Hear This! | Five Tracks to Make You Forget Fall is Here

I've started watching the television show 90210 on Netflix. And I'm hooked. While I wish I could say it's the Tori Spelling version, it's not. It's the flashy new version with the kids who are basically falling apart at The Beach Club because high school is super hard and living in gorgeous Malibu weather doesn't make life any easier.

In fairness, I figured out why I'm watching it.

Album Review | St. Vincent: Strange Mercy

PLAY: St. Vincent | "Chloe in the Afternoon"

The cover for St. Vincent's new album Strange Mercy – a milky white latex-looking sheet stretched thin over the mouth of a screaming model; possibly St. Vincent herself, the moniker of Texas native Annie Clark – dances closely to the edge of obscurity. 


However, after I finished listening to the album, I realized the image is actually quite telling of Clarke's music. It captures the sonic tension and conflict that encompasses the sound of Strange Mercy.
