WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Drake – possibly pouting somewhere because when is he not slightly pursing his lips – is showing a little remorse for something. Very unlike him that. And ting. So what’s up with him now? Well, he’s said that he regrets mentioning the names of his exes in his music. Appearing on the premiere episode of

Natural Information Society have a new tune out if you’re in the mood for getting heavy with yourself and flipping your wig. If you’re not aware of them, they’ve been described as “ecstatic minimalism”, which basically means ‘kinda jazz’. They’re from Chicago and that’s always a good sign with these things. A new LP called ‘Since

Not every day is a news day. Maybe some will happen later? Who knows? Not us. Either way, that’s no excuse for us to not post something. There’s always a blank box that needs filling with some words and a thing, right? With that, we’ve been really enjoying this Argentinian jazz LP by Jorge Lopez

Daft Punk are doing a 10th anniversary of ‘Random Access Memories’ and it’s out May 12th. That might be all the info you need. There’s a video at the bottom of this article too. For those who need a little more, it includes nine tracks and 35 minutes of unreleased music. Nice. Available on 3xLP,

How much do you like ‘Loaded’ by the Velvet Underground? Well, if the answer is ‘FUCKING HELL, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!’ and you have a bucket filled with money, you’re in for a treat! A limited edition vinyl reissue is coming out and has a load of unreleased stuff, words, photos and all that
-
So, Spotify – problematic but we all use it – have an announcement or two to make. Most of what they have to say is magnificently dull and will only interest industry writers and tech journos, but there is something in there that will prick up the ears of DJs. You’ll note there was no

You know Bratmobile right? They’re lumped in with the Riot Grrrl movement, but to us, they were more garage punk than grunge adjacent. Either way, for fans of snotty, smart tunes with fuzzy guitars, it’s good news and they’re going to be playing their first live show in a couple of decades! Great news! Now,

This is a genuinely lovely bit of news and it doesn’t matter if you’ve heard of Bring Me The Horizon or not. Trust us. Keep reading, it’ll be worth it in the end. What’s going on then? Well, there’s a children’s author called Oliver Sykes. The singer of BMTH is called Oli Sykes. People have

As Chromeo and A-Trak feature on the song, we considered putting their names in the headline for more Google ranking clout, but decided against it foolishly. Still though, Ric Wilson and Chromeo and A-Trak all on one very, very, very fun new song that will make you wish it was Friday night. It’s retro enough

The amount of money an artist receives for making music is a hot topic at the moment. Apart from a few at the top, it sincerely looks like a lot of mid-tier and smaller bands simply can’t afford to be musicians, professionally. There’s people playing large gigs who still have office jobs. Whether or not

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…

Well, turns out theres a mysterious new artist on the block with a wilfully silly name that we can’t get mad…

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…
