WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The charts are a mess, what with billionaire artists scamming everyone with multiple variants and algrothim tricks landing top slots. There’s very little joy to be found about chart certificates these days, but one small victory is that the Pack Smart Group has managed to convince the powers that be that sales made through Bandcamp…

There’s no two ways about it – in terms of inventive, kaleidoscopic music, there’s few groups that get close to The Junipers. From 2008’s ‘Cut Your Key’, they burst onto the scene marrying the sounds of the deep-cut psychedelic 45s from your collection, to the joyful pop of Wings-era McCartney, Gilbert O’Sullivan and Emitt Rhodes,…

Models and music doesn’t always go, so it is really nice when it works. With that, Suki Waterhouse has signed to Island Records and released a new single which is a slow burning, sleazy, glammish thing, which we’re always in the market for. The song is called ‘Back in Love’ and of course, you can…

Well, we were halfway there. The cat is now out of the bag, and Paul McCartney has announced his 18th solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. The album is out in May, and the track listing is already on Spotify etc. And better yet, there’s a nostalgic, pleasant song to listen to as well,…

Gelli Haha‘s ‘Switcheroo’ LP was a whole bundle of fun and something we played a lot last year. She’s got a new song out, which is great news as it might mean a new album is on the way for 2026! The new single is called ‘Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep’ and happily, it’s…

Country Joe McDonald passed away last week, leaving us remembering his biggest known hot – ‘I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ To Die Rag’ – feeling horribly topical. See, while a lot of anti-war songs are serious, sombre affairs, Joe’s was deeply sarcastic and intentionally fun to singalong with. As the US indulges itself with yet…

There’s been rumours swirling of a new album from Paul McCartney, and he’s been sharing playlists and whatnot, which feature an emoji of a bird. Well, here’s some unverified rumours which we’re definitely sharing because if we’re right, we we can shout TOLD YOU SO, and if we’re wrong, ah well. The new album is…

Primitive Ring are LA based noiseniks who are, in some way related to Ty Segall for what it’s worth, and they have a new track out that reminds us of fun stuff like Bongzilla and The Melvins and psychedelic garage punk and all manner of good stuff! They’re gonna release their new self-titled album on…

6LACK’s ‘East Atlanta Love Letter’ is one of R&B’s modern masterpieces, and fans will have been playing his back catalogue to death while waiting for a new album. Good news is that there’s a new one due on May 22nd, called ‘Love Is The New Gangsta’. More importantly for you now, is the new track…

If you’re old and remember them, or are young and like looking at vintage gear, you’ll know all about those gorgeous consoles that featured in homes. Consoles, for the uninitiated, were beautiful pieces of furniture that housed a record player, speakers, an amp, and sometimes other things like radios and storage. They were the entertainment…

LP GIOBBI NEW ONE IS REALLY COOL
Fans of mildly psychedelic pop music should tune-in now, because LP Giobbi has a new track out that’s great and you’ll like it. It comes from a new album called ‘Light Places’ and will be out in May. As none of us are very good at waiting for things, you can hear the new track…

REBECCA BLACK: FORGET THE MEMES – THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING
12 years ago on this very day, Rebecca Black released ‘Friday’ and became a meme. She implored us that we needed to get down on Friday, and over a decade later with the release of her first LP ‘Let Her Burn’, on a literal Friday, it’s very easy to get down, because in a week…

CORONATION TICKET BALLOT FOR THE SCABS AMONGST YOU
This summer, King Charles III will be getting fitted with a new hat and of course, us loyal servants will be allowed to stop averting our eyes for the day to look directly at a man who is still called Prince Charles really. Of course, like all public holiday things, the 24 hour news channels…

WELL THAT’S ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT MAMA
Matthew McConaughey is going to provide the voice for Elvis Presley in a new animated TV series, which explains the terrible joke we made in the headline. Don’t worry – there’ll be more terrible takes to come. Producers at Netflix announced that the Oscar-winning actor will voice to the lead character in the upcoming action-comedy…
