WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Like noodly synth stuff from Germany? Course you do! Well, if you’re not already all over ‘Zuckerzeit’ by Cluster, you’re in luck! That means sugar time, by the way. It was the third LP from the cosmic German outfit, originally released in ’74, and an off-shoot of the also wonderful Harmonia group. And Neu! Basically,…

Harry Styles dresses glamorously, so regardless of the music he’s making and thanks to a couple of sequins and whatnot, we are by law, required to liken him to some people from the ’70s. Seeing as most people identify the ’70s with David Bowie, then Harry Styles must be like him, eh? Now, we actually…

Sheena Easton has had a funny ol’ career hasn’t she? From ‘Morning Train (Nine To Five)’ to being in a band with Prince, it’s quite the leap, eh? Well, concerning her own work, the lovely people over at Cherry Red are reissuing her debut LP ‘Take My Time’ from 1981. Now, we haven’t looked at…

Formerly Girl Band, now Gilla Band, they’ve got a new single out called ‘Sports Day’ and honestly, you can probably just scroll to the bottom of this article and listen to the track and skip all the fluff. However, the fluff is slightly necessary for us as we have to provide something that looks like…

Hey Macca fans! There’s going to be a feature documentary that looks at Paul McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles. That’s the cool solo bits, Wings, and his life with Linda McCartney, and obviously, an insane amount of incredible music. We’re promised a lot of never-seen-before archive of Paul and Linda’s home videos…

Pop Corps are gigantic Steely Dan fans. Let’s just get that out of the way. Now, Steve Albini says he hates Steely Dan. Time to get the claws out and start bringing up the fact that Steve Albini was in a band called Rapeman and all that, right? Time to outline exactly why Steely Dan…

One of our favourite, favourite music project is back with more music. If you haven’t heard Looking Suite, then you’re missing out on some really wonderful ambient, post-noodle, psychedelic improv, nu-age, dream-chug music. It’s hard to pin down what it is exactly, but you’ll feel like you’re hovering while it’s on, and it’s magic. The…

Pink Floyd – they’ve always got on so well with each other haven’t they? We joke of course, but any hope for a reunion have been well and truly booted to death this week. Polly Samson, author and wife of Dave Gilmour, have been tweeting. We’ll link to her tweet. Then to Gilmour’s quote tweet.…

If you’re very knowledgable about music and go on about it, there’s no telling you anything. For the rest of everyone, there’s a new app that you might like! You might not! We’re not your real dad. Anyway, an app. So, there’s a new app out that’s called Rewind and what it intends to do…

There’s a lot of musicians and bands that haven’t been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and when you read the latest list of nominations, you’ll be like “THEY’RE NOT ALREADY IN THERE?!?!” This year, up for the award… and unbelievably not already in there, are Kate Bush, George Michael, Missy Elliott…

MODERN NATURE’S UNSEEN FORCES
It must be horrible when people ask you what your songs mean, and so to Jack Cooper’s Modern Nature who have a new song out called ‘Alpenglow’. Apparently, according to Cooper, the track is named after “an optical phenomenon and the name given to the colours around a setting sun. It ties in with the…

REVIEW / MGK / LOST AMERICANA
What is MGK, or Machine Gun Kelly, if you prefer. To most, he’s that tattooed guy in the gossip columns who says things like he’s ‘part alien’, and seemed to be in a relationship with Megan Fox that screamed ‘we saw you across the room, liked your vibe, and would you like to come back…

LENNON POLITICAL BOXSET
When people acting in bad faith start complaining about pop going woke, it’s funny to think about how political pop used to be and just how much politicians hated people who spoke out about them. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a literal FBI file on them and Elvis snitched to Nixon about the pair,…
