Lunch at Givenchy?

I've been meaning to catch up with the Joy Formidable. I really liked "The Big Roar," then never got around to listening to their follow-up.

In the early days of YouTube, co-inciding with my deep dive into post-punk music, I watched all of these very low-quality (even for 2006-7) video clips from the concert film "Urgh! A Music War." At the time, the film had not been released on DVD, because RCA had an exclusive home-media agreement to distribute it only

That's a bro-country thing. Trump supporters are only now warming up to that showboating Garth Brooks.

Lucky for us, Marco Rubio may have killed that rubric once and for all when he said the non-politician he'd like to have a beer with was Malala Yousefzai. (A Muslim teenager recovering from a traumatic brain injury; that's a party!)

The fact that a Christian rap-metal group went mainstream was plausible, but I'd expect that group to be an even whiter, more Midwestern version of 311. The fact that they were, in fact, a bunch of Chicanos from San Diego is what I can't explain.

White people love Hootie. End of story.

1979 is more like it.

For me, that was middle school, and those were the days I listened to whatever was on the radio without discriminating taste.

Shooby Taylor, everybody!

P.O.D. remains the most inexplicable band I have ever encountered.

My musical tastes were solidified during the Bling Era of Hip Hop, and as such never developed a taste for rap music. When did grills and spinning wheel rims go out of style?

WWWHAT?!

It's worth pointing out that the Simpsons were also way ahead of the game in seeing the parallels between Trump and Mussolini.

Is Joey on that list just so you can say, "How about you and me roll a fat one?"

…It will come ten years too late for a less deserving performance, which she will win primarily because all the other nominees are less popular or have burned more bridges than she has.

She's 3/4 of the way to the EGOT, though. Once she gets that Oscar, she'll be more powerful than any head of state!

It already looks like the same thing that happened in Chicago yesterday is going to happen in Cincinnati tomorrow; there are all sorts of conflicting reports on whether his scheduled rally there has been canceled or not.

Prince is fiercely protective of his image and intellectual property, and he goes to great lengths to ensure that no one tries to compromise those things. I don't think he cares about royalties, and he's not against digital media in general; he values keeping full control of his work, and he sticks to his principles.
