Massive Attack, Mass Surveillance, and the Panopticon

Grumpy Young Lady ·

2025/11/03

Massive Attack dares to say something in a performance. What a beautiful thing. Surveillance via Flock cameras, Ring, AI, etc. is kinda spooky. Blob tracking, Andy Warhol, and Noah Dillon all have their hand in aestheticizing our spooky world.

Oh man Ezra Klein and Kyla Scanlon’s latest chat got me thinking about context collapse surrounding betting and how we relate to it in an economy where attention is the foundation to change.

Addison Rae went from exposure to impact

Addison by Addison Rae is here and she is here to stay. Between Diet Pepsi, Fame is a Gun, Times Like These, High Fashion, ugh all hits. But most importantly! She's crafting for longevity and we all should too.

When creation becomes compulsory driven by the prospect of profit, you’re likely closer to the product than the golden goose.

It's easier than ever to be jealous.

2025/05/13

In an age of endless content, perfected social feeds, stimulation at our fingertips and poorly evolved biology, it's easier than ever to be jealous. Or enraged. Or disaffected. You get the idea. I decided to reread the Greek myth of Pandora's box recently and oooh boy it got me thinking.

Severance, Dead Internet, and the Dehumanization of Corporate Culture I have very much enjoyed Severance season 2 and cannot help but draw parallels to today's dead internet and general class divide based on the ownership versus working class.

Lady Gaga returned when we needed her most

Grumpy Young Lady ·

2025/02/08

Lady Gaga's Abracadabra could not have come at a better time. I've been thinking a lot about how what we consume and how we absorb it directly influences how we show up in our communities. So much of the heaviness of today's climate can feel paralyzing but this song is such a beacon of acknowledged hope. I love pop music and woohoooooo I'm so so excited for Mayhem 🖤 Referenced links and videos: https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/a63631038/lady-gaga-abracadabra/

Don't quit your day job.

Grumpy Young Lady ·

2025/02/02

One of the greatest paradoxes as an artist is finding the will and way to sustain yourself all while keeping that dream alive. While I do think there's a place for manifestation and unbridled optimism when it comes to art, I see so many folks become discouraged or misguided by a belief that creation in itself will bring them immediate success. Holding a day job isn't about putting your art in the backseat, it's understanding that in order to create to your highest capacity, you have to

Matty Healy and Who Isn’t Allowed to Self Actualize

Grumpy Young Lady ·

2024/11/20

The Joshua Citarella interview of Matty Healy on the Doomscroll podcast was particularly delightful to someone who has long loved The 1975 and holds a position of resident doomer. This essay had me pondering quite a bit about who's allowed to create and enjoy art, afford basic securities, and how that relates to how we present ourselves digitally. Enjoy this little teaser and watch the full interview it is so lovely! 0:00 - I'd love it if we made it 1:57 - We're all eating each other 2:30 - Why

The Magic of Magdalena Bay

Grumpy Young Lady ·

2024/11/04

Magdalena Bay just put out their second album, Imaginal Disk following Mercurial World. These two are just starting to get some mainstream attention, but it's worth noting that they have been releasing music since 2016 and have consistently been fantastic. Some of my favorite tracks include Hysterical Us, Secrets, Turning Off the Rain, You Lose, Image, and Killing Time but it's easy to find something for everyone in their discography. I highly admire their creative persistence and homegrown

Okay Kaya recently released her latest album, "Oh My God - That's So Me" but has been making beautiful, unique work for a while now with SAP, Watch This Liquid Pour Itself, Surviving Is the New Living, and Both. With tracks like Psych Ward, The Groke, Insert Generic Name, IUD, Comic Sans, Baked Bean, In Regards to Your Tweet, and Baked Beans it's hard not to understand the magic of Okay Kaya's charm and comedy but nevertheless I'm very excited to see how she grows and develops over the next couple

Addison Rae and Camila Cabello Deserve to Defy the Odds

Grumpy Young Lady ·

2024/09/20

If you haven't completely succumbed to the magic of Addison Rae's Diet Pepsi, I guarantee you will soon. Same goes for the (in my opinion) underrated C,XOXO-- between I LUV IT, B.O.A.T, June Gloom, Godspeed, and Chanel No. 5, there are plenty of songs that have singlehandedly put Camila Cabello on the map for me. Both these artists have taken a risk and ooo wee has it paid off! Would love your thoughts. CHAPTERS:0:00 - Addison Rae’s Diet Pepsi is a gamechanger1:50 - Addison Rae’s reinvention

Remi Wolf’s Technicolor Pop Party of Pain

2024/09/05

Remi Wolf is THE funk pop lord of our generation if I do say so myself. "Big Ideas" just came out and I cannot help but succumb to the power of Cinderella, Soup, Pitiful and the rest of it! I cannot believe I neglected to talk about "Street You Live On" but wow what a banger. Lots of grooves that are pure fun but Remi's discography also has plenty of vibrant songs to make the pain of life a bit more bearable. I love to dance and also not feel alone. Woohoo!0:00 - The

Halsey just announced "The Great Impersonator" and oooh I am excited! "If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power" definitely deserves more credit than it has and so here I am.
