When the MTV Video Music Awards announced the nominees for Best New Artist, my favorite podcast Who? Weekly said it all by simply retweeting the @PopBase tweet of their names with no commentary. As a deep-fried millennial whose pop cultural consciousness-raising came pretty much directly from watching the

We are extremely back with Music Moots™, the blogseries where I ask someone to recommend me a song they like, and then I listen to the song and then write a little about it. Today we have Dan Boeckner! A Canadian indie rock legend who has played in some incredible

Much has been made of our current urban culture of line waiting. Frozen yogurt, matcha, pop-ups where you can try new beauty products, limited edition Trader Joes miniature tote bags. When I was in New York a few months ago, a street in Soho was shut down and segmented

A new premiere on I Enjoy Music (and I Enjoy Music Videos) awaits, and it rips. Walk with me... ...a while back, I interviewed the filmmaker Kyle Garrett about the video he did for Car Colors, the current musical identity of Charles Bissell of The Wrens... behind the music video:
It was 2006 and I was sixteen in Burlington, Vermont. If you needed to track me down, you could generally find me in the sale section of Urban Outfitters, looking for a $4 t-shirt that would make me feel 2% cooler than I was. I had an older sister

I find the "compilation of clips shot while going on tour" style of music video to be so poignant. Besides providing evidence of life lived in person—going to places, hanging out with people, being Outside—there's an intentionality and commitment that comes with making such
2026, we're all just here doing our best. Different countries are playing soccer. Basketball just wrapped up with great results for the Knicks. Madonna put out an amazing album, she should be very proud of herself. Meanwhile me, my finger ever on the pulse, my consciousness mind-melding
There's something magical about being in a smaller crowd where every single person in the crowd is a superfan. It's the opposite of a music festival experience, where there's a shitload of people but very little loyalty. Everyone at the Patrick Wolf show came
