When I worked as a Digital Culture Reporter at Business Insider, we had an expression for how we’d cover the buzziest new stories: Flood the zone. Like a faulty fire hydrant, or a vacuum cleaner whizzing up and down with the uncontrollable hysteria of a feral raccoon, our directive was to suck up as manyRead More
Listening to The Life You Save feels safe, not in the sense of risk-aversion, but in the way Wasner creates a tender space in which to dismantle what had seemed so sure, to see without judgment all the ways you might have been kidding yourself all along. Her soft yet rich voice is innately consoling,Read More
As expected, Taylor Swift’s new album The Life of a Showgirl has broken records on its way to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts. Swift’s 15th LP debuted with 4.002 million equivalent album units (including pure album sales and streaming activity), with pure album sales totaling 3,479,500, 1.3 million of which were vinylRead More
These aren’t obscure soundalikes—they are several of the most famous songs already ever made, now recreated in the genre of “Taylor Swift song.” Whatever vision Martin and Shellback set out to realize here is not really serving her strengths and, intentionally or not, appears to signal a disinterest in evolution. “Father Figure” has some ofRead More
For a minute, it felt as if Taylor Swift was about to embark on her own Never Ending Tour. It’s more fair to say Swift is on something closer to a perpetual victory lap. Beyond the Eras Tour grossing over $2 billion in sales, she scored a record-breaking fourth Grammy for Album of the Year,Read More
Earlier this evening (Monday, August 11), Taylor Swift updated her website with a clock counting down to 12:12 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on August 12. Now, she’s announced a new album. The Life of a Showgirl will mark Swift’s 12th studio album and follow-up to 2024’s The Tortured Poets Department and its extended edition, TheRead More
This type of mythology is also what makes Wilson, paradoxically, one of the most popular cult artists of all time. I would pinpoint this transition to sometime in the ’90s, when he became situated within a canon of artists driven to the brink by their own creative spirit—he is name-dropped alongside figures like Syd Barrett,Read More
Is that Water From Your Eyes frontperson Rachel Brown making an allusion to “6 God” on the band’s new single “Life Signs”? Really, they’re mumbling “sick sky,” but the mondegreen reveals something about the song’s associative, densely rhyming spoken verses––“Tick tick you’re alive sunlit sick sky scraped by bright eyed short sight online.” The firstRead More
Seventeen was a very good year: sneaking out to dance all night at Hugs&Kisses, swigging peach schnapps from a jewel-encrusted flask at the Mercat Basement, being the first to arrive and the first to leave at Misty Nights. I lived in a relatively small city but I didn’t know anyone, or anything, so the nightsRead More
Recently I learned about this god-awful thing known to astrologers as the “eclipse portal,” a weird energy gauntlet between lunar and solar eclipses during which the vibes are volatile. I had a bad feeling when I heard that this month’s total lunar eclipse—the first one in three years—would feature something called the “Blood Worm Moon,”Read More
