still objectifying people in 2023. You can imagine he’s got a half decent and very sizeable record collection, right? His house is probably dead nice. And we’re only mentioning Wyld Stallyns now to say that we won’t…

APRIL FOOL’S DAY
We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED
She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE
It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…
