yeah, we got it—girls lovelovelove "confident" guys/"real men" (i.e. hot guys, for whom it's easy/natural to be confident). thanks.

go fuck yourself.

nope.

i think they give pop more play now because rock and hip-hop for the most part have, you know, sucked for a while.

i'm 42 and squarely gen x, and av club actually plays increasingly young and unfamiliar and millennial to me.

"fellatiating"? do they tickieickle the balls too?

he's like a cross between jeff buckley and antony hegarty..singing fergie and whitney houston songs.

mmm..katharine…

watch the videos for right there, the way and baby i..she seems to be having lots of fun.

i like the sweaterdress/white stockings deal. she's super-girlie in a non-slutty way, which slays me.

ariana grande is kind of the archetype of an "undeniably talented vocalist." and her interviews and youtube clips doing vocal impressions/homages display her abiding passion for music.

i've heard her talk quite a bit, and the idea that she's dumb just isn't accurate. she's quite thoughtful and articulate, even has some old-soul-ness about her. and i'm not sure how a voice that virtuosic can be "not naturally-talented."

her real brother? because i don't think she had a brother on victorious.

that awkwardness—to whatever extent a girl as multidimensionally-blessed as her can be awkward—works better in the video for "the way."

she's actually quite bright and thoughtful for her age/demo/genre, and into a quirky array of singers (e.g. judy garland), for what all that's worth. and she can sing her ass off. and "almost is never enough" and "right there", from her 1st album, are, respectively, a heartstopping early-90s style torch ballad and a…

wrong song.

i once knew a girl who had 3 sisters named colleen, april and francis..not too long after we met, i met my first girlfriend (whose birthday was 2 days before the first girl), and her name was—wait for it—-colleen april francis.

one of my hugest pet peeves is people spelling shit wrong that they're looking at spelled right. that is an uncommon spelling, though.

Mine is Frank, which didn't pose many pop-culture problems, but WAS delightfully alliterative for the tormentors of a kid who was always..Fat.

rudderless
it's about time
confetti
the great big no
it's a shame about ray
into your arms
rockin' stroll
i'll do it anyway
down about it
