You might recall that time I threw shade at Canadian art-pop star Grimes, designating her third studio album Visions as “obnoxious hipster music”. A funny thing happened since then! In an effort to confirm how overrated Grimes is, I listened to Visions on repeat whilst […]

Matt Nathanson: “Modern Love”
So what if Matt Nathanson‘s most recent output sounds like it was tailor-made for bad adult contemporary radio playlists? He could stick his face in my butt whenever he wanted. Yes, I’m fully aware that “whenever he wanted” would be “never”, given the whole “heterosexual” […]
Garbage: “Big Bright World”
“Big Bright World” was exactly what I needed from a Garbage comeback album. The latest offering from the band’s fifth studio album Not Your Kind of People reminds me of why I fell in love with them in the ’90s. It’s more immediately likable than […]
Alpaca Sports: “I Was Running”
Here’s the thing about Swedish indie-pop! The lead vocalist could be singing about debilitating heartbreak, parole rape, genocide or Elton John‘s butt cheeks, and there’s a ninety percent chance that it’ll all sound like pure sunshine, rainbows and puppy parades. On the surface level, Göteborg […]
The “Real Man” Project: Big Dipper
Have you met my new husband, Big Dipper? (Sorry, Troy Daniels. There’s more of him to love.) Of course you have! We’ve written about him approximately 99 trillion times on Manhunt Daily, including an exclusive interview and a post about his latest single “Summertime Realness”. […]
Jade Alston: “Sober”
STEP ONE OF A BREAK-UP: Listen to sad, overly melodramatic Adele songs, as you cry yourself to sleep with a half-empty pint of Ben & Jerry’s melting onto your bed sheets. Post an emotional Facebook status update the next morning that, we promise you, nobody […]
Who Would You Rather: George Michael & Elton John
I’ve been thinking a lot about Elton John lately. By “lately,” I mean since yesterday afternoon when my blogging compatriot Dewitt posted pictures of Elton’s bare buttcheeks swinging low over the ocean. They weren’t THAT bad. To be honest, they could have been hanging down […]
Taylor Swift: “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
Guess what? Country-pop darling Taylor Swift released another break-up song! Except, this time, instead of making a songs that sound exactly like every other Taylor Swift song, she made a song that sounds exactly like every other Avril Lavigne song. “We Are Never Ever Getting […]
CANNOT UNSEE: Elton John’s Butt
When he’s not too busy throwing shade at Madonna or sipping on Lady Gaga‘s poon juices, the man known as Sir Elton John does things that normal rich people do. He was recently spotted, like every other celebrity in the world, hanging out on a […]
Japandroids: “The House That Heaven Built”
My indie nerd friends (that I follow on Twitter and pretend are my real friends) have been swearing up and down that Japandroids‘ Celebration Rock is one of the best albums of the year. I’ve yet to listen to any songs beyond “The Night of Wine […]
