The Harvard Crimson reviews the Saturday performances at Boston Calling 2016.
Boston Calling 2016: Robyn
There’s nothing quite like that moment at a concert when you hear the first notes of a song you know by heart, and you start to sing along. In her headlining set at Boston Calling, however, Robyn did not afford her fans many of these moments.
Boston Calling 2016: Friday and Saturday
Boston Calling is clearly at a crucial juncture in its growth.
Boston Calling 2016: Sufjan Stevens
Sufjan Stevens’s set at Boston Calling on Friday was an elaborate exercise in risk, but all elements came together to create a ridiculous, high-energy romp and the highlight of the weekend’s offerings.
Broad City: "Jews on a Plane"
Abbi and Ilana’s plane flight feels more like the imaginings of someone who has never flown than a real adult experience.

'The Life Of Pablo': A Gift from a Prodigious Artist
No one less skilled than West could be simultaneously so consummate a megalomaniac and so revered an artist. “The Life of Pablo,” despite its somewhat plagued release, only further establishes West’s resistance to criticism. “Pablo” is a gift, and one shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Like West himself, “The Life of Pablo” is a smorgasbord of discrete elements that, incomprehensibly, integrate to make something worthy of praise.
