WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Tim Heidecker is something of a renaissance man, although he’d probably rinse you for saying something like that about him. Broadly, he’s known for being a stand-up and comedian, but he’s also prone to making music which while witty, is more sincere so don’t expect him to be doing bits. His ‘Work From Home’ is
-
Sometimes, a song title is so good that you need to just write it as the literal headline and then share the song.
-
Phones eh? They’re responsible for that fun gig you watched on YouTube for a band that never played in the country you live in. They’re responsible for that video where someone lost their shit on stage and made the news, and now we all got to see it rather than relying on someone’s word for
-
We’ve featured Dora Morelenbaum on these pages before so we’re excited to share that she has her debut LP coming out soon! With a mix of bossa, samba and psych, Dora’s music has showcased her to be one of the most exciting new Brazilian artists in the scene. The new album is called ‘Pique’ and
-
Outside of Japan and Korea, everything is a little bit Solo Artist, so it’s lovely to see the flame of girl groups still being carried by FLO who have been doing good bits for a while now with their brand of R&B infused pop music. They recently shared their new track ‘Check’ which they have
-
We appreciate that some people like it when rock and rap mix. There’s no accounting for taste and all that, but the nadir of the late ’90s and early ’00s when Woodstock went from a peace and love festival and turned into an awful frat house party filled with rap-rock groups shows just how dismal
-
Britney Spears has, shall we say, had a very full life. It hasn’t all been peaches and cream, which means news that her life will be getting the biopic treatment is tentatively good news. We say it tentatively because not all biopics are good, but we are 100% rooting for this one because we think
-
It all felt somewhat inevitable that young people would look at the streaming model and wonder why they didn’t have anything to show for their money. Obviously, the convenience of having most of the world’s music in your pocket is a miracle of a thing, but when you look around your room or your house
-
Look, the rap musical Hamilton was awful. You don’t need to point out how successful it has been, how Lin Manuel Miranda is probably a nice guy, or even how much you liked it – it stunk. One dimensional rapping over old-head beats performed by a cast portraying a bunch of racist white dudes who

We were reading about tg.blk over at another site and liked what we heard. Instead of hoarding this information to ourselves, we thought we would share it here, because that’s what good people do. Seriously – stop hoarding music to yourself – nobody wins when you do that. tg.blk have a new six track EP
STOP HOARDING TUNES

SNAIL MAIL / DID YOU MISS ‘eM?
Lindsey Jordan – you’ll know her better as Snail Mail – has announced a new album which is called ‘Ricochet’, and again, there’s noisy ’90s-ish guitars and sweet melodies, and some mean eyed views. It’s cool stuff! At the foot of this article, you can hear a new song from the imminent LP, if you’re…

REVIEW / ASAP ROCKY / DON’T BE DUMB
We don’t necessarily look forward to an album from ASAP Rocky, per se, even if he is capable of occasional cool things. As part of the ASAP Mob, we always looked forward to Ferg’s macho bullshit, but whether you like it or not, Rocky was the star. ‘Goldie’ and ‘F***ing Problems’ were club hits, and…

ADULT/CHILD RELEASE AND BEACH BOYS COOLNESS
Beach Boys ‘Love You’ has seen a huge reappraisal in recent years, and rumours of a box set or deluxe treatment were rife in recent months. Who knew then, that what would be appearing was the first official release of lost Brian piece ‘Adult/Child’ too? Massive news! The set is called ‘We Gotta Groove’ and…

MUSK VS MUSIC BIZ
Elon Musk’s Twitter (no-one is calling it X unless they really have to, behave yourself) is going toe-to-toe with the music industry, which is an unfortunate sequence of events where you almost want no-one to win, but at least the music industry isn’t openly fash. Twitter has filed an antitrust lawsuit against a number of…
