This really should have been posted here, I suppose.
I’m not proud of it, but I used to loathe Natalie Merchant. My trouble with her was almost entirely wrapped up in the song “Kind and Generous,” in which I found her voice grating.
I sort of love her now (thanks almost entirely to Ophelia), and very much enjoyed this Hairpin piece looking…
“Demons” is the ruminative new song from the National— listen here.
Look, if loving Justin Timberlake is wrong, I don’t want to be right. “Mirrors” is a jam. I want to dedicate it to my husband, Casey Kasem-style.
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes
Little boxes
Little boxes all the same
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
And the people in the houses all go to the university
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same
And there’s doctors and there’s lawyers
And business executives
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dry
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
And they all get put in boxes, and they all come out the same
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same
There’s a green one, and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same

Watch Jessie Ware perform “Wildest Moments” with the Roots on “Fallon”.
Now, Maya Rudolph is fulfilling a bit of a childhood fantasy. Together with her college friend Gretchen Lieberum, she’s formed a Prince cover band called — what else? — Princess. The duo had its television debut recently on NBC’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, with a little help from the show’s house band, The Roots.

I’m too lazy to compile my favorite tracks of the year, but Jessie Ware’s “Wildest Moments” is up there.
For years, I've been waking up with a song in my head.
What you hear here is my morning soundtrack. For better or worse.
