Seems like a massive oversight that Boots Riley didn’t have every I Love Boosters ad soundtracked by “Get Em Girls”

The discourse has subsumed music criticism to where discussion of the new Olivia Rodrigo has largely revolved around whether wearing a babydoll dress is too "grunge-lite." Salt LaCroix wrote a superb essay about the "controversy" and the songs themselves powmag.net/p/olivia-rodri…

Americans love nothing more than inane, distorted, bad-faith debates. Today at the magazine: Gabrielle Minoli on Olivia Rodrigo and the baby doll dress that launched a thousand digital ships powmag.net/p/olivia-rodri…

"Distortion and opacity...a sensation of watching someone on the other side of an artificial waterfall in a family buffet—is often far more interesting & resonant than saying explicitly what one means." A brilliant essay on Aldous Harding by @sophiefkemp powmag.net/p/aldous-hardi…

@AlternateGlock no more drugs for me

Listening to Dark Fantasy for the first time in forever. Every sequencing change from the Hype Williams zip file to the final is correct EXCEPT he should’ve kept “Hell of a Life” up top as a prologue

RUN-DMC's "Raising Hell" was rap's first platinum album, it's first real blockbuster. On its 40th anniversary, @paulxt wrote about "Walk This way," the early routines, and the exact point of convergence between commerce and unmonetizable hip-hop culture. powmag.net/p/run-dmc-rais…

Run-DMC's Raising Hell is perhaps the key transitional moment in hip-hop's commercial trajectory. Today at the magazine, I wrote about that record, which turns 40 this month: powmag.net/p/run-dmc-rais…
