BEST OF 2015: The Year in Lyrics

Words are pretty weird. One alone is easy to understand, almost impossible to misinterpret. But string a bunch of them together, and it gets more complicated (as well as beautiful, descriptive, romantic or hurtful). One line can make you remember a song forever, or dismiss it entirely. Out of all...

BEST OF 2015: Our Favorite Frontwomen

Lukas Keapproth/AMERICAN-STATESMAN 2015 was a great year for women in music. Specifically, for women who front a band as both a singer and guitarist. While we've reached a point where it's not totally necessary to point and shout every time we find an amazing band led by a female musician (it's...

BEST OF 2014 LADY Fronted POP Acts: Raquel's Picks

1. Jenny Lewis - "Head Underwater" One of the best tracks off of one of the year’s best albums, “Head Underwater” is a doozy of a pop song. Lewis sings conspicuously dismal lyrics (“My own mortality, I contemplated”) over a bubbly, dynamic beat (that she also produced herself), creating interesting...

BEST OF 2014 Albums: Kelly's Picks

1. Lana Del Rey – Ultraviolence I’ve been on the Lana Del Rey bandwagon ever since I heard “Dark Paradise” (we’re all just pretending that her second album, Paradise, never happened, right?). Lana delivers all of the slow-burn goodness found in Born to Die and that fans expect from a follow up. She...

Playlist: Christmas Songs That Don't Suck

Anyone who's worked in retail can tell you what a headache Christmas carols can be. You're working eight hour shifts surrounded by irate customers who forgot the meaning of holiday cheer in a rush to get presents for their shitty boyfriends and picky sisters. These people have no regard for the...

YEAR END List: Top 10 Album Covers

Let's all just agree to agree that hip hop as a genre won the album cover contest this year, okay? Much of the new heavy metal out this year bore covers that ran the gambit between overstatedly woodsy to just plain inexplicable, and pop albums favored stark, angular glamor shots and occasionally...
