Azealia Banks , Beyonce , Everett True , Lady Gaga , Song of the day
Look at all the comments underneath this video. Most every single one is pitting her against another female rapper – usually Nicki Minaj or Iggy Azalea. Or perhaps Brooke Candy. Lady Gaga, even. Like there really isn’t room for more than one female in rap or hip-hop or pop music, whatever you want to call it. […]

Beyonce , Everett True , Song of the day
Thought I’d be honest with you. This is what I listen to in my moments of strength. I was reminded of this particular song last night by a student linking to Frank Ocean. I like Frank Ocean, particularly when he quits trying to be so damn soulful. I like Beyoncé a whole bunch more. Here’s what […]

Music played in week 1 of KMB003. This was for the general introductory lecture + tutorial. Most of the quotes below are mine. Click on the song title for the link. 1. Destiny’s Child – Survivor (ft.

Everett True details what he did tonight instead of watching corporate cult band Cults play live. I watched Game Of Thrones, to be part of the common herd. I thought about how cold it is outside, sparking (favourable) memories of Cerys Matthews (who doesn’t do my favourite version, not by a long stretch). I figured […]

The worst thing about end of year polls is that they all come out in early December, which is hilarious because that means nobody got to talk about one of the best albums of the year. The Beyoncé album, called Beyoncé, was released with no fanfare, no reviews, and no warning. It then became one […]
