Boston's Prudential tower lit up in red, white, and blue because we're bombing Iran?

far prefer the Pru to tell me the Celts are playing than that we're bombing other countries

we discussed W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues" in class last week, and now my snitch-ass phone is pushing me notifications about the hockey team

the impressive choppa (scammer) code-switching is the big sell here, but I can't get over the irony that at the same time as this dembow lawsuit, dancehall drums have gravitated toward a 3-2 clave pattern (as also heard in trap and afrobeats).

"sound system culture has expanded all over the world…The result of this is hundreds & hundreds of sound systems in Jamaican molds scattered around the world - as in Brazil, w. the sound history of this culture being passed on decade after decade, preserving the trajectory & creating new memories”

gonna need some serious motivational music to get through this post-blizzard shoveling. too subjective to take requests -- I run toward Mingus and El Malo -- but wish me well.

just answered an unknown call with a local number. I know they're often spoofed but it could have been the dentist. anyway I said hello, was answered by the first two measures of Satie's Gymnopedie #1, and then they hung up on me.

maybe it was the dentist?

an egg laid by our chickens. it has a bunch of bumps around the crown, looking like one of those bizarre decorative gourds. calcium deposits, I think?

gracias por la menciΓ³n! escribΓ­ en 2012 sobre bailes como el perreo, pero mΓ‘s como un objeto de represiΓ³n racista, edadista, y patriarcal, y como un recurso cultural:

Doo-Wop Club Joints, by emynd 4 track album

this is not what you're asking for, but this just dropped and I have to share. not much doo-wop on the timeline rn. (will give some thought to more haunting ones.)
