Half of January has elapsed and we've survived. There was no collapse due to fiscal cliff, Central American apocalypse or dubstep deluge. A new year unfurls, fraught with unfulfilled resolution, sundry ratchetdom and witch-hunting Hansel & Gretel adaptations. As Candide and R. Kelly once said: It's the best of all possible worlds.
What looms in 2013? Will Kanye and Kim Kardashian's baby get a spinoff reality show or merely inspire Kanye, Big Sean and Cyhi the Prynce to make a hip-house mixtape with Full House artwork and skits? (DJ Khaled plays DJ Tanner.) Here are 10 prognostications and the local records that I'm most eager to hear.
Predictions for 2013:
1. Skrillex will become resident DJ at a revamped Circus Circus casino in Vegas (redesigned by Kanye). His show will feature a bold dubstep re-envisioning of The Da Vinci Code.
2. Frank Ocean will clean up at the Grammys, angering the band Fun. so much that they'll bum-rush the stage and rant about how they're "for the children."
3. Kreayshawn will be cast as the lead in the live-action remake of Sailor Moon.
4. Psy ended 2012 by claiming that he will never perform "Gangnam Style" again. He will end 2013 on tour with the Baha Men and the bros who sang "Macarena."
5. IDM and EDM will merge into the mega-genre and rave staple IBS.
6. Jack White will invent a fedora that can also be used as a guitar. The Black Keys will immediately adopt the new instrument.
7. Chief Keef will quit rap to launch a line of artesian molly water.
8. Nicki Minaj, Angel Haze and Azealia Banks will form a super-group called Minaj a Trois. They'll break up three minutes into their first rehearsal.
9. 2 Chainz will open up a line of salons called Killer Hair Weave.
10. Justin Bieber will hit up Flying Lotus for DMT. On Twitter.
