Popping culture: The Music Edition

This edition of Popping Culture has a decidedly queer musical bent, both obvious and less so.

First, let’s start with the obvious: Big Dipper.

The Chicago emcee has put out a new mixtape, which is available free on his website. Dubbed ThickLife, its 12 tracks include “Addickted” and the recent single, “Dick Hang Low.” Check it out.

NME has named what they believe to be the greatest album of all time. Drum roll, please:

Mister Moz must be so pleased. Or doesn’t really care. Who can tell with him.

And finally, an interview with Kurt Cobain, done by Jon Savage and animated for the Blank on Blank series. Cobain talks about how he thought he might be gay as a young kid growing up.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
