First session of “Hacking College” by Ned Laff and @carlsonics.bsky.social book group yesterday with new academic advisors at SUNY Potsdam. So much excitement about implementing ideas into our model of student support.

February is over but I have to finish this out! Day 21 of #BlackVinyl is another disco classic. “Step II” by Sylvester was released in 1978. Happy weekend! 💃🏼🕺🏻

Day 20 of #BlackVinyl is “Still + Bright,” the latest from Amethyst Kiah, released October 2024. This Tennessee artist is also hard to classify into just one genre, but if you like folk, blues, alt country stuff, she’s a definite must-listen.

Day 19 of #BlackVinyl is the 2008 debut and self-titled album from Santigold (you may see “Santogold” but for legal reasons, she changed it). This one cannot be put into one genre box, but definitely worth a listen!

Let’s go way back for Day 16 of #BlackVinyl! “Brown Sugar” was released by jazz organist Freddie Roach (from the Boogie Down Bronx!) in 1964 and has plenty of funk!

Let’s get funky for Day 15 of #BlackVinyl! Love this one by The Meters - “Rejuvenation” came out in 1974. Maybe you don’t know this one, but these songs have sure been covered and sampled a lot!

Day 14 of #BlackVinyl is something very different: Herbie Hancock’s 11th album “Sextant” from 1973. It’s just three long tracks, full of experimental “avant-funk” sound.

Omg day 13 of #BlackVinyl - sorry it is late but bear with me - is @barteesstrange.bsky.social new one “Horror” just out last week, his third record. I am such a giant fan of Bartees - he does it all - and just got to see him in the very intimate venue of Bowery Ballroom tonight. 🖤❤️💚

Day 12 of #BlackVinyl is this classic from Missy Elliot! Released in 2002, she dedicated “Under Construction” to Aaliyah, who had died the year before.
