Monday Mix

The best music in television and films is celebrated as awards season rears its glitzy head again. Here are our favorite tunes from films, like “Whip It” and even “Project X.”

Editors’ Picks

Music | Morgan Baskin, Culture Editor

This week’s pick: Cherub “Doses & Mimosas”

Starting the new year, it’s nice to have a self-empowerment anthem that’s not Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off.” Cherub pulls it off with spunk, sass and spirit.

Lit | Tatiana Cirisano, Assistant Culture Editor

This week’s pick: “Under the Stairs” by Angela Leighton

Listen to poet Angela Leighton read her latest piece, “Under the Stairs,” a dreamy reflection on memory, childhood and lost items published in The New Yorker last week.

Film | Jeanine Marie, Contributing Culture Editor

This week’s pick: “Selma”

The big winners at last night’s Golden Globes were “Boyhood” and “Grand Budapest Hotel,” but be sure to catch this drama in theaters, in which Martin Luther King Jr., played by the extremely talented David Oyelowo, attempts to lead a group of civil rights marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama in 1965.
