The Monday Pop Culture Ramble
2011 was supposed to be pop’s greatest year. After all, Britney Spears delivered “Hold It Against Me,” her addictive single that has the tempo of a manic episode (albeit, a dubstep episode), only two weeks into the new year. With Gaga tweeting weekly about “the greatest album of the decade,” 2011 felt like it would be remembered as the greatest year in pop music since...

3.) Why did they let this happen? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/15/arts/15comedie.html?_r=1&ref=arts
4.) Why do I love this book so much?...
