These somewhat dubious delights aside, the place is still completely terrifying. Having finally pried the headphones away and worked through an acute case of coveting thy neighbor’s boyband-filled playlist (“Look, they even have the little-known trance remix of MmmBop!”), the only sound to be heard in the Reading Room is that of sheer productivity itself, or more specifically, the irritatingly incessant tapping of computer keyboards. Here is conclusive aural proof of the awesome industriousness of the surrounding scholars—a sound which invariably seems to increase in volume...

If the first Mississippi: The Album was cathartic and empowering, then this one only finds relief in a dull sort of violence...
...injection of international influences into his music is a testament to his broader talents as an industry innovator. P. Diddy may have “invented the remix,” but Kelly perfected it. On his album Chocolate Factory the song “Ignition” transitions seamlessly into “Ignition remix,” an unprecedented musical feat—who said that a remix should post-date some earlier song? More recently, Kelly has continued to revolutionize the remix, releasing not one but two remixes to “Thoia Thoing?...
