WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you want to listen to a load of Eurovision songs from all decades, then have we got a playlist for you! Now, this skews a little more modern than maybe most, but don’t worry, ‘Ding-a-Dong’ and ABBA are in there. Eurovision of course, has been so historically uncool that it turns out having innocent,…

Songs your dad loved are back in vogue thanks to a load of younger, possibly traumatised kids looking toward a simpler time of the ’70s or, at least, road trip radio stations, which sees younger artists wading into the comfort and flared jeans. With that, we tripped over a new song by Petal called ‘You…

Where would we be without subversive, playful pop-art? The LPs and gig posters of the world would be drab without those with a flair for visual art. And one of the best to do it, Frank Kozik, has sadly left us. So it’s only right to celebrate his work in the hope that someone else…
-
You know when you walk into a record shop and they’re playing something a bit offbeat and wonky, and you don’t ask what it is, and it bugs you for a week as it’s got under your skin and you wish you can hammer it on repeat? Well, welcome to Decisive Pink’s new song, ‘Dopamine’,…

It’s absolutely true to say that Rita Lee is one of the most influential voices in Brazilian music history, as well as being a pioneer and revolutionary in South American rock & roll. Worldwide, shes one of the faces of psychedelic music, and after an illness, she is sadly no longer with us. Rita died…

It’s almost Eurovision time and, unless you’re the most boring snob on Earth, it’s a celebration of pop, togetherness, campness and crucially, crushing disappointment and outrage. We enjoy the party atmosphere, and as this year’s is being held in Liverpool, you know it’s going to be a banger. We also enjoy yelling at the TV…

We don’t know much about Wombo other than they’re from Louisville and their new song ‘Slab’ is a wiry, wonky and fantastic slice of garage rock. Do we need to write more words so you get your money’s worth? Frankly, no. Just press play already. This is some fun shit.
-
Did you know Mac DeMarco has a new LP out? And did you know it has 199 songs on it? What’s he like eh, the daft sausage. He’s a charming bugger, so instead of being wordy and worthy, we figured we’d let him do the hard work and we’d just share a video where he…

Remember we wrote about the price of tickets and the wrath of pop fans? Well, seeing as “ticketmaster” has been trending on Twitter for around 4 months solidly this year, it’s obviously not a topic that is likely to cool any time soon. And we’re chucking some more kindling on the fire, because it’s worth…

Siouxsie Sioux does seem cooler than all the other UK punk survivors put together, doesn’t she? Then again, the goths have put a claim in for her as theirs too, but whatever. After a hiatus away from the stage, she’s back and we’re stealing someone’s footage to show you, in case you want to see…

TCHOTCHKE DON’T MISS
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,…

AI + ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM
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…
