Our writers have been hard at work! First, with some reactions to the Grammys:
- Katherine St. Asaph, for Pitchfork: “The nice, and odd, thing about these loose, lackadaisical, sure-why-not Grammys is that things that should not work, did..”
- Joshua Minsoo Kim, for Uproxx: “Despite 2018’s ‘great’ year for Asian representation, we’re still far from where we need to be, where we should be.“
- Thomas Inskeep, for Rock ‘n’ Roll Globe: “They livestream it these days, and because apparently NARAS hates America, this year the ceremony was hosted by Shaggy.“
But wait, there’s more!
- Sabina Tang has started a TinyLetter about matters political, personal, and cultural.
- Alfred Soto ranked modern rock hits from 1991 and 1992 on his blog, Humanizing the Vacuum.
- For Exclaim, Anthony Easton reviewed Markus Sommer’s True Sounds of the West, calling Sommer “a brilliant bullshit artist.”
- For K-pop Comment, Micha Cavaseno reviewed WJSN’s “La La Love,” NeonPunch’s “Tic Toc,” and Roh Taehyun’s “biRTHday,” while Ryo Miyauchi reviewed GFriend’s Time for Us album.
