WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Goat are Swedish, mysterious, and fucking amazing. A lot of modern psychedelic music focuses on one of two things – a) Hazy, pastoral music, b) Jam band fuzz wig-outs. Not Goat. They’re truly psychedelic in that they feel like they come from somewhere completely alien to the rest of us and dress the part while

Flo Milli – purveyor of very fun shit – has a new album due, and to celebrate that fact, there’s a new track for you to listen to. Two things – 1. It’s called ‘Fruit Loop’; 2. The video looks like a pre-recorded SNL bit. With Ice Spice shaking her ass in the deli, and

Remember we told you The Linda Lindas were bringing back fun punk? Well, they’re back again, but this time with something even heavier. And, mercifully, even more fun. When we say fun, we mean Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fun. We want to load the second instalment of the game up with all the cheats loaded,

Here we go! We’ve been needing hip hop to get a bit of a kick in the pants and this Jersey sound is just the thing to do it. With that, a new track that you need to get your lugs ’round. It’s by MCVERTT and features Sexxy Red and A$AP Ferg and called ‘Face

Now that Daft Punk are a thing of the past, they’ve allowed some of their human side out with a look behind the scenes. A while ago, they shared some bits with Julian Casablancas that we can’t remember if we shared or not, and now, there’s more! They’re releasing a video series on YouTube called

Even though Ride referred to their 1994 LP ‘Carnival of Light’ as “Carnival of Shite”, and being a departure from their usual jangle of noise and shoegaze, many fans regard it a lesser work. The Pop Corporation disagrees, and disagrees hard. You see, back in ’94, Britpop was kicking in and a number of groups

Perhaps it’s testament to Outkast that any new genre-blurring rap group that emerges immediately makes us think of them. The latest group who are surely getting tickled with that brush are young hot-shots, Paris Texas. That’s nothing to do with the film of the same name, so calm down country boys. It appears that Paris

You’ll know Phil Hartman whether you know it or not. He was the voice of Simpsons character Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz, Duff Man and more. He was a pivotal member of the SNL cast, and featured in a number of movies and all that good stuff. Normally, any piece about Hartman soon moves into the

If you’re not following Mystery Discs on YouTube, you’re denying yourself one of the most brilliant and unusual record collections on the planet. With the tagline ‘obscure records are fun’, you’ll find high school bands and amateur outfits performing shaky, gorgeous heartfelt music, Steely Dan covers, big jazz, wonkiness and loads of magic treasure that

DAFT PUNK UNMASKED AND THAT
You’ve seen Daft Punk without their masks on right? You’re either old enough and saw them live before they got famous enough to afford their fancy robot personas, or you’ve used the internet before and have a curious mind. If not, and it never occurred to you to have a search – good for you…

WHO?: DJ SABRINA THE TEENAGE DJ
If you’ve been pining over some cutnpaste goodtime house adjacent music, where are you going to go apart from maybe your old Avalanches LP, Ross From Friends, and maybe some lo-fi mixes on YouTube? Well, turns out theres a mysterious new artist on the block with a wilfully silly name that we can’t get mad…

WATCH NEIL YOUNG STEAL BOOTLEGS FROM A RECORD SHOP IN ’72
You’re one of the most famous singer songwriters on the planet, and you bustle into a record store late night, and you’re Neil Young holding bootleg copies of stuff you’re on. Hoo boy. The video below is exactly that, and the guy behind the counter is a genuinely great supporting character, seemingly not fussed that…

YUNGBLUD: NOSE LIKE A TWO PIN PLUG (AND SEX SAVES THE WORLD)
Yungblud thinks sex will “save the world”, while also very much having a nose like a two-pin plug. The singer, who you look at and just want to poke a travel adapter in before you trying charging your phone up, insists that the “expression and freedom” of making sweet, sweet shags, is a sure fire…
