WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
My Bloody Valentine fans can be a feverish lot, so good news dorks, Kevin Shields has released some new music right under your noses and no-one noticed until now! The noisenik has released a limited edition fuzz pedal, and inside it, secreted away, is some new music! Earlier this week, Shields shared the deets on…

Glastonbury has form for big bands playing secret sets. We don’t know why. Tradition probably. A bit of fun, for the kiddies. Anyway, there’s a large rumour doing the rounds that Pulp will be performing. So what’s the basis behind this muttering? Well, there’s a band called The ChurnUps on the Pyramid Stage who are…

The fall-out from Little Mix has been a tense affair, so we’re thrilled to not be writing about that so we can focus on something much better – songs that slap. Leigh-Anne is starting a new chapter in her career and she’s hot out of the gates with ‘Don’t Say Love’ – a love letter…

We’re only halfway through the year, but it’s been noted that hip hop hasn’t had a number one in this calendar year (at least Stateside). This time last year, Gunna, Pusha, Tyler, Future and Kendrick had all landed at the summit, but this year feels leaner. It goes without saying that there’s time yet, and…

Twitter is facing a massive lawsuit filed by a coalition of 17 music industry entities, and two things – it’s not necessarily in our nature to take the side of Big Music Business, and this may well be rotten news in terms of musicians’ ownership and copyright – we really aren’t sure. However, this is…

There’s a new tune from OSEES called ‘GOON’ and honestly, it’s like someone dropping an anvil on your head from the top of some flats. We mean that in a good way of course. And you might be like ‘wasn’t their a band called The Oh Sees as well?’ It’s the same crowd. See, the…

Bonnie Raitt is, without doubt, one of the realest to ever do it. With success coming relatively late into her career, what we’ve ended up with is an artist that obviously knows her worth, but is also still grateful and ultimately incredibly humble. In Manchester, Bonnie took to the stage with her incredibly capable band…

One of the greatest summer songs ever recorded is ‘Music Sounds Better With You’ by Stardust, which you’ll no doubt know was by French house legends Thomas Bangalter (of Daft Punk fame), Alan Braxe and vocalist Benjamin Diamond. Released in 1998, it’s still as infectious as ever and it’s not quite summer ’til you had…

We didn’t quite know how to word the headline but wanted to let you fans of Jim Noir and Soundcarriers know about a new LP that needs to be on your radar. The new album is from Co-Pilot who are comprised of Alan Roberts (Jim Noir) and Leonore Wheatley (The Soundcarriers, International Teachers of Pop) – both…

The marvellous Be With Records have a number of test pressings for sale, which will be a cool and fun thing to add to your record collection. They haven’t put a single dud out to date, so you know the music will be great too! They’re limited in number, so don’t mess around pondering it…

MERRY XMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, HAVE TIME OFF WORK
The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x

FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FEEL SORRY FOR DAVID GUETTA
DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a…

THE OPPOSITE OF NEWS ABOUT FOALS
It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,…
