Breaking It Up

Last year someone simply told the world that The Pigeon Detectives were famous and we collectively shrugged in acceptance. Now they get blowjobs off models. What a ploy. Lykke Li is surrounded by a similar phenomenon. Some invisible power is quietly telling us all she’s wonderful. It’s probably true. Sounding like a human Madonna as she hiccups her way through ‘Breaking It Up’, we feel all resistance vanish. Isn’t she lovely? Obey. Obey.

That power is not invisible, it has an office, it's called Warner Music. You actually might know some people that work there...
