WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • RAULT

    Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

They’ve gone beyond farce. Look at the recent spat between Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump and his MAGA supporters. Springsteen hit out…

  • ZOH AMBA’S SPIRITUAL JAZZ

    Jazz never died, but it did feel harder to find since major music publications effectively turned their back on it some time in the ’70s.
