4. (1Q2018) Stephanie Burt’s WOWEE ZOWEE series installment on Blueboy’s Unisex.”There is such a thing as a boy’s heart. But I never had one. Unisex helped me see, and name, and learn to love, what I had instead.”

8. (1Q2018) Lynn Peril’s PLANET OF PERIL series installment, “Arm Hair Shame”. “Beginning in the mid-1880s, the trendy sleeveless ball gown showed naked arms along with an expanse of back and bust. As with flapper fashions and miniskirts to come, the public was initially outraged.”

10. (1Q2018) Mimi Lipson’s WOWEE ZOWEE series installment on Royal Trux’s Thank You. “Listening to this record was like hanging out with them in their practice space. It was immersive, like a crush, and it kept me company. The songs were like a really fun friendship — like art projects and jams and bad ideas and great ideas.”
