No Country For Old Pop Stars

February 9, 2012 |  by


I don’t like Football. I, like the other 3 million extra people tuned into to the Super Bowl just for the halftime show. And to see Madonna. On the eve of her 12th album, if you study numerology you’d understand that significance, and her re-entry into American Pop Culture, this was her magnum opus on stilettos and gold. But the response was anything but celebratory.

How to Fake it in America: Is Lana Del Rey the Kim Kardashian of Pop Music?

January 26, 2012 |  by


When the video for Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games” spread like a wildfire across the Internuts earlier this year I was initially skeptical. As a rule of thumb anything that Pitchfork heralds that early on I side-eye out of respect for the way things should be. Fast forward to a top 25 pre-ordered album on Amazon, a cover on Billboard, Complex and Interview Magazine and an abysmal SNL performance that would make Ashlee Simpson do the ho-down back to Hollywood–and Lana is looking more like Mitt Romney, than Ron Paul. Gone was our indie darling image, in it’s place was some kind of abominable indie-pop conspiracy, a lip injected, spoiled, manufactured, super-rich airhead being sold to a gullible world as indie-pop royalty when in reality she’s more like the Kim Kardashian of Pop Music, a musical example of the things that money can buy.

January 16, 2012 |  by

Good music speaks volumes… rather than impose analysis, step back and expose linguistic artistry… why critique that which has achieved perfection at its own masterful conception… listen, look, and linger in fantastic rhythmic reality: lyrically speaking

While Dreamers do Dream Dreams that Come True, Atlanta Isn’t a City of Dreamers like Wonderland

January 9, 2012 |  by

In a land far, far away there is metropolis. It’s a metropolis filled with urbanites and artists striving so hard for Hollywood fame. It’s a barrel of people filled with high hopes and the criteria to be able to afford hope is getting higher and higher. This town I speak of is my home. This town I speak of is more commonly referred to as Atlanta.
