WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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

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
-
If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets

03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be
-
Ed Sheeran has said that he doesn’t see the point in music critics. You might think that this is going to provoke some kind of butt-hurt response from us, given that this is a place for music criticism. Well, largely, there’s a point to this notion, given that people have Spotify and YouTube now, so

Granted, that seems like an incredibly Brexity headline, but V V Brown is back with a new track called ‘Black British’, so we’re not being massive gammons. You may remember V V’s rootsy pop from the Noughties, but it’s 2023, and she’s got something she wants to say. And this is potent stuff, where she

There’s going to be new music from Girls Aloud (if you’re pretending you don’t like them, you can stop now – it’s not cute) and that’s been confirmed by the achingly tremendous Kimberley Walsh. This is to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut LP ‘Sound Of The Underground’. The girls have been moderately active

Great news if you want to sit with a load of other people and watch the Eurovision Song Contest at high volume – it’s going to be broadcast in British cinemas for the first time ever. Of course, everyone was trying to get tickets for the show in Liverpool and the whole thing sold out
-
If you’ve made the killer Bollywood playlist to end them all on Spotify, you may have noticed that it’s not what it once was, and that’s because there’s hundreds of Bollywood music tracks missing on the platform, which is incredibly annoying. This has happened for boring business reasons, rather than anything actively nefarious. Spotify say

Little Richard has long been adored, but he never truly got his flowers like many of his contemporaries did. That’s about to change. And about fucking time. Director Lisa Cortés’ has made a documentary about the greatest rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time called ‘Little Richard: I Am Everything’, which not only looks at

25 YEARS OF MOON SAFARI
Britpop was slowly being tipped into the landfill and the UK pop-loving populace were looking for something else. Something a little less brass and more cosmopolitan. While a lot of the lads traded their shell-toes for Airwalks and air-scratched their way through Big Beat, the flip was ushered in by two Frenchmen who went by…

FOGERTY GETS CREEDENCE BACK (AND THIS IS MORE INTERESTING THAN YOU THINK)
He’s spent half a century fighting of ownership of his songs and finally, at long long last, John Fogerty now has the rights to the Creedence Clearwater Revival discog. Fogerty has bought a majority interest in the global publishing rights from Concord Records who got them after buying out Fantasy Records. The whole thing has…

SPOTIFY DOESN’T WORK FOR MUSICIANS – WILL THIS GUY FIX IT?
Streaming is broken. If you’re a small or independent musician, then Spotify isn’t going to give you a career any time soon. And that’s on purpose. That’s Spotify’s business model. That’s why Spotify are worth more than Paul McCartney, and he’s actually written some of the most enduring songs the world has ever seen, and…

GWEN STEFANI IS JAPANESE APPARENTLY
Ah, the thorny topic of cultural appropriation eh? Where oldheads go ‘WHY CAN’T I JUST LIKE A LOAD OF STUFF IN WHATEVER WAY I WANT?!‘ and youngheads yell ‘YOU’RE USING OTHER RACES AS FANCY DRESS AND WE’VE HISTORICALLY BEEN MEAN TO THOSE PEOPLE SO IT IS GIVING US THE ICK!!‘ Of course, the majority of…
