well this is charming

i don't understand how it was possible for even a dutch magazine to do that! i haven't been able to find out what kind of magazine jackie is (ie whether dodgy racial stuff is in character for them etc).

amusingly, on the popjustice forum there are about 4 current mammoth rihanna threads on the go, filled with all conceivable minutiae about her current campaign, and yet no one has seen fit to mention this stuff yet.

idg Dutch attitudes towards people of African heritage. Not saying, of course, that every person in the Netherlands is bigoted, but this kind of thing seems to come up every year or two.

so has anyone seen the La's in their latest round of shows? Playing New York in March.

That's fantastic.

oh my god that taylor song

she is the perfect person to do a dystopia lullaby

So hilarious that if she wasn't singing and this was just The Civil Wars by themselves, the poster of this track would've been run off the pop thread by an angry mob.
