Iggy Azalea in Steve Aoki’s “Beat Down.”

Sometimes, you need a new context for old things. Heard Siouxie’s “Hong Kong Gardens” on Girls and remembered how great it was (despite an Orientalist overtone). It stands out from contemporary songs on the soundtrack, partly because of the analog production, partly because I just don’t hear much music with spirit these days…?

Jay Reatard covering Deerhunter’s “Fluorescent Grey.”

My soul is piloted by Guided by Voices when I do the collapse.

Underrated 80s-90s hip hop by Renegade Soundwave. This stuff is starting to sound obsolete-fresh to me these days.
-
Would love Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto to produce some of today’s hip hop like Iggy Azalea or something.
-
Hum “Stars.” The opening chord is sooooo fucking ’90s.

A better answer as to why people dislike Nickelback is tautological: They hate them because they hate them. Sometimes it’s fun to hate things arbitrarily, and Nickelback has become an acceptable thing to hate. They’re technically rich and technically famous, so they just have to absorb the denigration and insist they don’t care. They have good songs and they have bad songs, and the bad songs are bad enough to build an anti-Nickelback argument, assuming you feel like that’s important. But it’s never required. It’s not like anyone is going to contradict your thesis. There’s no risk in hating Nickelback, and hating something always feels better than feeling nothing at all.

Yes, yes. I shan’t be yesterday’s girl anymore. Every word in this song is a needle prick trying to wake me the fuck up.

Totally NSFW & very violent Spiritualized video by AG Rojas. A heart-wrenching story. Though, I can’t help but wonder if it’s their story to tell without being, or at least seeming, patronizing?
I was laid off 2 days before my birthday in 2009, a dismal blessing. I miss health insurance and payroll, but I haven't bought bread since the pink slip because I have time to bake.
Sometimes I'm a serious job hunter, sometimes a serious slacker, but mostly, I'm an underemployed, freelance Jaqueline of many trades including writing and dogsitting. Either way, I scrapbook my finds and activities here for your benefit and amusement.
Follow me on Twitter if tv/movie/pro-cycling spoilers and unplanned live tweets won't hail on your parade. And yes, I do work blue so don't be huffy with me if you don't like cursing or merciless roasting of public figures.
You can look at my other blog Fashion Corpuscle if you like fashion. The ruins of my crumbling Tumblr blog empire awaits internet archaeologists.
