Opinions on this topic vary dramatically depending on who you ask, but I think meme-ification is one of the greatest honors a song can receive. Something about a song has to resonate deeply with people to prompt them to, for example, record themselves singing it in the Goofy’s voice. “Bring Me To Life,” the 2004

In Luca Guadagnino’s remake of the 1977 film “Suspiria,” a ballet studio falls into disarray as a result of supernatural forces lurking underneath its glassy surface. The movie itself is characterized by muted tones and sets that pay homage to modern architects like Adolf Loos. A soundtrack as wintry and haunting as Thom Yorke’s matches

Rock and roll may have left popular music years ago, but its influence still remains. Each year since 1986, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, located in Cleveland, inducts approximately five to seven musical artists who have influenced and developed the history of rock into the Rock Hall in the Performer category. In addition

Last week was a monumental landmark for music. The week, which Pitchfork dubbed “OK Computer Week” to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the beloved album, was received jubilantly by music fans. Equally notable however, is the number of people who didn’t notice the commemoration. For a band so revered by fans and critics alike, Radiohead’s

A Tribe Called Quest — “We got it from Here… Thank You 4 Your service” By Adrian Mark Lore Suffice it to say that 2016 was a turbulent year, both domestically and internationally. For the music industry, it was a year of sad departures — the death of legends like David Bowie and Leonard Cohen— as well

It seems that every few years — at the meeting point of society and the individual, under the duress of variables all set to serendipity — the world stumbles upon an otherwise unassuming artifact that satisfies a thirst the world did not know it had. In the mid-90s, a new generation wobbled forward on overgrown

Last week, Ryan Adams released an album-length cover of Taylor Swift’s “1989.” The alt-country singer refashioned every song from Swift’s blockbuster pop album in the style of Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska,” in the process revealing a melancholic strain in the originals. The album is maybe not as revelatory as some critics are claiming, but it’s pleasant

We are inundated with films adapted from books, from bestsellers like “Gone Girl” and “50 Shades of Grey” to the more literary end of the spectrum with new releases of Philip Roth adaptations and P.T. Anderson’s wild take on Thomas Pynchon’s “Inherent Vice.” Perhaps less noticeably, literature leaks into other kinds of media, sometimes unbeknownst

I’m raking leaves. It’s a sunny day on some Virginia hill lit up like an old Thomas Cole painting, last week on my Appalachia service trip. Mountains are in the distance, wild blue skies abound and everything. Out of the corner of my eye, I see this handsome 30-year-old dude just strollin’ on up

Thom Yorke is kind of old. It’s not so much a matter of years as it is records, concerts, interviews and general fan-worship; the man has helped craft more than his fair share of brilliant LPs and singles with and without his legendary band Radiohead. Yorke’s versatility as a songwriter and singer has allowed him
