Beauty hurts. Nobody understands this better than the models for “Ass Angel Perfumed Jeans,” played by Adele and Maya Rudolph in Saturday Night Live’s weirdest sketch of the week. This big-haired ’80s commercial parody asks the question: What if there was a pair of jeans that made your butt smell as good as it made your butt look? You think there’s no way this concept could possibly backfire, but as Adele explains, the “awesome industrial chemicals” scented like “cinnamon-sugar swirl” might make it hurt to pee and burn holes through furniture.

 Posted on June 10, 2024  |  5 minutes  |  1005 words  |  Aldo Pusey

There are very few main title themes worthy of being inducted into the Don’t You Dare Fast-Forward Through It canon, but HBO’s Succession has cemented its status in sonic TV history. Composed by Hollywood favorite Nicholas Britell — who’s also worked with Succession executive producer Adam McKay on Vice and The Big Short—the 90-second earworm is adored by classicists and chopped-and-screwed enthusiasts alike, and it’s easy to understand why: Britell juxtaposed a traditional piano with a looming hip-hop beat for the main sound, with distorted strings and electronics thrown in to further emphasize those contrasts.

What happens when you strike lighting right away? Any lesser band could have crumbled under the weight of 2013’s “Archie, Marry Me,” the beloved early single from the Toronto band Alvvays. Not only does it sum up the last decade of dreamy pop songs, but it is a pinnacle of the internet-filtered, nostalgic fusion of ’80s synths and ’90s guitars that continues to dominate indie music today. If John Hughes were still alive, his soundtracks would include Alvvays. [Read More]
