I would think that nowadays it would actually be really easy for younger folks to find music from a generation or two before. I’m almost 40, and when I was a kid I was REALLY into things like old-time radio shows, but it took lots of digging and cooler adults who would pass on old cassettes. Heck, in the early 90’s in…

I don’t think it has anything to do with who’s ‘better’ or even who’s more popular so much as it has to do with who had albums and tours in the past year. On years where Beyonce released an album or went on tour, I’m sure she was #1.

I’m sure Katy takes home quite a bit from each stop, but those arenas take HUNDREDS of people to put together. The amount of people employed who have to get paid is pretty astronomical. I mean, even folks you don’t think about, like the truck drivers and the people who do the staff catering and the folks working the…

It’s true; you can see her natural hair in ‘Elf!’

How about a compromise where you use a Ouija board to prank call dead people?

See, I feel like I would get along really well with Taylor Swift because we’d just exchange cat pictures / stories for hours. HOURS!

I feel like back in the 90’s every social circle had that one cool alternative / gothy girl who had all her friends decorate their walls in sharpie; security deposit be damned. When I was in High School, it was a girl named Monica (LOTS of Tori Amos quotes - I remember that). Then when I graduated and moved to the Bay…

“How do y’all make your Fiona Apple thinspo shrines without magazines?”

You will not regret it. She totally needs her own show.

Her name’s Roxy! Mackenzie’s a ventriloquist and they do musical numbers together. It’s AMAZING!

If it wasn’t for the Miss America pageant, I would have never learned about Miss Ohio Mackenzie Bart who is just SO SO great, you guys!

Oops, I meant to type ‘lots of places in AMERICA where that’s a middle-class income.’ There probably aren’t any in California.

Oh, but as an insider on this; I think some private practice therapists make six figures after a few years, but if you’re working as an agency or school-based therapist, those positions, along with social worker jobs, start at about $35K - $40K here in the Bay Area. It’s CRAZY low! I mean, there’s lots of places in…

PURCHASE a home, nuthin! Even RENTING a studio is about $3K a month! I’m lucky to have found what was probably the last cheap apartment in the Bay Area, and I’m clutching it with both hands as tightly as I can. If I ever lost it, I’d basically have to leave Northern California, and as someone who’s been here my whole…

Well, in my case, the reason is Because San Francisco; where social workers, therapists, teachers and RNs don’t make enough to afford the rent. My partner’s in mental health and has to drive for Lyft on the side to survive. I’m in a similar field and only get by because of sweet, glorious rent control. It shouldn’t…

It’s infuriating because I’ve seen this mentality a lot lately (sadly, it’s SUPER pevailent now here in the tech industry-obsessed city of San Francisco) where people talk about careers like social work or therapy or even friggin’ TEACHING as though going for these positions is as reckless and childish as expecting to…

When I first read that Jeb! said ‘psych majors are working at Chick Fil-A’, for a second I thought that he had made an important and valid point; the economy is so rough and the middle-class are struggling so much that even people with highly educated professions have to do extra jobs like fast food to make ends meet,…

“Oh look, somebody’s blathering about Peter Murphy and the 90’s on Jezebel - OH, OF COURSE IT’S DAVE!”

As it should be, 5. As it should be.

Now? ‘Cuts You Up’ was my jam for a decade, but even then I pretty much knew what that spooky bro was really cutting up was lines of crank. Love you, Peter Murphy, but your meth use surprised none of us!
