G5: The Dream of the 90s
1. I’m a bit late on Portlandia. I like the show, particularly that they’re eager to play with the medium of their show and try different approaches, though it doesn’t always work for me. The opening musical number “Dream of the 90s,” however, is a jam. Where’s the full length release? I’ve been humming this track for weeks now. Considering the chops of both leads, let’s hope they continue to integrate music into their comedy.
2. Our amigos The Knocks were featured in The Guardian’s listicle of ten of the “next generation of producers.” The write-up is a bit backhandedly complimentary, but still, it’s great to see them getting some deserved attention.
3. The always hilarious Lil B talks to Pitchfork about beat selection and the cooking dance (warning: video autoplay).
4. Nylon has a short interview with Walk the Moon about “Anna Sun.”
5. Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” video in 12 words: too many ideas, all nonsensical; nice bum; placenta globes; Madonna homage, kinda NSFW.
