WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Kanye West is game for dunking on at every opportunity, which in part is richly deserved, but also really depressing. The man needs to be accountable for the things he says and does, but jesus, it’s rotten watching someone be so very ill in public. With that, along comes cringebag no.1, Drake. He shared a…
-
The latest FREE RANGE show is up and this one is a little chaotic with loads of killer music on it from all over the world. This one has a guest presenter on it which is real fun. You can listen to it below and the tracklist is a little bit below that. FREE RANGE…

Cosmic country pop? Like Gram Parsons but with a will to actually sell some records? Big claim that, but fuck it, let’s go with it. We’re talking about Jenny Lewis, who is a bit of a legend in certain circles, and who has a most excellent wardrobe (stop pretending that this isn’t a thing that…

It’s funny that ageing rockers bemoan the thin-skins of the yoof, while acting like petulant babies all the time, throwing their toys out of the pram and indulging in very ugly, public, hilarious spats. Just look at Pink Floyd. A very dignified set of old men there. With that, we turn our attentions to KISS.…

Keanu Reeves is everyone’s non-problematic fave and generally seems like a good dude. Great face too, if we’re still objectifying people in 2023. You can imagine he’s got a half decent and very sizeable record collection, right? His house is probably dead nice. And we’re only mentioning Wyld Stallyns now to say that we won’t…

We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…

03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be…

BONNIE PRINCE BILLY RECORD SHOPPING
Amoeba Records’ run of What’s In My Bag? videos are the stuff of legend for anyone who likes musicians talking about the albums and books they like. With that, while you’re idling in bed or whatever this weekend, watch the always magnetic Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy talking about some super interesting bits. Here you go.

LANA’S COUNTRY IS HERE?
When Lana Del Rey dropped a big country music sized hint, everyone who cared wondered how the whole thing would shape up. We daydreamed about which country lane she’d take, hoping she’d go for a luxurious, melancholic, orchestral version of bruised balladry. While Lana has a number of strings to her bow, it does feel…

MAMALARKY FUN NEW SONG
We don’t know anything about Mamalarky, but we heard they had some new music out, and the song ‘Won’t Give Up’ is real fun, so we’re sharing it with you. There’ll be a new album called ‘Hex Key’, and that’s out this week, so press play on this if you want a taster before listening…

PULP, THEY’RE BACK
Tell your mums and dads that Pulp are back. They’ll be ready to put down their unsettling infatuation with Gazelles and David Byrne to one side, while they commit to their love of Jarvis Cocker, vintage shops, and plastic macs again! Of course, the appearance of Pulp is never a bad thing, and rather than…
