You know, I wish there was a website like YouTube but exclusively for music. I wanna watch music videos & concerts from folks past & present and then somehow get a random music rec that I end up loving the hell out of.

So a while back, I watched footage of a Linkin Park concert where they mashed up "Bleed It Out" with a bit of The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage". For some reason, I thought I'd imagined this but nope m.youtube.com/watch?v=9iuS...

The Beastie Boys live documentary was so fun to watch. They seem to have a really nice friendship & I liked how they paid tribute to Adam Yaunch a lot.

This was shared in one of my caregiver support groups & while this is informative, I wish race had been mentioned as a factor and that caregivers of color had been interviewed www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...
Older Americans want to age at home. Their kids are suffering to help them
New data shows 70% of caregivers don't want their aging parents to move in. But the financial tolls of caregiving often lead to just that.

Less a pilot, more a show that never got a full series order:
Constantine
Cancelled half way through it's first season
Matt Ryan's performance was so iconic that his character was eventually rolled into the Arrowverse AND he went on to voice Constantine in several movies/shows

One day, I wanna write and/or see something on the history of rap-rock as a music subgenre. Because it's dope how it came about and how it developed over the years.

This was a beautiful & fascinating documentary on one of my favorite music groups. Daniel Mcdaniels' story, in particular, resonated with me. He, Joseph Simmons, & Jason Mizell (rest in power) are one of the GOATs.

I’m glad they reconciled with Spinderella. They don’t crossover without the “Push It” video, those posters & single/album covers after Spin joined. Also salute Play from Kid N’ Play for designing their iconic jackets & gear, the Salt N’ Pepa logo & Kid’s role in the Idol Makers/Invincibles team
Thank you Salt, Pepa and Spinderella for style, sound, fearlessness and unrelenting greatness that has done so much with and for the culture ❤️
