On The Brod →
Some fratstar is translating Jack Kerouac’s On The Road into brospeak. One might say this could become lingua frat-ca for the deeply bro and those of us outside the bibrosphere.

– Christopher Weingarten in the Village Voice’s “20 Worst Songs of 2010,” writing about Nicki Minaj and Ludacris’s track “My Chick Bad.” Now that I’ve read about hashtag rap, I’ll hear it everywhere. dammit

Album Review
Cul-de-Sac by Childish Gambino If you’ve ever watched “30 Rock,” you may remember that the perpetually delusional Tracy Jordan is committed to becoming one of the few “EGOTs” in the world— that is, an individual who has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. Childish Gambino, whose Cul-de-Sac was released in July, seems to be gunning for the same goal: he acts on a...

Music as a Scene/Subculture

In the winter of eighth grade, I was lucky enough to experience my father’s mid-life crisis just as it perfectly lined up with my own little-less-than-a-quarter-life crisis. I was 14 years old, and one random weeknight my dad burst into our suburban home with a shining, woodsy-smelling Gibson guitar and a wide smile across his face.

oh muh gah
Aren’t y’all lucky. Seriously. You get a wonderful gift. Tonight, I finished editing my pieces for “Writing About Popular Music” to perfection. So I’m gonna post them over the next three days. The assignment will be included in the title of the post. I’ll start with my favorite and go horribly downhill from there.
