Voodoo-U
If I had been the right age and not so isolated in the 90’s, what I wouldn’t give to go to a Lords of Acid show. I would have taken all of the drugs and had all of the anonymous sex. I …

Voicemail for Jill
Someone needed to write the definitive song about getting an abortion, and yes, Amanda Palmer was the one to do it. Few musicians have been as willing to get literally and metaphorically naked in p…

Visions of Johanna
Like generations of impressionable young people before me, I discovered Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde and understood one thing about it: whatever else he was talking about, he was depicting pe…

Virtual Insanity
Where and how did I imprint on men who look like this? I don’t even remember ever having seen this before, and it’s giving me visceral flashbacks anyway. I was barely tangentially aware…

Virgo’s Groove
Beyonce’s Renaissance (2022) is the first of a planned trilogy of albums meant to pay homage to what she sees as underrepresented areas of Black influence in American pop culture. If you know…

Violets for Roses
Okay, here’s a thought experiment: if I was, like, a guy, on the dating scene, looking for women, I would probably say that being a Lana Del Rey bitch was a huge red flag. And I would hypothe…

For the record, I don’t believe that Courtney Love murdered her husband, like some people say; I also don’t believe that she wrote all of his songs, like some others say. If she had, th…

Violently Happy
“Violently Happy” is about when you’re a junkie on exchanging emotion, not at one but at the level 200. That thing. And then the person goes away and you really miss someone. When you’r…

Violent Men
In 2016, a year notable for its excess of depressing-ass music, Anohni still managed to come out in the lead with one of the most unforgettably depressing records of the year. Quite an achievement.…

If I understand 80’s alternative music correctly, the whole point was to provide depressive vibes to rock fans who were turned off by the era’s neon-colored rah-rah capitalist flagwavin…

Admittedly, when I first heard it, I thought that some of the production choices – flute, birdsong – on Bjork’s Utopia (2017) were a little corny. But the more I listened to it, t…

Okay, first of all, it’s weird to see upstart young artists who are so blatantly influenced by Lady Gaga. 2009 should not be a reference point for a bygone era sitting alongside Jane Fonda&#8…

“Used to be the shit” is a song by Miniature Tigers, about Miniature Tigers. Not really, because they were at their peak when they wrote that, but in hindsight… Like, what happene…

You’ve heard of the 90’s phenomenon known as ‘silk shirt R&B’ – Babyface, Boyz II Men, etc. But have you heard of its next level evolution, ‘shirtless R&…

Untamed Girls
I just listened to The Raveonettes’ debut album (2003) for the first time, just in time to listen to their new one (2025). I guess that means that I’m a fan now, after not listening to …

Can we uncancel Sia yet? I miss her. Yes, I know that she made a bad movie. I haven’t seen it, but I saw the discourse, and the kindest takeaway is just, like, read the room, bitch. It’…
