All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray

Isa Sheikh | Friday, September 30, 2022

“Had I been blessed with even limited access to my own mind, there would have been no reason to write,” the writer Joan Didion said in a speech discussing the reasons and methods behind her writing. “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it

From Lana to Lorde: Why the internet hates the ‘sad girl gone glad’

Evan McKenna | Thursday, September 30, 2021

In the last decade or so, a new genre of celebrity has materialized in the realm of American pop culture — and maybe it says something about the state of our nation that this new form of fame is characterized almost exclusively by its deep, profound sadness. You know the type — a few of

‘Honey I Sure Miss You’ pays tribute to Daniel Johnston

Colleen Fischer | Friday, September 18, 2020

Nirvana’s appearance at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards was iconic for many reasons — Krist Novoselic tossing his bass on his face, Dave Grohl taunting Axl Rose and Kurt Cobain wearing a “Hi, how are you?” shirt. That last part may seem less important or relevant, but it gave Daniel Johnston the exposure he

The eternal relevance of Dylan’s mind

Colleen Fischer | Tuesday, August 18, 2020

Summer can stink of minimum wage, screaming politicians, the watchful eyes of authority in the form of parents and the constant hum of artists fighting to stay relevant in an unmerciful world. After listening to music influenced by Bob Dylan’s form, style and creativity for eight years, it was refreshing to hear new original music

Scene’s Selections: Anthems

Adrian Mark Lore, Adam Ramos, Mike Donovan and Matthew Munhall | Wednesday, October 4, 2017

In the wake of controversy surrounding many NFL players’ decision to protest racial inequality by kneeling during the national anthem, rapper Vince Staples tweeted “The national anthem don’t even slap.” The comedic response directly defies the many pundits — and President Trump himself — who’ve criticized the players for ostensibly disrespecting the anthem, and the

Scene Takes On: Lana Del Rey

Wei Lin | Monday, November 16, 2015

Lanatics, the fanbase of Lana Del Rey, are crazy, hence the name. I saw Del Rey during her Endless Summer Tour in New York City, which was one of the last performances of the Governors Ball 2015. With knowledge of where and when she was performing that night, I sat through some obscure artists and

  1) St. Vincent – “St. Vincent” St. Vincent, 32 year-old lavender-haired Annie Clark, released her self-titled fourth album this year as her cult leader, new-age rockstar persona — referenced by everyone from The New Yorker to my dad. Her robotic-performance tendencies and brassy, electronic interludes contribute to the otherworldly and dominating effect of this

‘Bored In the USA’

Matthew Munhall | Wednesday, November 12, 2014

    Father John Misty, the moniker of former Fleet Foxes member Josh Tillman, is a musical project based on a façade. The name alone suggests a Gatsby-esque act of self-reinvention. As Father John Misty, Tillman has created the charismatic persona of a bearded, drug-addled shaman. It is an identity clearly rooted in satire, but

Taylor Swift releases “first” pop album: ‘1989’

Matthew Munhall | Monday, October 27, 2014

Let’s get one thing clear: Taylor Swift has always been a pop star. Sure, Swift was first introduced to America as a curly-haired Nashville teenager who sang about Tim McGraw and slamming screen doors, but even early hits like “Teardrops On My Guitar” were pop songs at heart. By the time Kanye West interrupted her

Lana Del Rey’s ‘West Coast’ Evokes ‘Summertime Sadness’

Kevin Noonan | Monday, April 14, 2014

Sad pop-balladeer Lana Del Rey released “West Coast” yesterday, the first single from her upcoming album, “Ultraviolence.” First listen –— meh. There are some Scene writers, past and present, who would call for my head at that kind of blasphemy, but truth is an absolute defense. Look, it’s not a bad song. Like most Lana
