Did White Guys Stop Singing?

Andrew Sullivan points to this important query: Why are white men singing so much less in popular music these days? I don’t know! Also, while I have you here, let me just mention that I, while late to the party, have been listening to Julia Holter’s Tragedy pretty much nonstop over the last couple of weeks. It is an amazing record, although it is probably not for everyone. There are a ton of elements that could seem gimmicky or annoying in the wrong hands, but these hands seem to do everything right. Give it a listen.
