I got Mike Barthel to explain the whole “Kelly Clarkson comes out as a Ron Paul supporter and makes the Internet really mad” thing. Also, you know, “Never Again” is still a pretty good song!

I don’t know… internalized sexism (and racism, etc) that people learn from the culture surrounding them manifests itself in, like, totally crazy ways? JUST A THOUGHT, THAT YOU CAN CATALOG.

When it comes to infuriating Rihanna singles of 2011, though, there’s only one winner. When Calvin Harris becomes the go-to-producer for every chart act in 2012 off the back of the basic-as-fuck “We Found Love”, you will see exactly what I mean.
God I thought it was just me. Seriously! That song is a loop-de-loop through a complete void.

Bullets, unproofed.
In the car on the way home I thought a little bit more about the Muumuu mess. Sorry if these are too succinct for some people, but I have to get all of this out of my brain ASAP.
• My first reaction to the “Marie Calloway” piece was, in fact, an indictment of the pseudonymous dude, who sounded like a pretentious ass who was frequently in over his intellectual head in his public life....

Hold Your Head Up
Trees Lounge makes me think hard about the road I didn’t travel, the one that wouldn’t have led me out of Long Island.
