A cluster of articles that came up in life and/or the RSS reader within the span of a couple days, without my looking for them. There are no coincidences:
- Caglia on Gaga. [sigh]
- A friend was semi-outraged by the NPR review of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”. “Singing in a clear, strong voice about how exhilarating it is be clear and strong about what you want.”
- American Electra: Feminism’s ritual matricide – Harper’s Magazine. [$] The generational divide in the feminist movement(s).
- Critic’s Notebook: Lady Gaga, sexuality and 21st century pop. “Pop is where sex lives most openly in our culture, and that it’s not just a matter of surfaces, […] but of the depth and breadth of desire, frustration, satisfaction.”
