One person who helped perpetuate this unfortunate image – particularly when it […]

Power Pop Wednesday: Liz Phair and Hermione and Women Who Rock
As a lover of early ’90s alternative rock, it’s practically illegal for me to NOT like Liz Phair.

Have a Happy, ‘Happy’ Funky Friday
The Oscar nominations were announced yesterday, and along with my annual bout of angst over having seen very few of the nominated films, I was delighted to see that Pharrell Williams’ song “Happy” from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack, made the cut as a nominee for best song.
