WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

In need of something to watch while you wait for the kettle to boil? We’ve got just the thing for you.

Someone got their mitts on Donald Fagen’s – of Steely Dan (you knew that already) – Fender Rhodes from 1973, and restored it. They then played it like a dream and shared it with us all on YouTube, and it’s basically one of the most wholesome videos you’ll see online, today. You don’t need any

One of the greatest DJs who ever lived has sadly left us after a battle with some terrible illness. nfluential Chicago producer and musician DJ Funk has died, aged 54. One of Chicago’s own, Charles Chambers was an innovator who was one of the main shakers in bringing ghetto house to the world and destroyed

Eurovision is drawing ever closer and for those of us based in the UK, we’re looking at the song that’ll represent these fair isles. We have a varied history in the competition, but honestly, for the most part it has been a fair assessment that the UK didn’t win. Not to say that all placings

Roy Ayers has sadly departed, as confirmed via an announcement from his team. He’d been suffering a long illness. “It is with great sadness that the family of legendary vibraphonist, composter and producer Roy Ayers announce his passing which occurred on March 4th, 2025 in New York City after a long illness.” “He lived a

However, there’s a number of wars on and the tech bros dominance has seen a small shift in thinking which may blossom into something broader. On both ends of the political spectrum, it is obvious that

We missed Lyra Pramuk’s music released in previous years, but that doesn’t lessen the fun of listening to this new song called ‘Vega’, which is pop music, but off-kilter and a bit weird and gonzo, which we like. This release will be on her new label – pop.soil – and on the press release, it

We admittedly don’t know much about Pynch, but that’s okay, because we’re going to get to know them more after hearing the new single from them called ‘The Supermarket’. It has jangly guitars and they seem like they might be too cool to smile in photos, which is always fun. Press play, now, if you
-
Little Simz has announced a new album called ‘Lotus’ and, of course, if you’re not interested in reading any words about this, you can just scroll down and listen to a track instead. It’s fine by us. We’re not precious or getting paid for any of this. The new song is called ‘Flood’ and it is

The Ting Tings released a country song a bit ago, and it really surprised everyone. It is nice when a band reconfigures and decides to do as they please. Of course, they originally made danceable indie sleaze with ‘Shut Up And Let Me Go’ and ‘That’s Not My Name’. Not these days. And there’s a

What’s the deal here? A music blog, being launched in a time when blogging is absolutely dead, especially trying to cover music? What’s the point in that? Well, call it a labour of love.
