Someone on the girlgroup yahoogroup of ladies music writer-nerds sent this excellent article on the boys club that is the high-level music industry. “To be fair, there are plenty of men signing female artists not prancing around in high heels. But it’s hard to imagine this comment about Spears coming from a female: During an […]

Word to Jada Pinkett for giving her alma mater a million bucks in the name of Tupac. This is a good time to mention that season four of HBO’s THE WIRE just ended on Sunday, and if you watched it and you’re not motivated to withhold your Iraq tariff and donate the money to your […]

Everyone who called me from Art Basel Miami this week was wasted whilst doing so. “We drank 19 Smirnoff Mangotinis and we DIDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR ONE!!! IT’S AWESOME DOWN HERE!” and so on. I can only assume Bey-Z, too, were wasted when they dropped forty G’s on a chair that looks like my […]

On deadline, can’t talk. But La Consuela “Connie 4LIFE” Wohn sent this too-good-to-be-true story about rapping birds that I thought you should read.

With rumors flying around about the replacement of Justin Long, the actor playing The Mac in Apple’s current I’m A Mac ad campaign, there’s been some debate as to the campaign’s effectiveness.Actually, “debate” is probably too mild a descriptor. ‘Vitriolic spleen venting’ might do a bit better. From Slate to the TWiTs, commentators on all […]

It is a travesty that I have not yet linked to/ pointed out the blog of one of my favorite writers ever, Jason King. He is also a stellar person. READ IT NOW. Also: TEVIN CAMPBELL IS THIRTY?! Also Lala is straight preggers and interviewing 50 and Em on TRL, which we are watching now […]
