In 1966 the Rolling Stones took Tina Turner on the road in England. In 1969, they hit the states. Here’s her and Ike doing, “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” from the Gimme Shelter movie, which captures the period. But let’s be real. It’s just Tina in this clip. She melted all of them. … Continue reading Sunday Music: Tina Turner And The Stones

Sunday Music: Check Yo Self
Before the WTF Ice Cube interview got me going all Dyson-hype on you, I was cutting my lawn and listening to a few of his old albums. If I hadn’t had the urge to check my self, I probably wouldn’t have listened to the podcast. “Know what I mean, know what I mean? Wink wink, … Continue reading Sunday Music: Check Yo Self
Sunday Music: New Billy Woods, Old Aesop Rock
OK, firstly - there’s a new Billy Woods & Kenny Segal album, it’s called Maps, and on my first few listens I’m very excited to keep listening because I can feel it taking root on my brain. I like this. I’ll link to a song or two at the bottom to give you a taste. … Continue reading Sunday Music: New Billy Woods, Old Aesop Rock
Sunday Music: My Momma, She Loves Me (Happy Mother’s Day)
Oh, my mama loves me, she loves meShe get down on her knees and hug meLike she loves me like a… moo cow in a barn -(not entirely) Paul Simon You know those terrible jokes that make you and your brothers (re: siblings) laugh uncontrollably but don’t even make sense? Paul Simon’s “Loves Me Like … Continue reading Sunday Music: My Momma, She Loves Me (Happy Mother’s Day)
Sunday Music: James Taylor’s Jelly Man Kelly
I was on a podcast talking about portfolio withdrawal strategies (captivating, I know) and said I think about this topic based on “my 3 favorite Kelly’s.” John Kelly (don’t make a bet unless you know the approximate odds, and if you think you know the odds - use them to size your bet accordingly) Jelly … Continue reading Sunday Music: James Taylor’s Jelly Man Kelly
Sunday Music: Dissecting Nosetalgia (Pusha + Kendrick)
Dissect has been one of my favorite music/critical listening podcasts. In particular, I LOVE how Cole Cuchna spends as much time on literary analysis as he does on musical analysis. It reminds me of the types of conversations my friends and I had 20 years ago when we were in college, but better polished and … Continue reading Sunday Music: Dissecting Nosetalgia (Pusha + Kendrick)
Sunday Music: Lana Del Ray’s “Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”
Lana Del Ray’s like that quirky friend who you look at in a moment and think “what the hell did you just say?!” but then 3 and a half hours later you’re staring out a window before bed, going to yourself, “well that was some stuff. Damn. No seriously, damn.” The title track on her … Continue reading Sunday Music: Lana Del Ray’s “Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”
Sunday Music: You’ll Never Walk Alone
My friend Justin shared a post this week titled “Good Company > Alone.” My first reaction was to make a terrible Bad Company (the band) joke. But then I started thinking about “Alone.” About how when you have a good crowd around you, you feel like you can do anything. And about when you have … Continue reading Sunday Music: You’ll Never Walk Alone
Sunday Music: Now Why You Wanna Go And Do That Love, Huh?
You know those weird things you say to yourself all of the time? As in the things you say to your dog, or the dishes, or the anthropomorphized internet company in your mind? “Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh?” I say that - all of the time. Here’s where it’s from, … Continue reading Sunday Music: Now Why You Wanna Go And Do That Love, Huh?
Sunday Music: 100 gecs (10,000 gecs)
I don't really like the genre branding of "hyper-pop" but I get it. 100 gecs are hyper and full of pop, after all. But there's more going on here - and on the second album, we now know it wasn't just a flash in the pan. While I never wrote a dedicated 100 gecs post, … Continue reading Sunday Music: 100 gecs (10,000 gecs)
