Iggy Azalea Told Me War Stories From the Road....
“People try to finger me through my clothes. It’s disgusting. I used to crowd surf but I don’t anymore. Shit happens and I can’t control it but blogs will always write, ‘Iggy lets fan rub her butt like a genie lamp.’ I saw that one time and I was like, that’s not what happened. What happened is, I got violated on stage and what can you fucking do?”

I Went to Coachella Last Weekend to Get High and...
Because I have a cool boss, I went to Coachella last weekend not to review shows but to have a good time. I got home every night around 3:30 a.m. and wrote while high and exhausted — which means when I read these, it was like seeing the words for the first time. Fun experiment!
Peter Bohler took the best photos I’ve ever seen of Coachella, too. (That’s one of his above.)

In chance bathtubs I have to
peel you off me
in the form of smoke...
