What are you streaming tonight?

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong- whole album is great.
Neil Young- Comes A Time. I love this record. I think it was the last one of his that I can listen straight through and not have the desire to skip a track. I love Nicolette Larson's voice. I recently read that she was a good friend of Linda Ronstadt's. I will have to did and see if they ever recorded anything together.

Love John Klemmer, Touch. I have not listened to it in a few years. I’ll give it a spin. I’m listening to “The Fountain” soundtrack. Very evocative. CD ripped onto my Zen Mini.

Went on a long walk and listened to 6 episodes of the podcast Song Exploder (great podcast):

Mobb Deep - Shook Ones, Pt. IiReissue: Michael Kiwanuka - Black Man In A White World
100 Gecs - Money MachineLaura Marling - Song For Our Daughter
Tame Impala - It Might Be Time
Fka Twigs - Mirrored Heart
Nathaniel Rateliff - And It's Still Alright

They are all worth a listen, and some I like very much: Michael Kiwanuka, Tame Impala (I know this track very well), Laura Marling, and Nathaniel Rateliff. If you want to impress a teenager, if that is an important endpoint, play 100 Gecs really loud. Consider yourself warned! Hip Hop has never been a go-to genre for me, but the podcast about Shook Ones is an amazing story, and a powerful song, particularly when one of the artists tells how and why this track came to be. 

I loved the Amazon series, “Hiri/Haji”, and the soundtrack is a lot of fun. I manually made a playlist in Tidal. There are a lot of cool tunes. It’s very Quentin Tarantino-esque. 

Make that, “Giri/Haji”.
