Tracklist: Sufjan Stevens, Kurt Vile, RiFF RAFF, Deer Tick, Bieber, Vedder, Kanye and more
>> Grigoriadis on Bieber: “He’s little Mr. Big Man, the innocent boy turned de-virginator, master swordsman at a Brazilian brothel, double-sleeve-tattooed thug, gold-chain-bedecked hood. He sees himself as Brando, McQueen, Dean. We may see something different—a costume of machismo; a slip of a boy buffed up and doffing his shirt like a South Bronx stoopie in August.”
>> You’ve got two grrrreat new music videos to watch. First up is Brooklyn band Hospitality’s faded and adorbs “I Miss Your Bones,” from this year’s excellent Trouble LP, and second, you’ve got Sufjan Stevens’ gorgeous kaleidoscope freak-out “Year of the Tiger,” from... 2001’s Enjoy Your Rabbit... ?
