If you’re reading this post, it’s too late. You’ve officially lost your opportunity to have your name tattooed on electro pop soul singer Esthero‘s ass.

Sorry.

To find out why you’ve lost this glorious opportunity you’ll have to check out the story Sarah wrote about Esthero’s ass for Spinner.

I happened to walk into the room during Sarah’s interview with her and the pair were clearly getting on like seven year old besties. So I’m sure you’ll be hearing more about Esthero’s ass and potentially other stuff in the future.

My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.

This one features some talk about one of the greatest songs ever recorded — the “Monster Mash.” Monster fucking Mash. It’s the best. Seriously. Also, Leon Theremin, the guy responsible for the spook-noise machine the theremin, he died.

Jared Followill Talks Smoke & Jackal And Kings Of Leon

Smoke & Jackal

Smoke & Jackal

The kids apparently really like that Kings of Leon band, so I guess it’s kinda sorta news that one of them told me they’ve officially started working on songs for their next album.

Mostly, though, I talked to the King in question Jared Followill about his other band, the drinking-based side-project Smoke & Jackal.

Everything You Need To Know About Tegan And Sara’s Sweatpants

Tegan And Sara

Tegan And Sara

Because music journalism is serious business, I recently spoke to Sara Quin of Tegan And Sara about the U.S. election, gay rights and women’s right.

That wasn’t the only super-serious topic we discussed, however. There was one other vitally important issue we addressed in our conversation — sweatpants.

More specifically, the new Tegan And Sara line of official sweatpants. And whether or not you should wear them in an airport.
