In HateSong, we ask our favorite musicians, writers, comedians, actors, and so forth to expound on the one song they hate most in the world.

Every Friday, dozens of new records are released into the wild. Some make big splashes, and others sink almost immediately. For most music consumers, it’s almost too much information, and save for those precious few who spend their hours glued to reviews sites and release calendars, it’s hard to know what’s coming out…

Over here at The A.V. Club, we’re big fans of pushing limits, whether we’re talking about how many movies we can see in a year or how many gifs we can use on our Slack channel before someone gets annoyed and snaps. That’s why we chose to pit one of our own staffers, David Anthony, against The Lawrence Arms’ Brendan…

In the age of digital downloads and streaming, the hidden track has all but died.

Just like the summer Olympics and U.S. presidential elections, every four years the public is gifted with a brand new collection of music from Philadelphia-born electrodub wizard Santigold. Her nearly self-titled album Santogold arrived in 2008, followed by her superb sophomore release Master Of My Make Believe in…

Few celebrities exemplify the phenomenon of backlash quite like Macklemore. When The Heist was released in fall 2012, Macklemore was hailed as an indie rapper who found mainstream success without giving in to major label hierarchy, and praised for advocating for marriage equality on “Same Love.” But by January 2014,…

Early indications (and a Saturday Night Live appearance) hinted that the U.K. band’s second album, I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It, would be a gloss-funk homage to Prince, INXS, and Notorious-era Duran Duran. However, just like the group’s…

Mount Moriah is ostensibly a trio—singer Heather McEntire, guitarist Jenks Miller, and bassist Casey Toll. Although each song on the band’s third album How To Dance also features drums, and at least one other instrument, they’re all ultimately reliant on the rhythmic interplay of one voice, one bass, and one guitar. Ho…

Like his famous father, television personality Alan Thicke, Robin Thicke toiled as a songwriter before he became famous himself, dating back to the unfortunately titled Color Me Badd song “Sexual Capacity” in 1996. A slew of songwriting credits followed, including Christina Aguilera’s smash self-titled debut and…
