And not a single piece of concrete fell on a DC United player after cracking off of RFK Stadium’s decaying corpse.
I’ve never been a fan of One Direction (that whole sound does little for me), but I dug what I saw of Styles on SNL this last week. And this interview gives me hope — I like how affirmative his choices are, like there’s an honest-to-god artistic voice in there. And his defense of his teenaged fan base is right on.…

Great list, though I want to get in a plug for Bahamdia, too.

For your approval:
The Academy’s year goes from October 1 to September 30. It’s why, for instance, A Tribe Called Quest wasn’t up in any of the rap categories, either.
I thought she was trying to find Prince’s guitar.

If MIA could do it...
You’ll be a real good listener! You’ll be honest! You’ll be brave!
Fifteen (!!) years on, this song still kills me.
Hallelujah is NOT A CHRISTMAS SONG.
This, actually, IS the hill I’m willing to die upon.
The best part of Beyonce headlining: She’s one of the few who is willing to take chances (thinking “Lemonade” in particular), meaning that Coachella might have its first “only at Coachella” moment in a quite a few years. If it’s just Beyonce bringing out some guest stars, I’ll be a bit disappointed.
Weaponized empathy.
1. Thank you for expressing my exact thoughts on “Blonde.” “I have no use for it” is much more succinct than “I recognize it is very good, and I can’t bring myself to care.”
The promise of the Internet was that platform wouldn’t matter, that quality would rise to the top. Simmons still believes that. But I’d argue that the consolidation of media wealth and the death of the living-wage artist both argue against the idea that the Internet would make the marketplace more dynamic.
To me, this is where Le Batard’s theory works. I know all about this stupid show, even though I don’t get FS1, because of Fox’s NFL coverage. There’s no parallel on HBO — the most popular shows there likely have little overlap with an audience that would know who Simmons is or care that much about sports.
Sssshhhhh. If he cries himself out, that’ll be an extra half-hour on his nap.
I still think there’s a way to make it work, but it involves fitness studios being much, much more organized than they actually are: ClassPass goes the Jukely route, offering last-minute spots in non-capacity classes. Studios that are only 50 percent full will gladly take $10 for a ClassPass student rather than $0 for…
This is the problem with the cable news business plan, it seems. When your “experts” are all politicians/lobbyists/bureaucrats/etc., you’ve got conflicts of interest all across the map. Take away all guests on these shows who have a title that ends in “strategist,” and you’d just have Don Lemon staring blankly at a…
The PopMech piece is interesting. I wonder if a part of the seemingly recent uptick has something to do with all of the large commercial space available for seasonal rent. With abandoned Circuit City/Borders stores still unoccupied in some/many areas, landlords are seeking any sort of income. In LA, that tends to mean…
