As part of my #NYFF coverage at The Film Experience and as a celebration of William Greaves' centennial, I wrote about ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM. It's one of the year's most intriguing documentaries, immersive and inviting, positively intoxicating.

Miranda Lambert's new album sounds luscious, but the unity of mood and tempo results in a swirly-gooey sameness

It’s smooth sailing on Miranda Lambert's new album, a spotless approximation of late-’70s country disco with thoughtful string arrangements and an appearance from protégé Ella Langley

"Backwater" was a deserved hit, an example of a band claiming a newly offered cultural moment. The best of The Meat Puppets. Happy birthday, Curt Kirkwood. humanizingthevacuum.wordpres…

"I was the first guy to be, like, 'This is bullshit. Madonna’s an artist, and you all are just treating her as a money-grubbing slut.'"

For @pitchfork I interviewed critic/reporter Barry Walters about his book MIGHTY REAL A HISTORY of LGBTQ MUSIC, 1969-2000. We discussed Luther Vandross, Madonna, and the Pet Shop Boys ethos. pitchfork.com/thepitch/barry…

Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music, 1969-2000, is a personal and cultural history that carves a new path through the canon of queer music, from Motown to Nirvana

To be gay in 2026 is to still worry that we'd gone too far: an insouciant remark that boomerangs into my face, a gesture of solidarity misinterpreted into a muddle, an assertion of identity too much for an audience. A reflective post. wp.me/pzXeC-ll7

A wounded Stevie Wonder and a Rickie Lee Jones figuring out happiness lead this list, but I got Robert Plant's solo debut, The System, and Anne Murray's Xanaxed cover of an ebullient Beatles track. wp.me/pzXeC-ll4
My review for @pitchfork of Kehlani's eponymous fifth album. pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
Moderna Love Gets Me to the Church on Time retweeted
Steeped in modern R&B and just-behind-the-times hip-hop, Kehlani's self-titled signifies a return to the buoyancy of their debut
pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
Good album. I reviewed it.
With iconic celebrity guests and “Folded” on the tracklist, Kehlani’s self-titled new album makes a confident return to the buoyant, bassy R&B of SweetSexySavage

Songs to Remember epitomizes Scritti Politti's attempt to reconcile an art-school background, 1977-era punk ethics, and an obsession with chart pop into a musical statement

Scritti Politti needed to make Songs to Remember in ordeer to write Cupid & Psyche 85 like a doctoral student needs to write a first draft of a dissertation

Scritti Politti's long unavailable, newly reissued debut epitomizes its attempt to meld its art-school background, ’70s punk ethics, and obsession with chart pop into one grand statement
