I really mean this is my last interview for the LOOKOUT x Red Bull Music Academy series. Here: my Q&A with vocalist Sarah Linhares (2007 participant).

bad news from the bronx

This is about a month old, so I'm sure it's been all over the internet and back. But I don't live on this planet, most of the time. Anyway, it's Bad News from the Bronx and Opening Ceremony's cute video-thing. It's fun. Keora is my absolute favourite. The girls I knew back in grade school who were on the stepping team were always the baddest. Like Nicki Minaj bad. I was always so envious, but being half-white and all, I never did have much natural rhythm and coordination. (I'm joking. That's essentialist. Having rhythm has nothing to do with being black, riiiight.) Speaking of stereotypes, I do wish that someone who shopped at Opening Ceremony actually stepped, because that would be rad. Prove me wrong.

P.S. The application deadline has been extended until April 26 and a new location will be announced April 11.
