WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

After a well advised name-change, The Blessed Madonna has a new track out and it sounds like a weekend banger to us. It is called ‘Godspeed’ and features DJ E-Clyps. Very nice. The Blessed Madonna will be releasing her first full length LP and that’ll drop in October so we’ve a while to wait yet.

Y’know, it is nice to hear someone who has been there and done it, say that they’re not bothered by a lot of the trappings that comes with being a big ticket road dog. Chrissie Hynde and her Pretenders have forged a very successful career for decades now, so it’s not like she doesn’t know

‘Aminalympics’ is a cult favourite among many, and is a 1980 feature length animation that was blighted by America’s then-political situation, made by a TV powerhouse, voiced by superstars, soundtracked by pop royalty, produced by someone who would go on to make a gigantic Hollywood blockbuster, and sadly, not the famous and classic cartoon it

![BILLIE EILISH VS CHARLI XCX [TRAFFIC BAIT]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/good2520ones2520video2520still2520photo2520credit2520terrence2520o27connor.jpeg?w=1024)
Billie Eilish and Charli XCX have joined forces on a song. It is part of a deluxe version of the ‘BRAT’ album, which all the popstars are doing at the moment to bump up the streams and sales. It’s canny marketing, but you wonder if fans will cool on buying albums when they come out

There’s a film due out in September which surrounds Blur’s Wembley foray, which honestly, looks like a real nice time. It’s basically nice to see the gang back together and Damon and Graham being pals again. There’s a clip of their performance of ‘Beetlebum’ you can watch, which not only shows the magnitude of the

We promised we’d share the new video from The Junipers when we had it, and here it is! It’s a wonderful nugget of sunshine super pop, with hooky organ and dreamy psychedelia. If you’re into popsike, Emitt Rhodes and all that good stuff, you’ll love The Junipers already no doubt. In case you’re new here,

We’ve featured Lael Neale before and like her music a lot. It’s a kinda Velvetsy, kinda singer-songwritery music that is varied and sure footed and really turns our dials! ‘Electricity’ is the name of her new single and it’s got a fun, charming video to accompany it, which you can watch below. Neale says, “I

Everything is not as good as it used to be, music is worse, music journalism is doomed, the radio is bad, there’s nothing on TV, whatever happened to that good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll?, it’s all autotune, the DJs don’t even beat match, its all Tik Tok dances and blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda,

Ranking things is such a pointless and ugly endeavour. However, it is not beneath us to be either of those things in a futile bid to create some false engagement while people disagree or agree with you. With that, we’re not going to rank every Tiny Desk concert from the lovely folks at NPR, because

You already know how amazing The Junipers are, and that they’re just about the most perfect sunshine pop band in the entire universe. The last single was a beautiful, hopeful return to form and we’re genuinely thrilled to learn that there’s even more to come and we won’t have long to wait to hear it!

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…

LOVELY FOLK FROM JAMES ELKINGTON
James Elkington has a very pleasing folkie number out – along with a bunch of other songs too – all for a new LP called ‘Pastel De Nada’. The album is out March 28th, and of the new bits, ‘Very Berk Squad’ is a beautiful little instrumental gem. Press play.

BARONESS VS AI
AI is objectively awful for people who actually make things. In short, big tech is taking things from people, and it means they’ll lose their income. While some use of AI may make you laugh or be kinda novel, the fact remains that governments the world over are saying that it’s okay for tech companies…

CIRCUIT DES YEUX’S MOODY SYNTHS
Ever wished someone would make some synthpop that leaned a little more on the gothic side of things, without falling into stupid sexpot Industrial music? We have some great news for you! Circuit des Yeux have released a new track called ‘Canopy of Eden’ which is from new LP ‘Halo On The Inside’. It’s a…
