Finding Yeezus
If you’re anything like me, it’s downright comical to listen to anything but Yeezus this week. Though just ten songs long, totaling about 40 minutes, the album has a high replay value, because, well, it’s incredible. But I’m not here to talk about that. There are numerous Yeezus think-pieces out there written… [Read More]

Clearly, that’s a mistake. In the gray… [Read More]
