ninety9: So it’s like GOOP… for hetsies? Ladies, this is bad form. Very bad form indeed. Everything hosted on the site will be lady-friendly, so visitors need not worry about finding the standard Boys Club content that makes many entertainment sites unappealing to so many of us.

“I’m really not a product fetishist when it comes to music. I don’t obsess over...”
– Tracey Thorn via ThisisfakeDIY (via batteryinyourleg) As ever, Tracey gently reveals what happens in adulthood in our modern world without making it sound terribly traumatic. I used to be a product fetishist, but now that I can literally buy anything in about 30 seconds, instead of beating used...

The Girls in Their Summer Dresses
sschlink: “I’m older now, I’m a man getting near middle age, putting on a little fat, and I still love to walk along Fifth Avenue at three o’clock on the east side of the street between Fiftieth and Fifty-seventh Streets. They’re all out then, shopping, in their furs and their crazy hats, everything all concentrated from all over the world into seven blocks— the best furs, the best clothes, the...

True story
Prompted by Marc Hogan’s quarterly report, I thought, Oh hey I need to listen to tUnE-yArDs’ w h o k i l l.  So, I gave it a go just now and made it all the way to “Bizness” before I gave up and just went and listened to some Lizzie Mercier Descloux instead. Which brings me to the crux of this post; a lot of the songs on w h o k i l l made me really uncomfortable, and you...

“‘Underground’, in 2011, means creating an atmosphere of cultural intimacy. So...”
– Simon Reynolds, writing about Not Not Not Fun in the current issue of The Wire, makes a great point here that I thought I’d overlooked in my piece on the intersection of cassette and web culture early last year. Actually as I sat down to type this post I was thinking the NYT brought up the...

Rebecca Solnit: Men Explain Things to Me →
ladyjournos: The archipelago of arrogance. Tom Dispatch || April 13, 2008 I’m glad to see Rebecca Solnit getting some love on the dashboard today. (I see you people out there reblogging and <3-ing. This pleases me!) I love the moment at which the mansplainer in the lede anecdote goes ashen; I love it when that happens in my own life. Well, maybe not LOVE it, but it means that I am...

100 Composers Under 40 | NPR →
capitalnewyork: If you want to learn more about these composers (strange that there are no links to other resources in the list), some of them have been featured on Capital New York, including Dan Deacon, and our own Zachary Woolfe has written about Nico Muhly for the New York Times. About 1/2 of this list is known to me (I feel a project coming on!); it’s also vaguely amusing that they...
