Friday is fun. It’s about music. There’s a playlist. There’s often other links. And clips. And things. Plus…it’s Friday! Yay just for that. We made it. (Again).
I struggle with Caroline Polachek. She’s clever clogs all right but you never feel the degree of openness and celebration required for great pop music. She’s a small tent. Billy Eilish is both weirder and much bigger. I’m afraid to say the Harry Styles record is excellent, although like Taylor I don’t know whether I need it in my life. Just more banging tunes with warm and witty offhand lyrics, sigh.
My 13 year old daughter is obsessed with Taylor Swift so I’ve heard it all now. She’s clearly a pretty talented songwriter (at least in collaboration), and it’s nice that she actually has a band and plays guitar. She’s a role model to my girls as they now both learn instruments. I guess it’s nice seeing a pop star that’s not just singing along to a backing track!
