Every year ’round this time @Slate’s #MusicClub is a special holiday treat & this week is the 2021 edition, hosted by the intrepid @carlzolius & joined by a cavalcade of music scribes. Below, a thread highlighting all the profound pop ponderings thus far. slate.com/tag/music-club…

2: @sashageffen on our hesitant return to live music & how Low’s new album, the #VelvetUnderground doc & a @100gecs show offered emotional breakthroughs. “A lot of the music I loved this year spoke to ways of untangling the ambivalence.” @Slate #MusicClub slate.com/culture/2021/1…
