“Pass”
I recently unearthed this Lady Gaga EP that my co-worker Michelle left on my desk like three years ago — Post-It note intact! She told me she was seeing the then-obscure Gaga that night and I should check her out, and I was like, “She sounds sort of bad. Pass.” Oops.

I’m Like So What I’m Blogging About an Interview Magazine Article
It would be weird if I wrote about an Interview magazine story on Paper (my employer)’s website, so I will do it here. Will Oldham interviewed R. Kelly for their most recent man-themed issue, and the result is sort of amazing. I especially like the first part of the interview that totally doesn’t have to do with anything, and Oldham’s description of 30 Rock as a show “that takes place in all these hallways.”
WILL OLDHAM: Do you watch 30 Rock?
R. KELLY: No. What’s that?
OLDHAM: It’s a television show, a comedy, that takes place in all of these hallways. It’s pretty funny. It’s, like, a good sitcom. It’s got Alec Baldwin. You know Alec Baldwin?
KELLY: Alec Baldwin? Yeah! Don’t he have a brother and they all kind of look alike?
OLDHAM: They’re, like, four brothers.
KELLY: Steve Baldwin …
OLDHAM: Yeah, exactly. [laughs] So I wanted to start by talking about how you work…
Funny!

This song, “Truth,” by Alex Ebert, off his new album Alexander, starts off sounding a little bit like a lost track from Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest but soon transitions to something toe-tappingly beautiful, and very much all his own.
His song “Million Years” is also pretty fabulous. He recently talked about the inspiration behind it: “I suddenly felt this feeling in my chest, and it wasn’t just my chest, it was my brain, it was everywhere. I hadn’t experienced that in a long time or known it in a long time or ever. So, you know, a million years was just a round number to explain the feeling of sort of experiencing something that feels very distant, yet so familiar.”
