Ivana tease

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN: Are you aware of the fact that Banks’ single “Beggin’ for Thread” (Harvest) has been anointed by iHeart Media as its “On the Verge,” replacing last month’s Death From Above 1979 (now Top 10)? You are if you’ve read the latest dispatch from our own Karen Glauber, aka Ivana B. Adored; you’d also know who sang the song whose title we borrowed for the heading of this item. As a bonus, Karen/Ivana appears to be in a relatively upbeat mood—or was when she wrote this column, at any rate—making for a thoroughly pleasant read. (10/10a)
