WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Look, we’re not sure if this is folk-rock, popsike, or what – but we do know that Tyler Ballgame’s new single – ‘Got A New Car’ – is very, very pleasant to listen to and we think that you’ll like it when it goes into your ears too. Tyler has just signed to Rough Trade…

There’s clearly a scam afoot which needs addressing – streaming platforms are making money from A.I. music with inflated streaming numbers from bots. If the audience is removed, and platforms benefit from programs generating income for themselves, then that’s a con, right? We wrote about the AI group who had amassed millions of listens, but…

What can you write about Ozzy Osborne? A man who lived enough life for all of us put together. A pioneer. A funny swine. A heroic effort to hedonism. An unlikely reality TV star. The man who, with Black Sabbath, pretty much invented heavy metal. A great fella. While tributes pour in from every corner,…

Our new radio show has been uploaded and features music from Argentina, Malawi, Madagascar, the former Yugoslavia, Japan, and more places besides! There’s funky stuff, power pop, new releases including the new one from Tchotchke and a gem from Domenique Dumont! We’d include the tracklisting, but we encourage you to listen to the show and…

The new Cate Le Bon track is out and it’s called ‘Is It Worth It (Happy Birthday)?’ and it’s a moody, psychedelic synth track and, predictably, it’s very good. The accompanying video is left-of-centre, and we spent a good chunk of it worrying about a fun little dog who gets tied to a bollard. We’re…

Tyler dropped a new album (or is it a mixtape? That line is blurred these days). Whatever it is, it is a load of fun and almost made us think that he’s the natural heir to The Neptunes. He’s something of an auteur, and rap always needs those. One thing we learned is that we…

The amount of praise we throw at Tchotchke must make some people wonder if we’re on the payroll or something, but rest assured, we’re just big fans. And luckily for us and everyone else, there’s yet more music out in the shape of the new song ‘Now I Love You’. This one is a drumless,…

One of our favourite illustrators on the planet right now is the supremely talented and unique Carly Jean Andrews. Based out on the West Coast of the United States, she’s been winning hearts with her bold, brilliant art for a while now. Her work touches on a host of things, including complex, ’70s inspired typeface…

Questioning the net value of new technologies is always a worthwhile endeavour, and of course, artificial intelligence is the latest hot topic on everyone’s lips because, on the surface, it’s a technological miracle – but it comes with concerns. The scraping of other people’s words, art, music and the rest, is definitely stealing rebadged as…

Pastoral psych group Whitney have announced a new album, called ‘Small Talk’ and the good news is that there’s a new song to listen to which sounds comfortingly like a Whitney song should sound. The new album will be available on November 7th, and you know exactly where to go if you want to find…

ARE PARAMORE FINALLY GOING TO GET WHAT THEY DESERVE?
Paramore have not had an easy ride. When they first appeared on the scene proper, they found themselves working just about as hard as a band can work in the middle of a number of Vans Warped tour where, unsurprisingly for an event made up of frat boys pretending to be skaters and a load…

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…
