WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We wrote a thing saying that there was trouble afoot with AI music, regarding the music industry. We figured there’d be some legal issues with the copying of valuable assets, but we figured it would take a while for the bizz to get their ducks in a row. However, less than 24 hours after we…

As everyone has a laugh mucking around with AI and asking it daft questions, the comfortingly humourless record companies of the world are almost certainly readying their lawyers. Why? Well, if you can’t be arsed waiting for your fave band to get back together, you can get the robots to do it. First off –…

There’s a sense that all the best new music coming out in 2023 is blessed with an ethereal sense of finally getting outside. Be it chugger daytime dancers, or dreamy psychedelic music, there’s a feeling of finally touching some grass after being stuck inside and nervous for too long. So with that, we go to…

Sure, it might be lazy turning something of a full article out about a single track because it’s new, but seeing as everyone on social media has forgotten how to do tip-offs about the new music they like in favour of hoarding it to themselves so they can unveil it at the end of the…

We’d sorta forgotten Jorja Smith existed honestly, but she’s been off Stateside doing bits, and sadly for her the excitement and promise of her intial releases were pretty much quashed by rumours of getting off with Drake and being the person Stormzy cheated on Maya Jama with. Whether these rumours were true are worth nothing…

You can be mildly irritated by things. Not everything has to be full blown hot take, does it? And the fact is, while Harry Styles seems like a decent enough fella, he’s mildly irritating us. A couple of really good pop songs and all that, the press run for ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ just made us…

One of the most influential people in British bass culture has sadly left the building. Jah Shaka is a magnificently important person when it comes to soundsystem culture in the UK, in part, paving the way for so much music that follow in his footsteps. Born in Jamaica, part of the post-Windrush wave, based in…

Let’s face it – there’s not many better names on the front of a record than Ross From Friends. We can only think of DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ as one we like more. For those not initiated, Ross From Friends makes dance music and a lot of it absolutely slaps. And handily, there’s a…

When Dawn Richard releases new music, you owe it to yourself to listen up. She’s terrifically underrated and versatile and time and time again, she makes wonderful and interesting things. With that, she’s back, and we’re thrilled! The new song is called ‘Bubblegum’ and it’s a whole tonne of maximum fun. Richard has gone super…

JONI MITCHELL BIOPIC
Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

SOME OF YOU HAVE TERRIBLE TASTE IN MUSIC
And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

NEON LOVELINESS FROM MEGA BOG
Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

LEAVING COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WITHOUT READING THE ARTICLE
Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.
