WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool
-
The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x
-
DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a
-
It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,

Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for

Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article
-
There’s few things as satisfying as Pusha T saying ‘YERGHK!’ in a track. He’s a venomous MC alright and sharp as a tack. He’s also quite the businessman, coming up with the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ for McDonald’s and also, heading up the G.O.O.D. Music label. Of course, that’d be Kanye West’s record label there. Now,

It is an unlikely pairing, but Timmy Mallett (yep, that very same one) has unveiled a never-heard-before mix (at least in digital form) of Terry Hall presenting a radio show of songs that mean a great deal to him. Mallett was a DJ on Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio and had a show where he allowed pop

Have you been looking for a Christmas playlist? Doesn’t matter if you like Jesus are not, because it’s basically a secular holiday anyway, what with the amount of booze and gear being done at this most wonderful time of the year. What’s Baileys and beak got to do with a baby being born in the

CARDI B RANTS ABOUT LETTUCE
Listen, you might think that this is some bozo article having a pop at Cardi B – but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, to use modern parlance, we’re shipping Cardi because she’s been ranting about the price of shopping for your groceries, and we agree wholeheartedly. On socials, she let fly…

STONES MONO 16LP BOXSET
For those of you with a few quid or who are insatiable completists, the Rolling Stones in Mono is a boxset of dreams and soon to be released. There were rumours about the boxset that never really fully emerged, but now it has been confirmed and there’s a couple of surprises too. This boxset will…

UK GARAGE PACKAGE TOUR (IT’LL PROBABLY BE A LAUGH)
When you think of package tours, you think of ’70s glam rock oldheads doing the rounds, or maybe some old soulie revue on the Northern Soul circuit, or maybe ’80s popstars wheeled out to do the hits. All good, clean fun. Get a round in, sing your faves, and off you pop. However, package tours…

NBA YOUNGBOY NEW ALBUM
Hits on hits, YoungBoy Never Broke Again has a new album out and it’s called ‘I Rest My Case’ (Jan 6). With occasional flashes of brilliance, and sometimes guilty of trap-by-numbers, what’s he up to now? Well, for starters, he’s signed to Motown which is nothing to be sniffed at, so there’s money and clout…
