Great news if you want to sit with a load of other people and watch the Eurovision Song Contest at high volume – it’s going to be broadcast in British cinemas for the first time ever. Of course, everyone was trying to get tickets for the show in Liverpool and the whole thing sold out…

If you’ve made the killer Bollywood playlist to end them all on Spotify, you may have noticed that it’s not what it once was, and that’s because there’s hundreds of Bollywood music tracks missing on the platform, which is incredibly annoying. This has happened for boring business reasons, rather than anything actively nefarious. Spotify say…

Little Richard has long been adored, but he never truly got his flowers like many of his contemporaries did. That’s about to change. And about fucking time. Director Lisa Cortés’ has made a documentary about the greatest rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time called ‘Little Richard: I Am Everything’, which not only looks at…

Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.…

REVIEW / JUSTIN BIEBER / SWAG
The release of Justin Bieber’s ‘SWAG’ album was, for most, a surprise. Not least because of the absence of promotional materials released in the build-up to it, but in part, it was remarkable that he’d even been working on anything. For those not terminally swirling around Bieber’s plughole for every morsel of information, he’d only…

AI / DOES ANYONE CARE AS LONG AS IT SOUNDS OKAY?
People who write about music, overthink music, read books and websites about music, devour music documentaries and go on Wikipedia deep-dives, are not your average music listener. Don’t read that as ‘better’, rather, atypical. Think about it – there’s people out there who saw the Oasis reunion, but were completely unaware that Liam Gallagher just…
