Comments on: Weekend Viewing – Of Montreal ft. Solange Knowles http://www.corduroymag.com/video/weekend-viewing-of-montreal-ft-solange-knowles/ based on the idea that a corduroy jacket never goes out of style Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:44:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Astralgirl01 http://www.corduroymag.com/video/weekend-viewing-of-montreal-ft-solange-knowles/comment-page-1/#comment-4529 Astralgirl01 Sat, 14 Aug 2010 06:17:25 +0000 http://www.corduroymag.com/?p=4225#comment-4529 "Who would’ve thought that Beyonce’s little sister would grow up to be an indie rock fan? But whether it’s a marketed attempt to step out of her big sis’ shadows, or a genuine reflection of her evolving musical tastes..." What a silly statement-- just because Solange is Black, she can't like indie rock? How narrow, and way to assume that just because of skin color and stupid labels placed on marketing demographics in the music industry, Solange may not have been a fan of (indie) rock before collaborating with Of Montreal and Dirty Projectors? FYI, her father was a music industry exec, and I'm sure versed his kids in all types of music. Also, *surprise surprise* many of us Black kids out there listen to music other than hip-hop, R&B, etc. Kinda disappointed, Corduroy. “Who would’ve thought that Beyonce’s little sister would grow up to be an indie rock fan?
