Music Monday – “Hey little sister/Who’s your superman/Hey little sister/Who’s the one you want?”

I know it’s not 2020 anymore but the most “2020” thing of 2021 (so far) is that it’s a pre-Super Bowl performance by Miley Cyrus and Billy Idol that feels like the first real, tangible proof I’ve seen in nearly a year that we might get back to “normal” once vaccinations are widespread.

Elizabeth Was *Not* Ready For The Revolution

I’ve read a lot of articles and commentary about the attempted coup at the US Capitol a couple weeks ago but this might be my single most favourite thing to come out of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqIdnYxm_WM Doubly so for this remix (don’t normally link to Instagram but hard to find it on YouTube and Twitter – […]
