Today’s throwback review (of Miranda Lambert’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) is well-written, but it’s an extreme case of the usual problem — by the time Sodomsky gets around to actually talking about that particular album (for a paragraph or two), it’s startling/amusing to recall that a review of that particular album is what you had clicked on.

Keep in mind: it's only been the last few years that Pitchfork's paid attention to Lambert, therefore context is more important than usual. I didn't mind it here, in large part b/c Sodomsky's one of my favorite working writers.

Mine too, but it could have just as easily been labeled a review of Kerosene!

Kerosene’s the better album

Whoever wrote the subhed for Sodomsky's Mary Chapin Carpenter review probably shouldn't have leaned so heavily on phrasing from the opening sentence.

Maybe I'm going stir crazy but for some reason this was just cracking my up yesterday: NEWSLil Uzi Vert’s Virtual Concert: Here’s What Happened
You'll never guess what happened: "Running through some of his biggest hits from a socially distanced livestream in Philadelphia... Uzi performed on under a Jumbotron and on a circular stage that flashed with a number of custom designs and animations" Sounds like a good time, hope he had fun!

"It’s Time to Take Enya Seriously"(?)
Maybe a teaser headline format like this shouldn't bug me, but it does - b/c it implies "we" haven't been taking her seriously, and my immediate response is - "That's on you, dude"

As usual, writers labor under the burden of headlines. I'll bet the writer wanted to write a long essay on Enya's continuing relevance -- which is fine! Enya deserves longform criticism (Brad reviewed her album a few years ago). Teaching adults between 18-25 prepares you for the gaps in their education. It's not a big deal.

adults between 18-25
Lately I feel like no one is an adult until 30. (40, if I'm feeling particularly uncharitable. Or until you've buried a parent.)

I don't consider anyone an adult until they're dead, and I'm dead too.

things that make you an adult imo: paying off a mortgage over 15+ years, surgery, death of a parent, colonoscopy, writing a will
