Doja Cat Announces New Album Scarlet, Previews “Demons” With Retro Horror Trailer Starring Christina Ricci
Last month, Doja Cat went on social media and pointedly refused to tell her fans that she loves them: “I don’t though cuz I don’t even know yall.” It’s time that someone said something about parasocial stan armies, and Doja is exactly the kind of pop star who doesn’t mind doing stuff like that. The […]
Yours Truly Turns 10
Ariana Grande’s debut album starts with a whoosh of strings, twirling like the spell that magicked Cinderella into her ballgown. The next track, “Baby I,” begins with the LucasArts THX intro, just before brass hits lock into place like spotlights. They’re less hooks than overtures, the first few notes before the curtain rises on the […]

Amanda Palmer & The Righteous Babes – “The Last Day Of Our Acquaintaince” (Sinéad O’Connor Cover)
Last month, the great Sinéad O’Connor died at the way-too-young age of 56. I’m sure a lot of people have been binging O’Connor’s music hard since her passing, and I am definitely one of those people. Since Sinéad’s loss, the song that’s been hitting me hardest is “The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance,” a gut-twisting […]
