"content": "\u003cp>I first heard Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers in my boyfriend’s kitchen just before high school graduation (I guess I was a late musical bloomer). I'd listened to the Ramones and the Clash and a myriad of pop punk bands in high school, but, when \u003cem>L.A.M.F.\u003c/em> hit my ears, it ignited something. It was, hands down, the coolest music I'd ever heard. And so began my devotion. Already 25 years behind, I frantically tried to learn everything I could about the birth of American punk rock. My previously attained Andy Warhol infatuation came in handy and I was able to follow a trail of breadcrumbs left by the Velvet Underground right into the seedy ‘70s. I devoured every article, book, essay (and album) on the subject and one thing was clear, I had to get to CBGBs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">On a snowy winter night, rather than going to my job as a pizza delivery driver in Pittsburgh, I decided to instead drive to CBGBs with my friend Allison. We drove through a treacherous snow storm, refusing to stop until we hit New York City. And finally there I was at the Dictators 30th reunion show at CBGBs. I'd been there, the real place where it all went down. I was there! I even used the infamous and disgusting bathroom. I had my super-fan-girl moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">And I’m not alone. CBGBs lured super fans from everywhere because, to us, the place is significant. When I heard that Hollywood was releasing a biopic of Hilly Krystal, CBGBs owner, and the early days of the club, I became apprehensive, naturally. CBGBs’ story is not a straightforward one, and we all know Hollywood’s legacy of muddy historical storytelling (I mean, remember \u003cem>The Doors\u003c/em>?). After watching the trailer, I’m even less certain that this film will accurately capture the vibe, sound, and creative energy of the time. Despite the intriguing cast (\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0403652/?ref_=tt_cl_t2\">Opie’s alive and kickin’\u003c/a>!), I fear \u003cem>CBGB\u003c/em> is just going to be \u003cem>Studio 54\u003c/em> with leather jackets, but I sure hope not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1ZNfaOpqKo]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The film’s saving grace however, may just be its soundtrack. With the release of its tracklisting last week, CBGB’s soundtrack is already being touted by critics as the bee’s knees. According to \u003cem>Spin’s\u003c/em> Marc Hogan: “In 1983, \u003cem>The Big Chill\u003c/em> soundtrack helped yuppies discover Motown. Frank Ocean surely remembers 1994's \u003cem>Forrest Gump\u003c/em> soundtrack and its Baby Boomer nostalgia. Depending on the success of the upcoming \u003cem>CBGB\u003c/em> movie, the film's soundtrack gives off the impression it might similarly define class-of-1977-style American punk rock for listeners growing up today.” He might not be wrong. \u003cem>CBGB’s\u003c/em> soundtrack is chalk full of mid to late ‘70s punk classics, from the Talking Heads and Television to The Stooges and the New York Dolls (\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/cbgb-soundtrack-features-blondie-talking-heads-velvet-underground-more-plus-lots-of-new-pics-from-the-film-20130806\">peep the full tracklisting\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They’ve created a very comprehensive compilation here for sure, but what’s most interesting to me is what’s missing from the list. No Ramones? I’m going to guess that is a licensing issue. A 2013 version of a Blondie classic? C’mon! It’s probably still good, but it’s just not the same as the '70s version, y’know, the one we want to hear. And where are all the bands Jayne County sang about in “\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcIUsBf99E8\">Max’s Kansas City\u003c/a>”? Something is missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Yes, CBGBs is synonymous with PUNK, but you may be surprised at the sound of some of the original bands that graced the CBGB stage. See, back then “punk” had yet to be rigidly defined, and the bands that frequented CBGBs and other New York rock 'n' roll haunts may not align with your ideal of punk and that’s ok. The point is, none of these bands sounded like what was dominating the airwaves at the time.

I'd listened to the Ramones and the Clash and a myriad of pop punk bands in high school, but, when \u003cem>L.A.M.F.\u003c/em> hit my ears, it ignited something. It was, hands down, the coolest music I'd ever heard. And so began my devotion. Already 25 years behind, I frantically tried to learn everything I could about the birth of American punk rock. My previously attained Andy Warhol infatuation came in handy and I was able to follow a trail of breadcrumbs left by the Velvet Underground right into the seedy ‘70s. I devoured every article, book, essay (and album) on the subject and one thing was clear, I had to get to CBGBs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">On a snowy winter night, rather than going to my job as a pizza delivery driver in Pittsburgh, I decided to instead drive to CBGBs with my friend Allison. We drove through a treacherous snow storm, refusing to stop until we hit New York City. And finally there I was at the Dictators 30th reunion show at CBGBs. I'd been there, the real place where it all went down. I was there! I even used the infamous and disgusting bathroom. I had my super-fan-girl moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">And I’m not alone. CBGBs lured super fans from everywhere because, to us, the place is significant. When I heard that Hollywood was releasing a biopic of Hilly Krystal, CBGBs owner, and the early days of the club, I became apprehensive, naturally. CBGBs’ story is not a straightforward one, and we all know Hollywood’s legacy of muddy historical storytelling (I mean, remember \u003cem>The Doors\u003c/em>?). After watching the trailer, I’m even less certain that this film will accurately capture the vibe, sound, and creative energy of the time. Despite the intriguing cast (\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0403652/?ref_=tt_cl_t2\">Opie’s alive and kickin’\u003c/a>!), I fear \u003cem>CBGB\u003c/em> is just going to be \u003cem>Studio 54\u003c/em> with leather jackets, but I sure hope not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/O1ZNfaOpqKo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/O1ZNfaOpqKo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The film’s saving grace however, may just be its soundtrack. With the release of its tracklisting last week, CBGB’s soundtrack is already being touted by critics as the bee’s knees. According to \u003cem>Spin’s\u003c/em> Marc Hogan: “In 1983, \u003cem>The Big Chill\u003c/em> soundtrack helped yuppies discover Motown. Frank Ocean surely remembers 1994's \u003cem>Forrest Gump\u003c/em> soundtrack and its Baby Boomer nostalgia. Depending on the success of the upcoming \u003cem>CBGB\u003c/em> movie, the film's soundtrack gives off the impression it might similarly define class-of-1977-style American punk rock for listeners growing up today.” He might not be wrong. \u003cem>CBGB’s\u003c/em> soundtrack is chalk full of mid to late ‘70s punk classics, from the Talking Heads and Television to The Stooges and the New York Dolls (\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/cbgb-soundtrack-features-blondie-talking-heads-velvet-underground-more-plus-lots-of-new-pics-from-the-film-20130806\">peep the full tracklisting\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They’ve created a very comprehensive compilation here for sure, but what’s most interesting to me is what’s missing from the list. No Ramones? I’m going to guess that is a licensing issue. A 2013 version of a Blondie classic? C’mon! It’s probably still good, but it’s just not the same as the '70s version, y’know, the one we want to hear. And where are all the bands Jayne County sang about in “\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcIUsBf99E8\">Max’s Kansas City\u003c/a>”? Something is missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The pop music landscape was divided, a civil war between Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync fans. The rivalry usually took the innocuous form of adolescents gloating or crying over which band snatched the #1 spot on MTV's daily music video countdown \u003cem>TRL\u003c/em>. Seems downright cute when compared to the current state of \u003ca href=\"http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stan\">stan\u003c/a> wars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the emergence of social media platforms like Twitter that make online bullying so much easier than the random forums of yore, the \u003cem>West Side Story\u003c/em>-esque turf wars have become increasingly troublesome. This week, both Katy Perry and Lady Gaga released highly-anticipated singles from their upcoming projects (\"\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9SeJIgWRPk\">Roar\u003c/a>\" and \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bHhpufKRjs\">Applause\u003c/a>,\" respectively). Some of Katy Perry's \"Katy Cats\" think Lady Gaga pushed up her single's release to stop Katy Perry's momentum, while Gaga's \"Little Monsters\" think Katy Perry isn't even in Gaga's league. Things got heated enough for Gaga to play referee, telling her legion of fans: \"don't fight with katy's fans, or anyone. STOP THE DRAMA. START THE MUSIC. pop music is fun, and these 'wars' are not at all what I'm about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://i.imgur.com/RQuU0.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"170\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this phenomenon isn't an isolated incident between these two camps; feud culture extends to most fan bases that are centered around a female figure. Madonna vs. Gaga. Mariah vs. Nicki Minaj. Miley vs. Selena Gomez. Beyonce vs. Rihanna. Britney vs. Christina. Are you sensing a pattern here? Pitting women against women isn't a new concept, but that doesn't make it any less troubling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past few months, Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake have been competing for the Song of the Summer 2013 crown with similar aesthetics and \u003ca href=\"http://www.take40.com/news/40928/watch:-justin-timberlake's-'tunnel-vision'-explicit-video-copying-robin-thicke's-blurred-lines-\">nearly\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.take40.com/news/40928/watch:-justin-timberlake's-'tunnel-vision'-explicit-video-copying-robin-thicke's-blurred-lines-\"> identical music videos\u003c/a> in which naked women dance for them (that's an issue for another article). But any disagreements surrounding these two male artists stays focused on the music itself, while anything to do with female singers devolves into intensely personal attacks, too often on the performers' physical appearances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright\" src=\"http://cdn02.cdnwp.celebuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/30/Lady-Gaga-Katy-Perry-Fan-Wars-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"155\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Considering that fans of Katy Perry, Gaga, and most female singers are, for the most part, women, why is there this ruthlessness in elevating one queen by beating down all the others? The answer can be found in any corner of our popular culture. Take television, for instance: The \u003cem>Real Housewives of Wherever\u003c/em> make a living fighting their peers, with the knowledge that, if they are not sensational enough, they will be replaced with someone who is scrappier, while \u003cem>The Bad Girls Club\u003c/em> takes this a step further and trades in subtle digs at charity events for actual scratch and claw violence. \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w536Alnon24\">They're not here to make friends\u003c/a>, after all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only are women encouraged to battle with each other, but it's become so mainstream that it's now accepted as entertainment on most television channels, in the pop music world, and even finds itself in real life conversations when a girl hates \"the other woman\" instead of the man who made promises to her. All of this is a symptom of a culture in which misogyny is so pervasive that it becomes internalized and then perpetuated by the very women that it victimizes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These unfortunate realities of our society are more apparent in this digital age, in which anyone can write anything from behind a screen, often \u003ca href=\"http://www.boyculture.com/boy_culture/2013/08/lady-gaga-madonna-aids.html\">something too extreme and hateful\u003c/a> for them to actually say in the real world. There's no easy fix to this problem, but there is an easy way to make some progress: don't pollute your love of one artist with your disdain for another. If you don't like Taylor Swift or Mariah Carey or whomever, then why spend time and energy saying so? Use that time to support the artists you actually do appreciate and try to remember that there are enough people in this country saying demeaning things about women, whether they're famous or not. Do you really want to add your voice to that?\u003c/p>\n\n",

The pop music landscape was divided, a civil war between Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync fans. The rivalry usually took the innocuous form of adolescents gloating or crying over which band snatched the #1 spot on MTV's daily music video countdown \u003cem>TRL\u003c/em>. Seems downright cute when compared to the current state of \u003ca href=\"http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stan\">stan\u003c/a> wars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the emergence of social media platforms like Twitter that make online bullying so much easier than the random forums of yore, the \u003cem>West Side Story\u003c/em>-esque turf wars have become increasingly troublesome. This week, both Katy Perry and Lady Gaga released highly-anticipated singles from their upcoming projects (\"\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9SeJIgWRPk\">Roar\u003c/a>\" and \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bHhpufKRjs\">Applause\u003c/a>,\" respectively). Some of Katy Perry's \"Katy Cats\" think Lady Gaga pushed up her single's release to stop Katy Perry's momentum, while Gaga's \"Little Monsters\" think Katy Perry isn't even in Gaga's league. Things got heated enough for Gaga to play referee, telling her legion of fans: \"don't fight with katy's fans, or anyone. STOP THE DRAMA. START THE MUSIC. pop music is fun, and these 'wars' are not at all what I'm about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://i.imgur.com/RQuU0.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"170\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this phenomenon isn't an isolated incident between these two camps; feud culture extends to most fan bases that are centered around a female figure. Madonna vs. Gaga. Mariah vs. Nicki Minaj. Miley vs. Selena Gomez. Beyonce vs. Rihanna. Britney vs. Christina. Are you sensing a pattern here? Pitting women against women isn't a new concept, but that doesn't make it any less troubling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past few months, Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake have been competing for the Song of the Summer 2013 crown with similar aesthetics and \u003ca href=\"http://www.take40.com/news/40928/watch:-justin-timberlake's-'tunnel-vision'-explicit-video-copying-robin-thicke's-blurred-lines-\">nearly\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.take40.com/news/40928/watch:-justin-timberlake's-'tunnel-vision'-explicit-video-copying-robin-thicke's-blurred-lines-\"> identical music videos\u003c/a> in which naked women dance for them (that's an issue for another article). But any disagreements surrounding these two male artists stays focused on the music itself, while anything to do with female singers devolves into intensely personal attacks, too often on the performers' physical appearances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The answer can be found in any corner of our popular culture. Take television, for instance: The \u003cem>Real Housewives of Wherever\u003c/em> make a living fighting their peers, with the knowledge that, if they are not sensational enough, they will be replaced with someone who is scrappier, while \u003cem>The Bad Girls Club\u003c/em> takes this a step further and trades in subtle digs at charity events for actual scratch and claw violence. \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w536Alnon24\">They're not here to make friends\u003c/a>, after all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only are women encouraged to battle with each other, but it's become so mainstream that it's now accepted as entertainment on most television channels, in the pop music world, and even finds itself in real life conversations when a girl hates \"the other woman\" instead of the man who made promises to her. All of this is a symptom of a culture in which misogyny is so pervasive that it becomes internalized and then perpetuated by the very women that it victimizes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These unfortunate realities of our society are more apparent in this digital age, in which anyone can write anything from behind a screen, often \u003ca href=\"http://www.boyculture.com/boy_culture/2013/08/lady-gaga-madonna-aids.html\">something too extreme and hateful\u003c/a> for them to actually say in the real world. There's no easy fix to this problem, but there is an easy way to make some progress: don't pollute your love of one artist with your disdain for another. If you don't like Taylor Swift or Mariah Carey or whomever, then why spend time and energy saying so? Use that time to support the artists you actually do appreciate and try to remember that there are enough people in this country saying demeaning things about women, whether they're famous or not. Do you really want to add your voice to that?\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

You have to see your parents, you have to satisfy some weird sense of nostalgia that might mean you’re having a nervous breakdown, you have to spend hours driving around aimlessly, you have to duck out of sight at the Apple store in order to avoid seeing somebody you knew in high school, you have to bemoan the lack of everything but three different types of mustard in your parents’ fridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make this whole process a little easier, I’ve decided to put together a playlist that might reflect the experience and, I hope, help guide you through it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

That’s what Morrissey’s here for. Sometimes that’s constructive. Let’s just get this sadsack stuff out of the way. Then it’s time to face everything you’ve left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2.

Iggy taps into your Morrissey-like feelings about returning home and how weird that is and just rocks out with it. The only incongruous thing is that when back home, one doesn’t need to “Maybe call Mom on the telephone,” because she’s right there, telling you she’s worried about your weight, mishearing you, blasting cable news. Which brings me to the next segment of the playlist…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The bit that we keep coming back to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some pop songs, despite their insanely catchy hooks, fail to do this. Instead, that earth-shattering bridge is replaced with a bizarre skit or other kind of spoken interlude. The music takes a back burner for a second and the singer (and often a friend) have a little talk with each other. The listener is ripped out of the song and left to wonder, did the songwriter get lazy and give up on the bridge, were they not paid enough to write one? Did the singer have a bad day recording the track and their vocals failed them? Having a dialogue in the middle of the song (or at the beginning) is a really odd choice and has mostly been replaced by a rap cameo these days, but here are my favorites, which transcend their silliness and become iconic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9.

I also think the phrase is completely off the cuff. I think Christina says it before she is about to record the song. Like she doesn’t want anyone to watch her while she sings. Like she needs to be alone to access the emotion she needs for that kind of song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8.

Alicia plays the role of a waitress and has a one-sided phone conversation with her favorite customer, which ends up sounding like she’s leaving a really long, awkward voicemail. We can all learn what not to say to boys from this song: \"I feel kinda silly doing this / you always order the special with the hot chocolate / I always use some milk and cream for you / you always got on some fly blue suit / your cuff links is always shining all bright / oh word, that’s interesting.\" Shut up and just sing, Alicia!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6.

Like when she just whispered creepily through all of “Justify My Love.” But on this powerful ballad (when she still did ballads), she throws in everything. There is a very climactic bridge followed by a spoken word poem with echoing Madonnas crooning a call and response. It’s basically like she’s having a bedroom conversation with herself and her lover and her future lover and you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Mickey & Sylvia - \"Love Is Strange\" (1:52)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/KpEA5QGYJFQ\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Sylvia’s voice kills it when she growls “come here, lover boy” on this short and sweet interlude, but the most interesting thing about it is that you realize, despite the fact that Mickey and Sylvia are singing a duet about love, they’re not in love with each other. Mickey’s asking about Sylvia’s \u003cem>other\u003c/em> lover boys. This creates an entirely different layer of meaning to the iconic scene in \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> when Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze mime the dialogue and crawl all over the floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Brandy and Monica - \"The Boy Is Mine\" (0:25)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/nMc4H6omto8\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>There is no drama like this kind of boy drama. And no better voices to compete with each other like the '90s voices of Brandy and Monica. In fact, their singing is almost too \u003cem>even\u003c/em> and unemotional that the feud seems friendly, like perhaps they’ll call a draw. That’s why this intro is so necessary even though it was cut from the music video version. You have poor, sweet Brandy trying to talk to this seemingly random girl. And then you have Monica with her completely disinterested “uh hm” and the very confident “Oh yeah, I \u003cem>definitely\u003c/em> know his name.” We all know that Monica wins this fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Michael Jackson - “Thriller” (6:30)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/sOnqjkJTMaA\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>I will admit to a huge no-no: I don’t actually love this song. But the ghoulish graveyard narrator who overruns the last half is so weird and epic to include on a major radio hit that it brings the song (even without the video) to cinematic proportions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - “Home” (3:12)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/rjFaenf1T-Y\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Embedded in this perfect summer driving song is a sweet story of crazy, drunk love. The skit reminds us of the ways we meet each other and fall in love: tumbling out of windows, smoking cigarettes, blood, hidden moments. It’s also a quiet moment before we rock out till the end of the song, swinging our hair around and pounding our fists on the dashboard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Britney Spears - \"Oops I Did It Again\" (2:49)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/CduA0TULnow\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Brit’s infamous warble actually benefits from not having to sing a bridge. Many of her songs are plagued by awkward spoken interludes (wow, remember “Hold It Against Me”?), but this conversation between the innocent seductress and the astronaut adds an entirely new meaning to the song. The reference to \u003cem>Titanic\u003c/em> (“But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean at the end”) creates a dialogue with a larger world of pop culture and fiction, just like Britney’s love interest has created his own fictional relationship with her. She ends with, “you really shouldn’t have,” which completely drives home the whole point of the song. Despite the red jumpsuit and silver eyeshadow, Brit knows exactly what she is saying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m definitely omitting a bunch of good ones, so leave your favorites in the comments!\u003c/p>\n\n",

But the ghoulish graveyard narrator who overruns the last half is so weird and epic to include on a major radio hit that it brings the song (even without the video) to cinematic proportions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2.

The skit reminds us of the ways we meet each other and fall in love: tumbling out of windows, smoking cigarettes, blood, hidden moments. It’s also a quiet moment before we rock out till the end of the song, swinging our hair around and pounding our fists on the dashboard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

Many of her songs are plagued by awkward spoken interludes (wow, remember “Hold It Against Me”?), but this conversation between the innocent seductress and the astronaut adds an entirely new meaning to the song. The reference to \u003cem>Titanic\u003c/em> (“But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean at the end”) creates a dialogue with a larger world of pop culture and fiction, just like Britney’s love interest has created his own fictional relationship with her. She ends with, “you really shouldn’t have,” which completely drives home the whole point of the song. Despite the red jumpsuit and silver eyeshadow, Brit knows exactly what she is saying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She’s a Grammy-nominated, breakthrough musician with a smooth as silk, soulful voice, a songstress, a spoken word artist, an R&B, hip hop and jazz singer all combined into one. As she told me, “Genres are stereotypes. Music should be free of labels.” Her sound is hard to describe. She’s a mix between Sade and Lauryn Hill with a touch of Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and Radiohead. She sounds too good to be true. And, oh yes, I am addicted. Especially to \"\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/nWaqdZENlVY\">Beautiful Dreamer\u003c/a>,\" a song that reminds people, old and young, that life can be hard, but it does “get better.” Malachi was bullied as a child growing up in the Washington D.C. area. She wants her audience to take away the same message. “They need to hear, beautiful dreamers, it does get better,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Malachi is much more than simply a hot, new artist on the scene, destined for great things.

She’s a Grammy-nominated, breakthrough musician with a smooth as silk, soulful voice, a songstress, a spoken word artist, an R&B, hip hop and jazz singer all combined into one. As she told me, “Genres are stereotypes. Music should be free of labels.” Her sound is hard to describe. She’s a mix between Sade and Lauryn Hill with a touch of Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and Radiohead. She sounds too good to be true. And, oh yes, I am addicted. Especially to \"\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/nWaqdZENlVY\">Beautiful Dreamer\u003c/a>,\" a song that reminds people, old and young, that life can be hard, but it does “get better.” Malachi was bullied as a child growing up in the Washington D.C. area. She wants her audience to take away the same message. “They need to hear, beautiful dreamers, it does get better,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Malachi is much more than simply a hot, new artist on the scene, destined for great things.

New York, L.A., Las Vegas, Atlantic City and even a jaunt to \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/19/jay-z-beyonce-cuba-trip-obama_n_3467984.html\">Communist Cuba\u003c/a>. Everywhere I turn lately I see another facet of society bearing the Jay-Z brand. Turn on the radio. There’s Jay-Z. Go shopping. You’ll come across pieces from his former clothing line. Wanna catch a concert this summer? Don’t fret. He and Justin Timberlake are invading your city soon. Go to the movies and you can hear him on \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/great-gatsby-music-from-baz/id635515681\">The Great Gastby\u003c/a>\u003c/em> soundtrack.

Raised in the Macy Street Projects in Brooklyn, Shawn Carter fought his way to the top. At nine years old, Carter witnessed the murder of a close family friend. At 11, his father, whom he says he looked up to and strived to become, left him and his family behind. By the time he was 13, Carter was headed down the dangerous path of a drug dealer. He started dealing crack on local streets, often dodging bullets from gang members and other dealers in the area.

He started dealing crack on local streets, often dodging bullets from gang members and other dealers in the area.

What we do with this hour and that one is what we are doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on when you catch me, this statement, which I anxiously and existentially believe to be true, can offer either great comfort, profound horror, or something more ambiguous in the middle. It's that middle reaction where I most often find myself. I tend to become more aware and critical of how I spend my time when I return home from vacations. In those carefree weeks I'm swimming in rivers, hang gliding, cooking, gardening, walking and sitting on the porch drinking wine. I'm not distracted or stressed out. I often read for extended periods of time and have long conversations where no one checks their phone. There's no cellphone service and only dial-up Internet because I'm out in the woods (you're only looking up the most vital information in that context, I assure you). Then I return home to jobs, ubiquitous cellphones, urban angst, \u003ca href=\"http://www.fastcompany.com/3013197/unplug/how-instagram-almost-ruined-my-life?utm_source=twitter\">Instagram\u003c/a> and expensive restaurants. I start to wonder what exactly it is I'm doing with this hour and that, and if it's really how I want to spend my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/03/what-do-you-plan-to-do-with-your-one-wild-and-precious-life/photo-9/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6385\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-6385 alignleft\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/photo.png\" alt=\"photo\" width=\"363\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/photo.png 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/photo-400x600.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cold, hard data of our hours might surprise or disturb us if we think about it too closely; the quantitative illuminating the qualitative. I recently found an app called Bean. You create different pleasingly colored boxes which you label however you want and with each tap on the box the number counts up. In this way you track what is (or isn’t) important to you. It's very reminiscent of Ze Frank's jellybeans above (though it doesn't make me tear up like his video). My counter includes boxes labeled Writing, Analogue & Creation, Yoga, Days with No Social Media, Gratitude, Walk and Love (as represented by emoji hearts). Some of these are conceptual and others, obviously, aren’t. Occasionally I will look at the lagging Analogue & Creation count and hurriedly tape pictures of volcanoes in my journal, sketch spirals around them and write something secret in my own handwriting.

What we do with this hour and that one is what we are doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on when you catch me, this statement, which I anxiously and existentially believe to be true, can offer either great comfort, profound horror, or something more ambiguous in the middle. It's that middle reaction where I most often find myself. I tend to become more aware and critical of how I spend my time when I return home from vacations. In those carefree weeks I'm swimming in rivers, hang gliding, cooking, gardening, walking and sitting on the porch drinking wine. I'm not distracted or stressed out. I often read for extended periods of time and have long conversations where no one checks their phone. There's no cellphone service and only dial-up Internet because I'm out in the woods (you're only looking up the most vital information in that context, I assure you). Then I return home to jobs, ubiquitous cellphones, urban angst, \u003ca href=\"http://www.fastcompany.com/3013197/unplug/how-instagram-almost-ruined-my-life?utm_source=twitter\">Instagram\u003c/a> and expensive restaurants.

I recently found an app called Bean. You create different pleasingly colored boxes which you label however you want and with each tap on the box the number counts up. In this way you track what is (or isn’t) important to you. It's very reminiscent of Ze Frank's jellybeans above (though it doesn't make me tear up like his video). My counter includes boxes labeled Writing, Analogue & Creation, Yoga, Days with No Social Media, Gratitude, Walk and Love (as represented by emoji hearts). Some of these are conceptual and others, obviously, aren’t. Occasionally I will look at the lagging Analogue & Creation count and hurriedly tape pictures of volcanoes in my journal, sketch spirals around them and write something secret in my own handwriting. I can't argue with my data; these things, however big or small have comprised this amount of my time. I've gone to yoga 52 times. I've taken 36 walks. I've spent 38 of my days blissfully social media free. What does it all mean? And what else should I be doing?

Museums, restaurants, theaters, historical landmarks, stunning views, and tourists all over the place, this city it the real deal. I knew all of this before I made the move from the East coast but what I was never made aware of was the hot mess smack dab in to middle of all this beauty: The Tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6331\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/?attachment_id=6331\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6331\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-6331 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/TLextreme-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A site for sore eyes\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A site for sore eyes\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Honestly, it shocked me. I’d never before seen so many people so down on their luck or without homes or mental stability or, even more shocking, selling and buying drugs in the middle of the day as conspicuously as possible. It hurt my heart, but as my time here wore on and I eventually found myself visiting the TL on the reg, I discovered it wasn’t as scary as it appears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a year of living in a Mission apartment with my friends (during their first year of marriage), I decided it was time to venture out on my own. Like many desperate shelter seekers in this fair city, I found myself signing the lease to a studio in the Tenderloin (I even have my own bathroom, guys!). My apartment is awesome. It’s spacious, sunny, comes complete with a walk-in closet and I got it for under a grand a month. This blows people’s minds (though still sounds crazy to me because I could have a whole house in Philly for that much) and most people congratulate me, until I tell them my cross streets and am immediately scoffed at. It happens literally every time. I understand why, I live in the juiciest part of the Tenderloin, certainly not for the faint of heart. But the truth of the matter is, it’s not very scary to live here. Do I see unpleasant things daily, yes, I do, and I know that’s not for everyone, but I’ve also noticed that this neighborhood offers a whole lot more than just wayward souls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6337\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/?attachment_id=6337\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6337\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-6337 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/TLDoor-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome to the Tenderloin\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Welcome to the Tenderloin\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For starters, the Tenderloin is rich in seedy and fascinating history. Yes, it’s always been home to the wild ones, the gamblers, hustlers, prostitutes and bootleggers; why mess with a good thing, right? The TL has been a residential neighborhood since shortly after the Gold Rush and boasted a bustling nightlife in the 19th century. \u003ca href=\"http://tonyquarrington.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/great-san-franciscan-characters-7-tessie-wall/\">Notorious madam Tessie Wall\u003c/a> opened her first brothel on O’Farrell Street in 1898. As with most things in SF, the entire neighborhood was destroyed by fires after the earthquake in 1906. Shortly after, the city rebuilt the Tenderloin district and constructed our now infamous single room occupancy hotels. This affordable housing helped continue to usher in new immigrants and provide a roof for young couples and single people. After the Vietnam War, the TL’s SROs served as shelter for a large number of Southeast Asian refugees. Today, we have the world’s largest collection of single room occupancy hotels, way to go SF!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6333\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/?attachment_id=6333\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6333\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-6333 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/murals-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A sunny afternoon in the Loin\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sunny afternoon in the Loin\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Before the Castro emerged as the city’s gay haven, Turk and Taylor Sts were the hot spots.

The Cadillac Hotel, built a year after the 1906 earthquake and fires, served as training ground for Mohammed Ali and was home to Jerry Garcia as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, the Grateful Dead and Creedence Clearwater Revival recorded albums at what is now \u003ca href=\"http://hydestreet.com/\">Hyde Street Studios\u003c/a>. And in the late 1950s/early 1960s, the infamous jazz club The Black Hawk (located at Hyde and Turk) played host to the likes of Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Gary Mulligan and Thelonious Monk. All of whom recorded live albums for \u003ca href=\"http://www2.concordmusicgroup.com/labels/label.php?Label_Name=fantasy\">Fantasy Records\u003c/a> at this club.

Museums, restaurants, theaters, historical landmarks, stunning views, and tourists all over the place, this city it the real deal. I knew all of this before I made the move from the East coast but what I was never made aware of was the hot mess smack dab in to middle of all this beauty: The Tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6331\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/?attachment_id=6331\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6331\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-6331 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/TLextreme-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A site for sore eyes\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A site for sore eyes\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Honestly, it shocked me. I’d never before seen so many people so down on their luck or without homes or mental stability or, even more shocking, selling and buying drugs in the middle of the day as conspicuously as possible. It hurt my heart, but as my time here wore on and I eventually found myself visiting the TL on the reg, I discovered it wasn’t as scary as it appears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a year of living in a Mission apartment with my friends (during their first year of marriage), I decided it was time to venture out on my own. Like many desperate shelter seekers in this fair city, I found myself signing the lease to a studio in the Tenderloin (I even have my own bathroom, guys!). My apartment is awesome. It’s spacious, sunny, comes complete with a walk-in closet and I got it for under a grand a month. This blows people’s minds (though still sounds crazy to me because I could have a whole house in Philly for that much) and most people congratulate me, until I tell them my cross streets and am immediately scoffed at. It happens literally every time. I understand why, I live in the juiciest part of the Tenderloin, certainly not for the faint of heart. But the truth of the matter is, it’s not very scary to live here. Do I see unpleasant things daily, yes, I do, and I know that’s not for everyone, but I’ve also noticed that this neighborhood offers a whole lot more than just wayward souls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6337\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/?attachment_id=6337\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6337\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-6337 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/TLDoor-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome to the Tenderloin\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Welcome to the Tenderloin\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For starters, the Tenderloin is rich in seedy and fascinating history. Yes, it’s always been home to the wild ones, the gamblers, hustlers, prostitutes and bootleggers; why mess with a good thing, right? The TL has been a residential neighborhood since shortly after the Gold Rush and boasted a bustling nightlife in the 19th century. \u003ca href=\"http://tonyquarrington.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/great-san-franciscan-characters-7-tessie-wall/\">Notorious madam Tessie Wall\u003c/a> opened her first brothel on O’Farrell Street in 1898. As with most things in SF, the entire neighborhood was destroyed by fires after the earthquake in 1906. Shortly after, the city rebuilt the Tenderloin district and constructed our now infamous single room occupancy hotels. This affordable housing helped continue to usher in new immigrants and provide a roof for young couples and single people. After the Vietnam War, the TL’s SROs served as shelter for a large number of Southeast Asian refugees. Today, we have the world’s largest collection of single room occupancy hotels, way to go SF!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6333\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/?attachment_id=6333\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6333\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-6333 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/murals-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A sunny afternoon in the Loin\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sunny afternoon in the Loin\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Before the Castro emerged as the city’s gay haven, Turk and Taylor Sts were the hot spots.
