Let me do my best on this Thursday to give you a Class of 2012 update. I try to do this once a week, because typically there’s at least something to report. For example, this week it seems that Azealia Banks has been spending time with fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. He’s apparently become smitten with her, and it’s not hard to see why. If you’d like to watch her perform at his house, simply click this link. Additionally, Class of 2012 artist A$AP Rocky unleashed a brand new, NSFW music video for his track “Wassup”. There are some naked people in it, just be aware of that before following this YouTube link. I should probably also say something about Lana Del Rey too. She’s been on the receiving end of some serious backlash the last couple weeks, spurned primarily from her disastrous SNL performance. They can’t all be winners. The anti-LDR sentiment is growing, and her debut album “Born to Die” is out on Tuesday. I’ll have a review of it before then, so pay attention to the site the next couple days if you’re itching to learn more. Would I slam one of the artists I predicted success for this year? Ah, there’s the rub, and the hook to hopefully grab your interest. What should have your attention right now though are the songs in today’s edition of Pick Your Poison. Plenty to love here, including tracks from Ariane Moffatt, Evan Voytas, The Darcys, Grace Woodroofe, The Just Barelys, The Head and the Heart, and Yukon Blonde, to name a few.
