Gabriel García Marquéz sigue entendiéndonos mejor que nadie. Han pasado casi 60 años desde el lanzamiento de uno de los libros más icónicos en Latinoamérica: un premio nobel literario y sobre todo, una historia que sigue reinterpretandonos como sociedad sin importar el año en el que se lea. Con impecable cinematografía, nuevos personajes y simbolismos importantes, llega la segunda temporada y…
De pronto las luces se encendieron y con ellas, una gran noche. Era viernes y en un estado casi levitativo, Elena Rose se apoderó del escenario. Un vestido largo mantequilla y sus cabellos dorados anclaron las miradas de miles de melómanos, quienes no solamente esperaban por Karol G, sino que también estaban para contemplar a la artista que por sí sola se había ganado ese espacio. 36 horas antes…
Matthew broke his zoned-out, screen-scrolling silence with an “Aww.” We sat across from each other on my new kitchen’s counter tops. He came with me to pick up the keys to my new place. My first post-college place. My place on the Silverlake/Hollywood border. My place with no furniture, and nothing in the fridge except a diet coke and a fifth of Tito’s, which we’d walked to pick up from my new…
Vanessa Chow is entering her boss era and she’s not interested in simply continuing a legacy. As the woman helping usher MR CHOW into its next chapter, Chow is carving out space for herself within one of hospitality’s most recognizable names, challenging the familiar labels that so often define women as someone’s wife, daughter, or girlfriend before they are recognized for who they are. But her…
Fire Island Pines usually gets compartmentalized as a space away from everything, and away from New York. But like the city, it’s as difficult to pin down, as inclined to wriggle from one’s grasp; its social and geographical landscape change just when anyone thinks they’ve got the lay of the land. Attendees love to compare it to a “choose your own adventure” endeavor, or a “summer camp,” and…
Fan pages can no longer be dismissed as legitimate news sources and cultural custodians, whether we like it or not. Much like the 24-hour news cycle pioneered by CNN in the 1980s, a new media pacing keeps creeping in, with general vibes of a 24-hour stan cycle . As though the cycle itself, like a stan, is the one seeking us out now, or rather setting us up to be ambushed. It can be news, spoilers,…
Charli xcx's pivot-declaring single "Rock music" was built off a single, scuzzy, thick, overpowering guitar riff. She announced, tongue-in-cheek, that she was "making rockkkkkkkkk music," devoting herself to the sensibilities of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit of the Velvet Underground (Lou Reed, John Cale, Nico.) And others were quick to agree, appointing her one of the artists "making rock…
Blu DeTiger (her real name, you can check her ID) is bold, brash and bass-addicted. Now 28, she’s been plucking the bass guitar since she was seven years old. Initially inspired by her big brother Rex, who played the drums, she fell in love with her instrument immediately, enrolling in School of Rock, where she enhanced her skillset, ending up embarking on live performances at historic venues like…
If you ever tried to gather every pop girl who's currently having a moment into one place and throw a four day long party, you'd probably end up with something called Lollapalooza. Except instead of a house party, you're in Chicago in the middle of Grant Park, surrounded by eight stages, roughly 100,000 people a day, and a pair of shoes you’ll probably never wear again. This past weekend, the…
Every few years or so, a pop track will seemingly appear out of nowhere and kind of change everything. The single will dominate public radio and personal playlists like a sonic tyrant. And the sweet melody of perfect pop craftsmanship will spread across wider culture, like a dusting of icing sugar over the internet. When Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” was released, it was probably the greatest…
