How did Wonder integrate funk+jazz+pop? How was it a chart phenom? Feel it all over.

This is so gorgeous #publiclibraries
Gresham's new East County Library is incredible! It's no branch library, but a flagship like Central Library downtown. It's credited to Portland's Holst Architecture, but the design came equally (or more) from Ghanaian-Brit starchitect David Adjaye (who was dropped before construction). WOW.

A fast machine, kept his motor clean: My new #HitParadePod on @slate.com is about superproducer “Mutt” Lange, mystery man of arena-rocking überpop. Mutt’s anthemic sound worked across genres—AC/DC to the Cars, Foreigner to Billy Ocean, Def Leppard to Shania. Let the magic man pour some sugar on you.
The Reclusive Producer Who Shook the Charts All Night Long
Mutt Lange avoided the spotlight while crafting some of the loudest, catchiest, and bestselling records of all time.

FYI, if you're someone that likes to tuck into some Christmas TV movie rom-coms this time of year, I've directed two with Asian-American casts: A SUGAR & SPICE HOLIDAY (2020) can be streamed right on Lifetime's website (US only). A BIG FAT FAMILY CHRISTMAS (2022) is on Hallmark+ or Crave in Canada.
Four Christmas movies to know me by.
I have to go with the ones I directed, in between my main specialty genres of horror and crime and supernatural strangeness. (And there are only two.)

The Story John Darnielle Lived to Tell
When he was a teenager, the Mountain Goats founder never expected to live to 21. He has since become one of this century’s best songwriters. The lessons of his survival, life, and work feel endless.

Thanks for making this readable! In this newsletter I explore the idea of songs/artists making it "if there's any justice," and what exactly creates the unfair circumstances in the pop marketplace.
