WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Pretty exciting news for fans of Cosmic American music and Gram Parsons – there’s some new music on the horizon! It’s not often you get to say something like that – good news indeed! So what’s the craic? Well, if you’re not in the mood for reading, you can just press play on the video…

There’s a brilliant Instagram account by Steve Birnbaum which sees him tracking down the locations of music photos from the past – Nirvana, Madonna, Basquiat, Biggie, Grateful Dead, June & Johnny, Prince, Amy… so many iconic photos that we’ve seen before – but what of the location right now? If you prefer, you can ignore…

Sometimes, someone says something and your brain starts racing. It doesn’t matter if they’re talking a load of cobblers or not, you’ve already internally fired off down seventeen different tangents, and circled around the drain six more times, hoping that someone more diligent will make a documentary about it, or a long-form reader, because this…

Anatolian funk, Turkish psych, whatever you want to call it, has been a super hip and rich seam for record nerds and beat diggers for a little while now, so it was only a matter of time before someone actually Turkish wrestled their music back from the hobbyists and made it for themselves again in…

It’s remarkable, that for a band as well documented as The Beatles, that there’s any surprises left. Yet, there we were with our jaws on the floor watching Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’, while Paul McCartney chipped away at a notion until it became the centrepiece of the whole film. Never mind the rooftop gig (great…

The wonderful thing about ageing is the acknowledgment of the relentless passing of time. Your knees start hurting. Your sleep is disturbed because you need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. You can end up in a full body brace because your sock was folded slightly oddly in your shoe,…

Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

CHRIS MOYLES RANT SHOWS HE DOESN’T LIKE MUSIC, BUT YOU KNEW THAT
Some people want to be DJs because they want to share all the music they love with other people. Some people want to become a celebrity. Then, there’s Chris Moyles and we’re not sure what he wants. Does he remind you of one of those lads who turns up half-way through a gig with 7…

JANELLE MONAE IS BACK WITH A NEW ONE
Janelle Monae is back with some new music after ‘Dirty Computer’ took over the world. Since then, they’ve been branching out a bit, but we write about music and it’s new tunes we’re most interested in. So, the new track is called ‘Float’ and as the title suggests, it’s a pretty dreamy number – so…

MEN I TRUST ARE BACK WITH A BOP
Men I Trust have a bunch of cool songs, so it’s good that they’ve got a new one out. They hail from Canada and release their own stuff and are generally very cool like that. It’s heady, bedroom indie pop, and this new one may be their strongest song to date. It’s called ‘Ring Of Past’…
