Top 20 Albums of 2010
Again, I’ve spent way too much time on this and am still not 100% on the ordering, but I have some time to work on becoming more decisive before my opinions really become something to scrutinize. This was a great year for music, and I had the most difficulty in grading the admirably ambitious albums against the ones that were a little more immediately enjoyable. If I was going to go off...

Top 30 Singles of 2010
I first started my list in November and worked on it an embarrassing amount. I still don’t know if I’m really happy with it, but it’s going to be at least a few more years before my opinion genuinely counts for something, and if I don’t post it now it’s never going to get done.
1. Jay-Z - On To The Next One 2. Local Natives - World News 3. Marina and the...

The Orientalism of Nicki Minaj This is a pretty solid analysis of some very important issues that haven’t been talked about very much, considering how much time has been spent talking about Nicki Minaj. I’ve tended to want to like Nicki more than I actually do, and the wildly inappropriate nature of the Harajuku Barbie shtick is definitely a part of it.
Looking to a Sneaker for a...

“I don’t actually understand what people mean when they describe something as...”
– Owen Pallett (eyeweekly)
Um, no. Pretentiousness is when somebody/something is trying to be something they clearly are not and it is obnoxious in how obvious it is. I don’t know how other people use that word, but that’s the way I’ve used it forever.

Offal + Four Loko Sous Vide: My Birthday Gift to... →
The chicken feet tasted like imitation grape-flavoring and lacked the initial maltiness the 4loko presented with pre-sous vide. The collagen in the feet reduced well with the 4loko, resulting in a thick, gelatinous sauce. The feet themselves melted in my mouth like grape bubblegum. I could easily have eaten more than the four tasting bites, but I wanted to save my palate.

We have read so many stories about LGBT bullying in 2010. Too many. And as the year rolls to a close, the stories are not getting any nicer or any less frequent.
This story, however, is a bit different, because it is not about a student being bullied by another student. We are heading into adult-on-youth bullying, which is an even more disturbing trend. These are the...
