WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Arbitrary lists are no good, really. However, it is nice to praise musicians and the work they’ve done. They may never see the praise on a site as small as this one, but if we send good vibes out into the ether and at least some of you give them a listen, and maybe buy…

We could write a load of stuff about this, but there’s very little point when the contents of the video are so fun and wholesome that it speaks for itself. THUNDERCAT! YO GABBA GABBA! NPR TINY DESK! Press play immediately!

Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be…

Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like…

Do you like Kaytranada? Well, if you’re a European reader, the good news is that he’ll be doing a tour around Europe, which gives you the opportunity to shake your backside. Great stuff. This is part of the ‘Timeless Tour’, and this relates to the LP he released in Summer. Honestly, all these words are…

Streaming is hugely popular and, on the strength of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped graphics to social media platforms, it doesn’t look like it will be going anywhere, anytime soon. Or is it? In the immediacy, Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest, won’t be worrying too much as they continue to rake in cash, left,…

If you’re into Jazzanova, or even Todd Terje or Nu Genea, then here’s something you should get your chops around – the new single from Roi Turbo. The pair are two brothers who go by the name of Benjamin and Conor McCarthy, and they make the kind of music that crosses over out of the…

Shygirl really doesn’t miss, and has been making some killer party music for a while now. Unsurprisingly, she was invited to open for Charli XCX, to light the touch paper on Brat Summer. We like Shygirl in bouncy hip-house mode the best, so with the announcement of a new EP called ‘Club Shy Room 2’,…

A recent appearance on the new Kendrick LP, ‘GNX’, isn’t going to anyone’s appeal any harm. So with that, after a guestie, West Coast’s AZChike has released a new track while the iron is hot. It’s a clatterer and goes by the name of ‘Love Yo Weapons’, and you can hear it below. —

Nothing should surprise us when it comes to Paul McCartney’s creativity. The man has been making LPs bursting with ideas and songs that switch pace halfway through, making you wonder just how much weed he was smoking at any given time. Sometimes, it’s a playful spirit, sometimes, you can actively hear his attention span being…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

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…

NEW BC CAMPLIGHT
You may know of BC Camplight already, but if you don’t, there’s a lot to love with Brian “BC” Christinzio. Parts stadium sized rock, part Todd Rundgren, part something else entirely his own, there’s always good stuff to be found on a BC LP. Well, there’s new shit coming on an album called ‘The Last…

GOD BLESS YOU, BURT BACHARACH
There’s no question that Burt Bacharach is one of the greatest people who ever lived. His way with a song is rarely matched and, sadly, he’s passed away at the grand old age of 94. With Hal David, all by himself, and with others, Bacharach has brought us a dizzying amount of classics. ‘Walk On…

MARLENE RIBEIRO WITH NEW KILLER PSYCH
A lot of new psychedelic music falls into the same ol’ boring traps of drone music, dressed in skinny black jeans, and citing the same 4 or 5 bands as influence, when in fact, psychedelia is a much broader church than that. Which is why we’re thrilled about the newest LP from Marlene Ribeiro. On…
