On Pop
Lamar’s lament
Good art doesn’t have to be politically correct
Hot sauce
Lil Nas X is the greatest show in the world right now
Music monsters
The perverted predators of pop
Smoke Signals
How a song can drift across a life
Gone West
What happened to Kanye?
Devil’s music
“Satanic Panic” still haunts heavy metal
Strange brew
The joy of letting unexpected, accidental music in
Lana chameleon
Pitchfork was one of a whole ecosystem of taste-making blogs which laid claim to being the ones who had made del Rey
Long players
As long as the fans are alive, it seems that a band can keep going
Raging irritants
Knowing Rage Against the Machine are political doesn’t overcome my determination to enjoy them anyway
