Anohni’s “Drone Bomb Me” is devastatingly catchy, and as such the perfect opener for Hopelessness, an album I have yet to fully grasp.
Listening to Standing In The Way of Control for the first time in years and damn, does it hold up well. The classic Gossip album turned 10 this week. It’s lost nothing in its urgency, or groove, or accuracy. The titular smash hit is amazing, anyway, but I had almost forgotten just how great songs …

Alabama Shakes new song “Don’t Wanna Fight” – wowza. One minute in, I’m in love and setting aside money for the new record (Sound & Color, out in April.) What a groove, what a voice. Brittany Howard is amazing.
