Can you imagine a bunch of nearly-identical young men prancing around on the court at an NBA game wearing tight, tiny shorts reading “(X City) is a Sisterhood” on their asses?

From: cory davis To: Kipp, Thomas J Subject: Curious what you think of this, TK?!? Kevin Durant sometimes doesn’t want to chuck heaves at the buzzer to protect his percentages, despite his coach’s wishes. HI . . . → Read More: Kevin Durant Too Basketball “Sabermetric” for His Own Good, By Cory Davis and Tom Kipp I’m having a bit of an identity crisis. The older I get, the more I like *some* sappy ’70s love ballads like this one. There are aspects of this recording I would surely change, given my ‘druthers (though it’s slightly less silly than the studio version), but fuck it, it’s a well-composed song.

What would you recommend for anyone who likes Weird Al? What’s out there that’s better? What’s the name of that one group that was two guys just sorta spewing . . . → Read More: Here’s the Lowdown re: Mock Rock (aka Novelty, Parody, Comedy, or Joke Rock)! By Cory Davis, Tom Kipp, Joe Mabel, Andy Cohen, Joel RL Phelps and Ched Stanisic Isaiah Thomas, former University of Washington star basketball guard and the only final-pick in the history of the NBA draft to go on to win Rookie of the Month (twice!) and whose lovely father I’ve chatted with while cheering Isaiah on together at summer-league games here in Seattle, is in grave danger of losing . . . → Read More: The Feminist Sports Fan: Isaiah Thomas, Why the Sexist Generalizations? By Cory Davis B’shoot was exhausting, not to mention rather slight in the big names/next big things department.

Then again, look at the massive rise and fall of MySpace. . . . → Read More: Beta vs. VHS, Facebook vs. Google +, and the Consequences of Corporate Format Wars in General! By Matt Crowley, Tom Kipp and Cory Davis For the purposes of this list, I will refer to one’s position on the diagram of monogamy vs. various types of non-monogamy (polyamory, open marriage, swinging, religious polygyny, etc.) as simply “relationship orientation”.

This was my second Pop Conference – I attended sparsely last year as I had work conflicts throughout the weekend, unfortunately. We saw some great speakers this year, especially (in my opinion) Robert Christgau, David Ritz, and even an exceptional grad student or two!
