One of the major changes in music writing that fascinates me is how, as rock music plummeted in relevance in the 2010s, people stopped using “rock” as a catch-all term for popular music; we call that “pop” now. It isn’t just a name change. Yes, both terms are very broad; “rock history...

It’s September 28, 2022, and I’m at a Miranda Lambert concert in Las Vegas. If you asked me why, I’m not sure I’d have an answer; I know and like plenty of her songs but not strongly, and I wouldn’t say I really ever cared much about seeing her live. I’m just here on a whim. I probabl...

The drum fill before the second chorus of “Dicked Down in Dallas” is the funniest goddamn thing I’ve ever heard. It knocked me on the floor the first time I heard it and I’ve listened to the song over and over again just for that one moment. Rata-tata-rata-tatat; just amazing, I died laug...

That Michelob looks so goddamn refreshing. Filled up right to the top of the glass, condensation dripping down the side. The venue is a bar that looks like a dive but is upscale enough to attract classy clientele; there’s a lot of neon signs on the wall, and a sharply dressed man and woman are ...

The first disappointment of Doja Cat’s “Vegas” is that it has nothing to do with Las Vegas; in this song literally titled “Vegas” Doja only manages a stray mention of it. What a waste. Hip-hop in general could stand to be friendlier to Vegas, I say. (I like Vegas. I miss Vegas.) But whi...

CSNY's return was one of the most hotly awaited reunions in rock, only for the band to be utterly wrecked by the '80s.

Fuck it, I went and saw Katy Perry in Vegas. I’ve earned it. I deserve this.
In the late ‘80s, years of increased competition sent Vegas into a sharp downturn, and so began a new chapter for the city in the ‘90s: Family Vegas, the Vegas you could bring your kids to. It didn’t work ...

“Please stop playing my video,” Peter Gabriel once begged MTV, allegedly. I cannot confirm this apocryphal anecdote, but it’s a story that’s kept circulating because it’s just so plausible. This next fact is also unconfirmed, since MTV never released their data, but Peter Gabriel’s la...
