This week, I’m making a sincere effort to only write about music I’d listen to on my own time. That’s why, instead of hearing a Cheyenne Jackson song that bores me to tears, you’re getting another dose of up-and-coming female rapper Azealia Banks! (But you […]

Florence + The Machine: “Breath of Life”
Does anyone remember back in the day when soundtracks were a “thing”? I know, I know! That sounds like a ridiculously stupid question. I might as well just ask, “Does anyone remember when people went out to stores and actually bought physical copies of albums?” […]
Canyons: “When I See You Again” (Duke Dumont Remix)
“This makes me want to have sex with an Australian.” That’s the first thought that came to mind upon listening to the Duke Dumont remix of Canyons‘ “When I See You Again”. At the time, I was not aware that Canyons members Ryan Grieve and […]
Icona Pop: “I Love It”
Icona Pop‘s “I Love It” is the brat pop song of the century. It’s as loud and obnoxious as your standard mindless party track by Ke$ha or Katy Perry, yet the overall energy is more akin to Le Tigre or any variety of bad-ass ’80s […]
Emeli Sandé: “My Kind of Love”
The best description we can come up with for Emeli Sandé is “Alicia Keys meets Adele“. Based on what we’ve heard, she keeps one foot firmly planted in R&B and soul, with the other lodged deep within the melodramatic, power pop, “torch song” sound that […]
Passion Pit: “Take A Walk”
The snob in me has to admit that I became a little disenchanted with Passion Pit, after they went from my own little secret to an internationally-recognized “indie” band who makes remixes for Lady Gaga and has their songs played on Gossip Girl. That isn’t […]
Scissor Sisters: “Let’s Have A Kiki”
The collective gay internet’s jizzing their pants over the new Scissor Sisters track “Let’s Have A Kiki”. We’re going to chalk this up to RuPaul’s Drag Race withdrawal, because the song is mostly just Ana Matronic leaving a voicemail message over a relatively generic beat? […]
Would You Hit That?: Rufus Wainwright
Singer and composer Rufus Wainwright has a new disc out (Out Of The Game) and he’s doing the press thing. Did you know Bea Arthur basically told him to fuck off at a party one time? Dorothy Zbornak does not have time for foppish male […]
Daydream Vacation: “Dare Seize The Fire”
Daydream Vacation is a Seattle-based indie supergroup of sorts (if you can categorize two people in one band as a “supergroup”). The pairing brings together Dave Einmo of Head Like A Kite and Asya of Smoosh, the latter of whom is most famous for rocking […]
Twin Shadow: “Five Seconds”
Justin Bieber finally unveiled the new music video for “Boyfriend”. Former X-Factor judge Cheryl Cole did her best impression of Rihanna‘s “We Found Love”. R&B singer Brian McKnight debuted the full version of “IfUrReadyToLearn (C.A.T.S.)”, the best song about squirting vaginas you will ever here. […]
