Aretha Franklin – Nessun Dorma
Aretha was not just the Queen of Soul. She was a great performer and an amazing individual. She will be missed.

Father John Misty – Please Don’t Die
Happy New FJM Album Day!
...also some other guy is dropping an album today, I think, and that guy's clearly much more bashable so let's all agree to bash him and leave my dear Father alone, OK!

R.E.M. – Nightswimming
Not sure how this song hasn't ended up on the mix before. Definitely quintessential summer stuff.
Sir Mix-A-Lot – Baby Got Back
A truly important moment in American history, every bit as important as VE Day yesterday: "Baby Got Back" was released 25 years ago.

Count Basie & His Orchestra – April In Paris
Here's a good song to make an entrance to at work today.
1965
Os Mutantes – Caminhante Noturno
No major incidents and the games were pretty fun to watch, I guess. Pole vaulting was cool, and that's really the only sport I pay attention to.
Next, we take Tokyo!
Shirley Bassey – Born To Lose
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
1987
Felicia van den End – Suite Modale
No one watches videos on the weekend do they? In that case, I'm going to play a couple more unusual things.
Another musical influence is all the years I spent playing the flute. Along with dance classes, playing flute taught me a ton about rhythm, phrasing, and counting.
Bloch's "Suite Modale" was a favorite piece of mine. It seems there are a lot of videos of students performing it, but this was the only live professional performance I turned up. It's Felicia van den End on flute and the Magogo chamber orchestra conducted by Micha Hamel. It's probably not my favorite performance I've ever heard of this piece, but I do like it.
The Dear Hunter – Lillian
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
