Aimee Mann Announces First Solo Art Show
In 2013 my friend Tony Blinken went to work at the White House. He told me he needed art for his walls in his new office and I offered to paint him something. I was going to paint a portrait of Obama, but in a burst of some kind of superstitiousness, I didn’t want to paint a political figure I really believed in, and instead became obsessed with the idea of painting only the worst past presidents. For reference I found a list made by U.S. News & World Report. I didn’t get to everyone on the list, and recently when I started painting again. I included some First Ladies (irrespective of their quality). For the record, Tony declined to have a portrait of Millard Fillmore on his wall, and I can’t say I blame him.

Here Are the Lyrics to Lil Tjay’s ‘In My Head’
If the lyrics of Lil Tjay‘s “In My Head” are already stuck in your head, even though the song was just released this month, there’s a good reason for that. The new song interpolates Iyaz‘s 2009 Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit “Replay” — even referencing the generation-defining iPod, even though most people just listen to music through their iPhones now. Lil Tjay’s song makes its Hot 100 debut straight into the top 40 this week, at No. 33, so there’s no telling whether the song could match (or surpass) its predecessor’s No. 2 peak. Tjay previously climbed as high as No. 3 with “Calling My Phone,” featuring 6LACK. Below, find the full lyrics, including that part that feels like it’s “stuck on replay.” Shawty’s like a melody in my headThat I can’t keep out, got me singin’ likeNa-na-na-na, everyda...
