WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • CAMI LAYÉ OKÚN

    Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

  • WE NEEDED ICE SPICE

    Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

  • 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…

  • LIZZO TO PLAY ROSETTA THARPE

    It really is about time that Sister Rosetta Tharpe had a biopic, seeing as she influenced an entire generation of rock ‘n’ roll artists who came after her – a real trailblazer, and more importantly, in possession of a ferocious talent. With that in mind, a biopic we will get, and playing her will be…

  • WEYES BLOOD DOES NEIL DIAMOND

    While we patiently wait for new music from Weyes Blood, the good news is that she’s covered a song for us to listen to. Of course, she’s got excellent taste and for the soundtrack for a TV show (‘Good American Family’, if you need to know), she’s covered Neil Diamond’s ‘Shilo’. Press play. Hopefully, some…

  • PIGS X7 + EL-P

    That headline looks like some kind of bloody equation doesn’t it? Anyway, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs have teamed up with rapper El-P, perhaps to the surprise of some. This collab is going to appear on Pigsx7’s new LP ‘Death Hilarious’, which you can hear on April 4th. Live shows imminent.

  • MATTY MATHESON HARDCORE BAND

    He sold the idea of cooking to hipsters too cool to watch regular TV, he’s got a lot of tattoos, was in The Bear, is a restauranteur and all that jazz – now, Matty Matheson has announced he’s got a hardcore band called Pig Pen. He’s announced this on socials, so if you’re a fan,…
