WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Selena Gomez has announced a return to music. Miley Cyrus has confirmed a new song. There’s new Guns N Roses music. However, the entire world is talking about the new single from Portable Radio. Portable Radio – perhaps the greatest band in the entire world right now, not that anyone’s noticed – have a new…

Stephen Steinbrink, who we hadn’t heard of until we pressed play on the below video, has a cool new song out. Let’s tell you some stuff first though, so you get the illusion of value for money, even though we’re doing this for free. There’s going to be a new album called ‘Disappearing Coin’ and…

There’s so many documentaries about musicians that focus on inevitable success or how lonely it is at the top, which is fine and all – but there’s more interesting stories than that. And so, to 1976 documentary about Bradford wannabes Punch. A Close Up North feature called Punch On The Road, it’s 30 minutes of…

![TALKING HEADS TO REUNITE [WAIT]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/talking-heads.jpg?w=1024)
Tina Weymouth’s group – Talking Heads – are going to get back together. That’s bait, obviously. They’re not planning on stepping on stage to make music together BUT it might be a sign that, in their age, things might be mellowing between the members of the group. In fact, they’re regrouping for a Q&A with…

Elvis’ comeback special in ’68 is a legendary moment in pop music. It marked a return to an artist’s roots for one, which wasn’t hugely heard of at the time and, furthermore, reminded everyone that Elvis could be insanely hot – especially when he appeared on screen in his Leather Daddy guise. Now, the TV…

Have you heard of Fievel Is Glauque because you saw them supporting Stereolab? Have you not heard of them, but are interested in a band that supported Stereolab all the same? Well, here’s a new pair of songs from the group called ‘I’m Scanning Things I Can’t See’/’Dark Dancing’ and it’s super good and we…

Hans Zimmer has been made a co-owner of BBC Maida Vale Studios and, we can’t lie, we’re only writing about it because we want to say something else which is related. The BBC sold the historic venue which has been in operation since the ’30s, which has hosted The Beatles, Bowie, Dusty and you know…

Clarence Avant has left us, and leaves a shadow longer than most. You may not have heard of him, but chances are, Clarence has had a profound effect on your record collection. Avant was a music exec and known as The Black Godfather and started off as a manager in NYC. Just for starters, Clarence…

Neil Young’s post Buffalo Springfield career is a fine one, but it wasn’t until ‘Harvest’ happened on the world that he became a legend. In ’72, the album was everywhere and inescapable on the radio. One man wasn’t happy about it, and that man was Bob Dylan. On the LP, fans would find ‘Heart Of…

We’ve not written about That Lizzo Story, because honestly, it all feels a bit like we’d be turning ourselves into a celebrity gossip site if we did. However, it’s a slow news day today. If you’ve missed it, effectively, go and look it up. Trigger warning though – it’s a pretty grim tale and involves…

FREE RANGE / MAY 2025
We have been incredibly lazy when it comes to reminding ourselves to share the tracklisting from the FREE RANGE radio show. We plain forgot that it was a piece of admin we used to do, until we were reminded by a listener. So with that, here’s the latest show for May 2025, featuring a lot…

JORJA SMITH WITH A MASSIVE BANGER
Jorja Smith has committed herself, it seems, to do whatever the hell she wants, and we’re absolutely strapped in for the ride. From dreamy R&B, to killer UK Garage appearances, and now, absolutely filthy bassline music. To get you up for the weekend, here’s her new track ‘The Way I Love You’, which will punch…
-
AESOP ROCK BACK WITH THE BOOM BAP
We already told you that the mighty Aesop Rock has got a new LP coming out called ‘Black Hole Superette’, but we’re going to stick with the promo, as he’s got a new track out and he’s ever reliable and wordy and fun. The new track is called ‘Send Help’, and he’s got all his…

WHERE ARE THE YG THINK PIECES?
“When I was young, I got raped by a bitch twice my age.” The opening line to YG’s recent single ‘2004’ there, to almost zero column inches or thought. While music journalism focused once again on Kanye’s latest implosion, Kneecap’s politics and gamely filling up pages with Korean pop in the hope to grab some…
