Music music music: I’m in a music rut again. It started at the end of the summer, my summer of female vocalists<\/a>, when I slid into the fall (which was itself very summery, anyway) on the coattails of Janelle Monae’s first record. But the weather’s changed and I’m giving the gals a rest. The problem is that I haven’t figured out what can replace them.
