Ask your doctor if Bluesky and/or a vasectomy is right for you

No, it's Zal Sissokho though I was confused for a second when you asked this lol

anyway, love this song -- similar concept to "Try Again"

Nigerian pop definitely became a weird blind spot as I was putting together my list — so much politely shunted off to HMs. Find myself drawn to championing idiosyncratic voices amidst what I often refer to as glassy beauty (my fave Naija pop star is Zinoleesky but he didn’t make my list)

look upon my works and despair

I only ask that eventually someone super famous shares my newsletter, which I will only charge for if I ever (shudder) start a podcast

Not my #1 (Monaleo) but my rec is Titanic’s “Hagen”

I think the white album is the only remix that didn’t sound to me like watching a film in 48fps

*funk to amapiano *portal* is what I think I meant there. The album is “I’m Only Tweentyone”

I think peak uncool in the states that I remember was in the 90s used for political campaigns, but this was pretty short lived iirc

Will look into this

can't tell which is which! I was just streaming it, will probably return to a few songs but the whole album has proven a bit much

"Doorknob art" is a huge problem in Cinematic Content Blob land (lots of film and nearly all narrative television), is less of a live issue in music where production democratization has also supercharged craft in many ways.

I once developed a tongue in cheek theory of "doorknob art" in film school when digital video cameras started getting competitive with film cameras and made everything (including a doorknob) look beautiful with very little underlying craft necessary. This isn't that, but it's making me think of it.
