Soft-launching today: A podcast series hosted by me and superhero critic @annkpowers.bsky.social, on why certain songs just keep coming back in style. New eps every two weeks for NPR Music Plus subscribers, but the first ep is free to all in the ASC feed. Go now: www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Wrote about what @artsorority.bsky.social evocatively described as "incomplete vinyl," for @npr.org. Your favorite artists may have a chart incentive to rush out record pressings with only partial tracklists, but it could also be a sign of the times. www.npr.org/2025/08/12/n...

“Other historical figures forge their emotional ties to an audience in short, contained bursts: news clips, acting performances, sports games. But music is a sling for ordinary life.” Sasha Geffen on Pavement and ‘Pavements’: www.npr.org/2025/06/04/n...

“‘Be’ feels like the last moment where the ‘conscious’ and ‘backpacker’ paradigms overlapped. Common and Kanye would work together again, but they were on different trajectories, the former dependable to the point of stagnation, the latter a chaos being hurtling toward maximum nonconformity.”

wrote about sin and sinners and their cultural memory, the blues as spirit and rap as the blues, soul as a supernatural force, godliness and godlessness dancing along the ancestral plane, the juke as tabernacle, time machine, and tombstone www.npr.org/2025/05/05/n...
