WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Like noodly synth stuff from Germany? Course you do! Well, if you’re not already all over ‘Zuckerzeit’ by Cluster, you’re in luck! That means sugar time, by the way. It was the third LP from the cosmic German outfit, originally released in ’74, and an off-shoot of the also wonderful Harmonia group. And Neu! Basically,…

Harry Styles dresses glamorously, so regardless of the music he’s making and thanks to a couple of sequins and whatnot, we are by law, required to liken him to some people from the ’70s. Seeing as most people identify the ’70s with David Bowie, then Harry Styles must be like him, eh? Now, we actually…

Sheena Easton has had a funny ol’ career hasn’t she? From ‘Morning Train (Nine To Five)’ to being in a band with Prince, it’s quite the leap, eh? Well, concerning her own work, the lovely people over at Cherry Red are reissuing her debut LP ‘Take My Time’ from 1981. Now, we haven’t looked at…

Formerly Girl Band, now Gilla Band, they’ve got a new single out called ‘Sports Day’ and honestly, you can probably just scroll to the bottom of this article and listen to the track and skip all the fluff. However, the fluff is slightly necessary for us as we have to provide something that looks like…

Hey Macca fans! There’s going to be a feature documentary that looks at Paul McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles. That’s the cool solo bits, Wings, and his life with Linda McCartney, and obviously, an insane amount of incredible music. We’re promised a lot of never-seen-before archive of Paul and Linda’s home videos…

Pop Corps are gigantic Steely Dan fans. Let’s just get that out of the way. Now, Steve Albini says he hates Steely Dan. Time to get the claws out and start bringing up the fact that Steve Albini was in a band called Rapeman and all that, right? Time to outline exactly why Steely Dan…

One of our favourite, favourite music project is back with more music. If you haven’t heard Looking Suite, then you’re missing out on some really wonderful ambient, post-noodle, psychedelic improv, nu-age, dream-chug music. It’s hard to pin down what it is exactly, but you’ll feel like you’re hovering while it’s on, and it’s magic. The…

Pink Floyd – they’ve always got on so well with each other haven’t they? We joke of course, but any hope for a reunion have been well and truly booted to death this week. Polly Samson, author and wife of Dave Gilmour, have been tweeting. We’ll link to her tweet. Then to Gilmour’s quote tweet.…

If you’re very knowledgable about music and go on about it, there’s no telling you anything. For the rest of everyone, there’s a new app that you might like! You might not! We’re not your real dad. Anyway, an app. So, there’s a new app out that’s called Rewind and what it intends to do…

There’s a lot of musicians and bands that haven’t been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and when you read the latest list of nominations, you’ll be like “THEY’RE NOT ALREADY IN THERE?!?!” This year, up for the award… and unbelievably not already in there, are Kate Bush, George Michael, Missy Elliott…

XMAS PLAYLIST
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 IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A XMAS CUTE OVERDOSE
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…

KINKS ANTI XMAS
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…

MARY J BLIGE & A BOTTLE OF WINE
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…
