Anonymous asked: Music writing: any essentials for not being terrible at this/making a buck/doing you?
doimoveyou asked: If you're the Julianne Escobedo Shepherd who wrote that article in Spin about RuPaul, I have one word: Kudos. One of the best profiles I've read in a long time, and a well-constructed piece of journalism. Fucking amazing.
entopticonfirmation asked: I remember reading a piece you wrote once for some mag/blogcollective/idk that was a substantive + semi-historical/autobiographical look at the reasons we construct online identities & some of the pros + cons of doing so. This sounds like it could be a million pieces but i remember thinking it was a lil gem and i've lost touch with it. I ws wonderng if ya could point me to it or towards...
Anonymous asked: Hi Julianne! I was just wondering: why haven't there been any new episodes of Chittu Chattu lately? The guests were super interesting, and it was fun listening to you + Dap talking to each other.

“But as a propagandist, Hammami shined. In 2009, he started recording and posting...”
– This Spencer Ackermann interview with Omar Hammami is all kinds of amazing, but this is my absolute favorite part: a fucking JIHADIST disowning his bad raps by using the rapper equivalent of “my twitter was hacked.”

– This one’s my favorite, though. Also and my friend OJ who tweeted: “#SpringBreakers is what Tarantino would make if he was a Lit major heavily into poetry dabbled in drugs but was really boring.” Also, this movie has race ISSSSHhUUUUEEES. I will write an essay when I am done with a...

“Korine must have told them if they did Spring Breakers they’d be sticking it to...”
– David Edelstein on the paedo midlife crisis that is Spring Breakers. The upskirt shots were the least of its problems though, grodily enough.

Anonymous asked: That piece on noisey about music critics of color (well at least that's what the main focus ended up being) was silly. But, to be honest, I actually wish I knew about more good music critics (specifically rap critics) of color. I know they exist but I've barely heard of any within the group of critics I follow. You, Craig SJ, and Rembert Browne are holding it down but I'm sure there...

I don’t know if he ever was? I guess the answer to that question is I don’t know. Was he? Haha. If he was, apologies for non full disclosure, I have like -.05% of knowledge about Greedhead goings-on, other than what is tweeted by Hima. They def have like, India-Pakistan solidarity, so maybe. Zeb is my friend tho, I have known him since 2008. This song was put out on Mad Decent...

WatchBOMBAY BOOTY CALL 2. Zeb went Madchester on yo ass, slinging sex and good vibes, you know how he do. His happiest Monday is post-3 AM. Definitely one of my more attractive friends tho (cough). All the Daniel Palillo clothes in this shit are hot too, it’s like a catalogue of wacky Brit streetwear labels I spend too much money importing. Crucial cuteness #trapistan
