I… Continue reading Song of the Week: Priest – White Wing Dove

Before Kesha’s new music emerged, I felt we were being prepared for it not to be very good, with stories about Sony rejecting the tracks she wanted to release. I was expecting something kooky and self-indulgent, a Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz situation. Actually,… Continue reading Song of the Week: Kesha – Spaceship
