Morning Brew – Tues. 12: Anjulie is obsessed with another girl in “Allison,” De’Borah’s new single out today
Good morning!
Shawn Ashmore says his relationship with Anna Paquin’s Rogue in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future is still up in the air. I’m hoping this means Rogue decided Ellen Page’s Kitty Pryde was more her speed.
Rachel Maddow was on The Tonight Show last night discussing unemployment in sexy blue glasses.
Canadian musician Anjulie is performing at the Dinah this year and maybe that influenced her new lesbianish video for “Allison.”
Anjulie told Spinner of the video:
“Allison” is a song I wrote about a girl’s obsession with another girl who represents fame, style, glamour and fun. It’s about pop culture and the fanatic desire people have either to become the It Girl or be friends with her. In the video, Allison is played by the amazingly captivating Lola Blanc and the matching blue and red wigs show both the playfulness and intensity of their relationship.
NPR ran a review of Tegan and Sara’s Heartthrob and said it “is the work of musicians interested in explaining, with lyrical precision arriving in billowing choruses, the small moments that make affairs of the heart both so specific and so universal. When you can convey both of those elements in a single song, you’re really doing the good work of popular music.”
Popmatters is streaming Thalia Zedek’s new album Via.
