WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for…

Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article…
-
There’s few things as satisfying as Pusha T saying ‘YERGHK!’ in a track. He’s a venomous MC alright and sharp as a tack. He’s also quite the businessman, coming up with the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ for McDonald’s and also, heading up the G.O.O.D. Music label. Of course, that’d be Kanye West’s record label there. Now,…

It is an unlikely pairing, but Timmy Mallett (yep, that very same one) has unveiled a never-heard-before mix (at least in digital form) of Terry Hall presenting a radio show of songs that mean a great deal to him. Mallett was a DJ on Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio and had a show where he allowed pop…

Have you been looking for a Christmas playlist? Doesn’t matter if you like Jesus are not, because it’s basically a secular holiday anyway, what with the amount of booze and gear being done at this most wonderful time of the year. What’s Baileys and beak got to do with a baby being born in the…

Olivia Rodrigo seems to be doing it right. She was catapulted to fame with a giganto hit and, instead of thinking ‘sod it, let’s make a cash grab and do all the arenas immediately!’, she’s made a conscious decision to play smaller venues, and if the arenas come, then she feels she will have earned…

The great thing about running your own blog and not being at all answerable to advertisers and the like, is that you can throw any old cobblers up and it counts as content. Not that this counts as any old cobblers. Someone else, however, has done the work for us. You see, we were going…

Have you ever heard of a more perfect pitch for a television show? It’s Mary J. Blige talking to other people, while making their way through a load of wine. Honestly, this should have been on TV for 20something years already. And what is it called? ‘The Wine Down’, that’s what it is called, and…

There’s going to be a lot of words written about the death of Terry Hall, and many of them better researched and with closer ties to the man than this one. He was iconic, drily funny, frustrated, well-dressed and a host of other things that everyone knows. You don’t need telling these things now that…

NEW 03 GREEDO
He’s good is 03 Greedo. A fine rapper indeed. And he’s surprised everyone by dropping a new tape (not a literal tape of course, but that’d be nice if he did). The new release is called ‘FREE 03’ and has 15 songs for you to listen to. It has guesties from the late Drakeo the…

A BEATLE, A BEAVER, A KRAUSE: EXPERIMENTS IN ELECTRONIC MUSIC
‘Electronic Sound’ isn’t exactly at the front of people’s brains when it comes to Beatle Solo LPs. However, it is one of the more interesting cuts, from a vault that is possibly the most interesting and varied of off-shoot projects of any rock group. This is George Harrison of ‘My Sweet Lord’ lawsuit fame, and…

JUDGE READS YOUNG THUG
Obviously, the story surrounding Young Thug’s RICO charges in the US is incredibly serious and very complex. If you’re looking for a serious, considered piece about this whole affair, then you should look somewhere else because, frankly, if we even hint at a sober thought, we’re too emotional and too bias and will fly off…
