Girls Aloud who? I have to pass on the gay club stomp and awkward white-girl-rapping of the UK girl group’s new track “Something New”. Instead, I’ll be spinning this imported treat from K-pop quartet Secret called “Poison”, a song so reminiscent of producer Rich Harrison‘s work […]

Bats For Lashes: “All Your Gold”
I don’t know, you guys! I think muscle bottom whore Benny G did a better job at pulling off the whole “flower in the hair” look! Although, as far as we know, Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes has him beat in the music department (unless […]
Billy Eichner *Hearts* Madonna
Billy Eichner makes everyone happy. Or maybe just me. He’s a tall hysterical man who gets in people’s personal space with inane questions, and then screams at them and runs off when he doesn’t like the answers. It doesn’t read that amusing on your monitor, […]
Cheers Elephant: “Leaves”
While you were busy uploading your 18,706th cliché shot of autumnal foliage on Instagram, I was over here pushing for Cheers Elephant‘s “Leaves” to become the sleeper indie-hit of the fall season. The track came out back in May—which makes it old news by internet […]
Dum Dum Girls: “Lord Knows”
I’ve been keeping an ongoing playlist for the autumnal season, which currently includes selections from Solange Knowles, Fibes, Oh Fibes!, DaQuan, Lord Huron, HAERTS, Years & Years, Mykki Blanco, Dark Dark Dark, Alpaca Sports, SWIM DEEP and Sky Ferreira. (For those of you who are worried that I’m […]
Madonna’s “Sex” Book And “Erotica” Album Turned 20 This Week
Gramma is getting UP THERE in age, huh? Actually, this anniversary makes ME feel old. No betraying my age, but I will confess that I was dancing around to the sleazy club beats of Erotica on a…this hurts to type…Sony Discman. Look, you knew I […]
HAERTS: “Wings”
Pardon me while I take a break from writing about Kelly Clarkson, Nicki Minaj and dicks up butts to talk about a song I genuinely adore. HAERTS‘ are an annoyingly mysterious, Brooklyn-based band who, at this current point in time, only have one song to […]
Nicki Minaj & Cassie: “The Boys”
Let’s all give Nicki Minaj a round of applause! She’s trying really hard! Frankly, it’s embarrassing that in a world of talented female emcees—from the spitfire lyricism of Angel Haze to the club-ready anthems of Azealia Banks—this is the woman we’re touting as the current […]
Kelly Clarkson: “Catch My Breath”
Browsing through the track-list for Kelly Clarkson‘s upcoming compilation Greatest Hits – Chapter One, I was reminded how much I love Kelly Clarkson. This is largely because the set relies on Kelly’s golden era between 2004-2006, when she released a string of insanely catchy singles […]
DaQuan: “Where Did You Go?”
DaQuan is the other half of Philly-based hip-hop duo Sgt. Sass. The pair stormed onto the scene around 2007 with their blog hits “Faggot Snappin’” and the Salt-n-Pepa referencing “I’ll Take Your Man”, following those tracks with three consistently excellent mixtapes—ART FGGT/FGGT ART, Body Rock & […]
