“Real L year for J. Cole,” remarked a friend of mine at the end of 2020. (“L. Cole,” I texted back.) Naturally, it did not matter – J. Cole’s status as one of the premier lyricists alive was completely intact when he released his next album the year after, and his underwhelming tracks...

Mutt Lange is, with Rick Rubin and Bob Rock the only others even in the conversation, probably the greatest hard rock producer who ever lived. Everything he touches sounds absolutely fantastic; every guitar crunches, every drum smashes. Back in Black alone would mark him as one of the gr...

There is basically no profit in defending “Space Jam”; trust me, I am fully aware of what a nostalgia-goggled idiot that makes me look like. For what it’s worth, I have no love for “Hook” and “Hocus Pocus,” a couple other beloved ‘90s-kid staples that I think are both pretty lousy...

I first started getting into soccer in 2010. I was not really into sports at the time; I had watched various New York teams with my dad as a kid but I had grown out of it after leaving home.

The video for “Falling in Love (Uh-Oh)” is credited to Gloria Estefan on YouTube, even though upon its release in 1986 it had been credited to the group Miami Sound Machine. In fact, all of Miami Sound Machine’s songs are now labeled that way on YouTube. It’s open to debate when the Sound...

Folks, the Biden era has begun.
I don’t think there’s a single thing funnier right now than there being a song calling for unity called “Undivided” that’s literally by a divided band. In the lead-up to the 2020 election, the country music world was awash with rumors of Florida Geo...
