Nubya Garcia – Source
Welcome to nibbish week!
The title track to one of my favorite albums of last year. I'm not always big into jazz, but the dub undertones on Source were irresistible.
Spandau Ballet – True
ADHD – Merkilegt
Came across this and huh.
That can't be good for your strings.
Ezra Furman – Restless Year
How have we never had an Ezra Furman song played in this joint? It's probably because his live stuff isn't nearly as good as his studio stuff. Looking around, I think this is an artist who absolutely needs the studio. But I enjoy a ton of his songs - he uses his voice in really creative, emotive ways. Plus he always seems to nail the use of the sax.
Anyway, here's a fun song with a reference to Dostoevsky, who I enjoy reading, so... enjoy!
The War on Drugs – Under the Pressure
Good time to play a Philly band, so that could mean...oh yeah MOAR WAR ON DRUGS
(A nice long one with some ambiance and some JAMZ for you, maybe by the time you finish listening some more of the PA count will be out) ("Up All Night" would've been fitting but I couldn't find a real good vid of just that one, maybe I'll try to find a good full concert and do the start/stop thing later)
Sons of Kemet – My Queen is Angela Davis
A WGOM debut. Mrs. Hayes & I saw the Sons of Kemet in the People’s Republic in October 2018. They were touring in support of their album, Your Queen is a Reptile, which was one of my favorite albums of 2018. Shabaka talks about the idea behind the name of the album & each track in a brief commentary at the end of the video.
Prince – Pop Life
Still can't get enough.
MagsWeek up next.
M83 – Midnight City
Ahhh somebody better listen to this, it's a real shame to waste this song on a Sunday
