WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Whether you think of her music as experimental electronica, or future R&B, we can all agree that Kelela is fantastic. And she’s back with a new single called ‘Contact’. She’ll be releasing a new LP called ‘RAVEN’ which is bound to be fantastic on Feb 10th. New album ‘RAVEN’ is out on February 10th. And…

Hey. Think your record collection is proof of you frittering your money away when you could have put a deposit down on a house? Well, watch this video. Your record collection is absolutely small fry compared to this guy from Hong Kong. A short video, so just watch it.

Pink Floyd are going to be doing a whole load of things for the anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon. It’ll be 50 and there’s going to be deluxe boxsets and all that stuff, which honestly, you can go and find out about yourself because we’re only mentioning this because the anniversary happens to…

Bona fide legend and founding member of two of America’s greatest ever groups, David Crosby, has passed away aged a remarkable 81. Founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Croz has left a musical footprint that’ll take some filling. His wife released a statement to Variety: “It is with great sadness after a…

Reissues are great aren’t they? Sometimes original pressings are hard to get hold of. Sometimes they’re prohibitively expensive. Sometimes the original pressing sounds like dogshit. Sometimes the vinyl is flimsy. Sometimes you’ve worn your copy out and would like a fresh one for the turntable. So with that, Rhino are reissuing ‘Burgers’, the 1972 LP…

Do you remember Boygenius? Basically, it was a supergroup of Phoebe Bridgers (now very famous), Lucy Dacus (quite famous) and Julien Baker (also quite famous) and they released an EP, before all three kinda exploded. Well, they’re getting the band back together and there’s new music and some live shows as well. Awkwardly, the album…

Suzi Quatro is going to play the hits as part of a run of shows celebrating the 50th anniversary of her first number one and gigantic banger, ‘Can The Can’. The Detroit legend said: “I am now in my 59th year in this business! Last year I played the Royal Albert Hall and was high…

Yaeji is great. In a way, that’s about a much as you need to know, but we’ll humour you and write a little more. Mixing bonkers day-glo electronics, house and hip-hop with cutesy, intimate vocals, Yaeji is prolific and fun! The ‘What We Drew’ mixtape released in 2020 was a firm favourite here, and now,…

It isn’t easy remembering long band names. Sometimes your brain switches off while you’re saying them out loud, and words just start to fall out. So with that, we look at Noel Gallagher’s band – the High Flying Birds. Are they even called that? We’d check but we’re lazy. Pretty sure they’re called that. They’ve…

Ye, the artist formerly known as but ostensibly still known as Kanye West, has gone missing. Why? Well, everything. His fall from grace has been well documented, making for a disappointing time for fans of his music and a boring SEE I TOLD YOU from people who are a bit racist when a rapper acts…

NEW BEATLE ANTHOLOGY COMFIRMED
Well, we predicted it, along with all the other Beatles fans who had been keeping their eye on things. There’s going to be a remastered Anthology documentary on Disney+, cleaned up records, and also, a reissue of the weighty and brilliant Anthology book. Pre-orders are go, so if you’re looking for CDs or LP boxsets,…

10 SONGS WITH RAISSA PARDINI
One of the most exciting designers on the planet, Raissa Pardini has been rubbing shoulders with giants like the Rolling Stones, MTV, NY Times, Willie Nelson, Nike, Paul Weller, Brian Eno, as well as having her work acquired by the V&A. There’s also been a raft of gig posters from underground groups, showing that Pardini…

WELLER, GAZA, ACCOUNTANTS
Paul Weller has always been a political man, and never afraid of talking about what he believes in. From The Jam, to Style Council and beyond, he’s spoken his mind. So with that, it’s remarkable that his accountants should suddenly find fault with that. It’s even more staggering that they didn’t assume he’d do something…

LEAKED BEATLES FREE AS A BIRD 2025 MIX?
Take these things with a pinch of salt, but it seems like there’s been a leak of The Beatles 2025 mix of ‘Free As A Bird’. It appeared on Instagram, promptly vanished, but not before some people grabbed it and uploaded it to YouTube. If this is the real deal, then predictably, John Lennon’s vocal…
