Major album releases typically have long and involved promotional hype cycles–by the time an LP drops, there may be a long enough list of rumored songs and collaborators to make an entire other album.

In fact, it’s 2% sausagier than the Met’s Modern Art section in 1989, according to the Guerrilla Girl’s “weenie count.” That sort of gender disparity on behalf of the curator is too […]

Charlie the Tuna, Buzz Bee, and other species potentially facing extinction waved from the top deck of a sightseeing tourist bus and from individual vehicles at passersby. There will be no shortage […]
