Since forming in 2012, Girlpool — Harmony Tividad, then 18, and Cleo Tucker, 17 — have adhered to the age-old maxim that honesty is the greatest policy. Vulnerability, not technical know-how, has always been their greatest asset. The Los Angeles duo’s debut album, 2015’s “Before the World Was Big,” showcases this exceedingly well in its plain-faced lyricism, be it...

A lot of the shows on Netflix don’t exactly bring attention to themselves, which is ironic considering both how much original content Netflix creates and how fiercely they advertise it on the main page. For every “Master of None” there’s a “13 Reasons Why” or a “Richie Rich.” Never...
Love. At a glance it’s just an umbrella term for the well-recognized red or pink symbol on Valentine’s Day cards, three-quarters of your family tree, that tingly feeling that can mean anything from infatuation to paresthesia on your buttocks. Good old, all-encompassing love.
But in 1973, psychologist John Lee decided that there are six different styles of love, slapped them...
Netflix took a risk when it announced that it would be producing TV shows based on lesser-known Marvel properties such as “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones,” Luke Cage” and “Iron Fist” and that it would all lead to the street-level crime fighters to team up in “Marvel’s The Defenders.” Now, as the final bridge leading up to the ensemble team-up, “Iron...

Full disclosure: We love The Beatles. Most, if not all, of the artists mentioned on this list are directly influenced by The Beatles and thus the case can be made that The Beatles may possibly be the most influential band of all time. Their innovations and creative approach in the field of recording technology cannot be overstated enough and...
“Malibu” - Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus returned this week with “Malibu,” a song about her rekindled romance with Liam Hemsworth. “Malibu” sheds “Bangerz’”s Mike-Will-Made-It intros for California cool guitar chords. In other words, “Malibu” sounds like the pop songs indie band Real Estate have always written but the difference is Cyrus’s commitment to an infectious cheeky joy. It’s a catchy...
If I had a time machine, I would go back in time and destroy the script for “Inception” — not because I dislike the film, as I think Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors of modern cinema, and “Inception” was great. However, the film started the terrible trend of filmmakers using the “bwah” sound effect in almost...
Shakira’s eleventh LP, “El Dorado,” accomplishes a tough challenge for an artist of her stature. Being an international icon is a tough mountain to climb, with easy traps to fall into that can make records sound forced and awkward. Shakira, in an interview with Jon Pareles of the New York Times, explained her frustration after the lukewarm reception of...
Despite my deep-seated loathing of the “hype train” that is inevitable with a new installment of a popular franchise, I have to admit that I was unabashedly excited for “XCOM 2.” Bucking my typical strategy of waiting a year or so until games I’m interested in finally come down in price, I decided to skip the waiting period and...
