Wrote about what @artsorority.bsky.social evocatively described as "incomplete vinyl," for @npr.org. Your favorite artists may have a chart incentive to rush out record pressings with only partial tracklists, but it could also be a sign of the times. www.npr.org/2025/08/12/n...
Buying a pop album on vinyl? You might be paying for a fraction of the music
Fans who pre-ordered the new albums by Lil Wayne and The Weekend on vinyl got a rude awakening: More than half the songs that appeared on the streaming version were missing on the LP.

“Other historical figures forge their emotional ties to an audience in short, contained bursts: news clips, acting performances, sports games. But music is a sling for ordinary life.” Sasha Geffen on Pavement and ‘Pavements’: www.npr.org/2025/06/04/n...
Darlings on the split screen: 'Pavements' explodes the music movie
Movies about musicians love to hit the same melodramatic beats about fame and genius. Important but not quite famous, the '90s indie band Pavement is the exception that unbalances the formula.

“‘Be’ feels like the last moment where the ‘conscious’ and ‘backpacker’ paradigms overlapped. Common and Kanye would work together again, but they were on different trajectories, the former dependable to the point of stagnation, the latter a chaos being hurtling toward maximum nonconformity.”
It's your world: Common, Kanye and the conflicted promise of 'Be'
In 2005, two Chicago titans made a generational classic and then sprinted in opposite directions, each daring the rest of hip-hop to follow them.

wrote about sin and sinners and their cultural memory, the blues as spirit and rap as the blues, soul as a supernatural force, godliness and godlessness dancing along the ancestral plane, the juke as tabernacle, time machine, and tombstone www.npr.org/2025/05/05/n...
In 'Sinners,' the blues is a portal between this world and the next
Ryan Coogler's period thriller knows "the devil's music" isn't the opposite of the holy word, but its twin.

To digicore and beyond: A heater from @jiggyraps.bsky.social on hyperpop's first decade and the current generation of young artists carrying its sounds into restless new places
Anatomy of a microgenre: hyperpop's next evolution
Raised on EDM and SoundCloud rap, shaped by online gaming and Discord chats, a young generation is tearing the blown-out experimental pop of the 2010s into new shapes.
