WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Do you like the Allah-Las? Great news for you is that they’ve announced a new album called ‘Zuma 85’ and there’s a tour afoot and two new songs for you to listen to. The first new song we’ll share is called ‘The Stuff’ which will be a familiar sound to fans, with twangy psych guitars…

The big news is that we’re going to have some new music from The Beatles this year. Will it be great and better than anything they’ve done before? Probably not, but this is still exciting stuff for Fab Four Dorks around the world. We’re excited. Paul McCartney says he’s used artificial intelligence to help create…
-
We were going to write a piece about the music in the brilliant and often bizarre world of I Think You Should Leave. If you’ve not seen it, then half the memes on the internet probably don’t make a lick of sense to you. Go and watch it. Anyway, we said we were going to…

Hype can be a terrible thing, leaving us plebs feeling like a moment has shot it’s load before you’ve even got a chance to digest the damned thing. In a period where everything has felt frantic, fraught, and fucking shite, we could all do with a dose of something camp and ridiculous to cheer us…

British Blues legend, prog overlord and axe-master, Tony McPhee from The Groundhogs, has sadly passed away. In a FB post on the group’s page, it said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that 79-year-old guitar and blues legend Tony (TS) McPhee, died peacefully at home today 6th June, from complications following a fall last year.”…

Not a thing we thought we’d be writing in a headline, but here we are. Fact is, the pair have been spotted out together a bunch, and obviously, men and women couldn’t possibly be platonic friends without bumping uglies in the mind of everyone, so what’s the craic? After posting some photos on Instagram featuring…

We’re still on holiday, but this tee was too good to not share. If you know Turbo Island, you’ll know that’s the place to get the best music t-shirts when it comes to wit, super fun graphic design, and letting your music nerd flag fly. Silly tees about Italo Disco, Todd Rundgren, Arthur Russell and…

Pip Blom are cool. We liked that album they did. It might have been the last one. They may have done one since then, we don’t know. It doesn’t matter too much because when you hear someone say that a band is cool, you should go and check them out. Stop pretending you’re too busy…

Tove Lo, when she’s on form, is a tour de force. There’s not many better euphoric pop songs than ‘Disco Tits’ and, honestly, there’s not many better euphoric pop song titles better than ‘Disco Tits’ either. She’s had a number of belters (and some we’re less keen on, but we won’t police your thoughts by…

LAMBCHOP NEW SONG FOR REFUGEES
There’s a new compilation out to benefit those in need with Western Vinyl called ‘Passages: Artists in Solidarity with Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers‘. It’s out Friday and one of the lead artists on it is the always brilliant Lambchop with a song called ‘Afterburner’. Other artists include Tim Heidecker, Bonnie Prince Billy, Dirty Projectors,…

DNB VIBE WITH FAUZIA
The UK underground has been bubbling with drum ‘n’ bass and it’s offshoots for a while now, and some of it is really cool, with a fresh twist on things, like the new single from FAUZIA, called ‘My Way’. You may recognise the name from the long stint with NTS radio, with her long running…
-
MAVI’S INDIE RAP
Is it called Indie Rap? Y’know, that new-sounding-but-not-trap hip hop that bridges the gap between Golden Era stuff, modern stuff, and Neo Soul? Either way, we’re kinda hearing that in the new one from Mavi. Taken from the new mixtape ‘The Pilot’ (which is out right now), ‘Triple Nickel’ is a standout, which you should hit…

ELECTRONIC MIX WITH JIMPSTER
There’s a lot of copycat channels that try and do it like My Analog Journal, and none of them curate interesting music nearly as well. So of course, we share another ace mix they’ve uploaded, this time focusing on UK electro, electronica and whatnot, from the 90s. The DJ goes by the name of Jimpster…
