THIS THIS THIS THIS

Always wanted to write a Sunday Review, but never had time when I actually worked at Pitchfork. A year later, I finally did. This is an LP close to my heart— my teen angst in sonic form. In 1995, I snuck out to a Babes show on a school night and got grounded. Worth it. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Just a reminder… for no particular reason…

Favorites of the year… just under the wire 🤘

Wrote about an extremely unpleasant listening experience for @hearingthingsco.bsky.social www.hearingthings.co/the-most-dep...

This new Sade video is unreal. Music video of the year, hands down. It’s all home movie footage of Sade raising her son, literally from birth. (There is video of her in the maternity ward!) I can’t believe it exists. youtu.be/IFMmnMjFiPk?...

After belting throughout a showing of Les Mis in 2012, I found myself in a bathroom stall overhearing 2 women complain about the person next to them ruining the movie with her terrible voice. I come out and discover it’s the people who had been sitting next to me. Not sure who was more embarrassed.
