WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

He’s good is 03 Greedo. A fine rapper indeed. And he’s surprised everyone by dropping a new tape (not a literal tape of course, but that’d be nice if he did). The new release is called ‘FREE 03’ and has 15 songs for you to listen to. It has guesties from the late Drakeo the

‘Electronic Sound’ isn’t exactly at the front of people’s brains when it comes to Beatle Solo LPs. However, it is one of the more interesting cuts, from a vault that is possibly the most interesting and varied of off-shoot projects of any rock group. This is George Harrison of ‘My Sweet Lord’ lawsuit fame, and
-
Obviously, the story surrounding Young Thug’s RICO charges in the US is incredibly serious and very complex. If you’re looking for a serious, considered piece about this whole affair, then you should look somewhere else because, frankly, if we even hint at a sober thought, we’re too emotional and too bias and will fly off

At the turn of the ’80s, the yoof TV show Something Else had a great featurette on punk in Belfast. If you like local scenes, spotty kids and derelict streets, you’re in for a treat! Of course, ’80s Northern Ireland means – by law – you have to mention sectarianism and The Troubles. We’ve now
-
Everything But The Girl are back and it’s easy to worry about such a thing, because older acts can embarrass themselves sometimes. Not the case with Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt though because they love pop music and don’t muck around. It’s their first new tune in 24 years and it’s called ‘Nothing Left To
-
Not one of our writers really knows anything about K-Pop because historically, we’ve always covered rock and indie music. However, rock and indie fans don’t generate as much internet traffic as they used to and K-Pop fans apparently do, so we’re going to pretend we’ve always had a soft spot for pop music, and cover

It’s hard to sound original when there’s been so much music released, ever. However, Daniel Villareal is one of the most original musicians on the planet and you should get into him right now. Melding psychedelic jazz with dubs, post-rock, samba, spiritual music, electronics, and the kitchen sink, Villareal is a truly formidable and very,

So they can join the ranks of such luminaries as Dervish, Dustin the Turkey, and Nicky Byrne, John Lydon’s group Public Limited Image are going to compete to represent Ireland at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. They’re entering a new song called ‘Hawaii’ which is neither in Ireland, or Europe. Not that it matters much,

Morrissey is routinely awful, and yet, there’s many people who give him the time of day still despite aligning himself with literal fascist politicians and saying ropey stuff about the people of other nations. With all that, many have speculated that Miley Cyrus’ withdrawal from his (next) LP was probably something to do with his

BRIAN D’ADDARIO GOES SOLO
The Lemon Twigs have hit a hot streak lately, and in that time, have set up their own record label. Very nice indeed. What that has translated into now, is a solo cut from Brian D’Addario called ‘Till The Morning’, which has a mild echo of The Band in it, along with all the lovely,…

REDMAN AND METHOD MAN DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT
Ever see Method Man and Redman’s name together on a new release and hope it sounds exactly like you’d hope it’d sound? Great news for you then, because the legendary pair have teamed up on a track that sounds like super fun Golden Era hip hop that’s funny, fun, brassy, and all that good stuff.

BRUCE HAACK REISSUE
Electric pioneer and Canadian music legend Bruce Haack is always worth diving into when it comes to one of the most interesting and brilliantly oddball back catalogues, so news of a reissue is worth pricking your ears up for. His 1975 work ‘This Old Man’ is being tarted up and you’ll be able to buy…

DIG XX / ANOTHER LOOK AT PRE SOCIALS MADNESS
“You broke my sitar, motherfucker!” In the current climate of pop and rock, it might be impossible to think of a documentary like ‘DIG!’ being made. So unflinching is it in parts, that you can’t foresee the manicured bands of 2025 allowing themselves to be shown quite as starkly as The Dandy Warhols and Brian…
