Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

Had fun making this. Starts with dub, into jazz/soul and brit funk style stuff, then onto grime/garage/modern rap and back down again through soul, jazz and dub.

Not really familiar with billy woods’ music but this was a really interesting read
Fascinating interview w/ billy woods, where the interviewer being more red than head works in the interview’s favor; lots of basic questions (that maybe most of us would be too cool for school to ask) that elicit fantastic answers. Highly recommended. jacobin.com/2025/02/bill...
billy woods: “My Music Is Radical, in Its Own Way”
Rapper billy woods is a leading figure in contemporary underground hip-hop. He spoke to Jacobin about the inspiration for his music and his left-wing politics.

I can’t stop playing this new AJ Tracey & Jorja Smith tune. Hearing two superstars do R&G must be like what Marvel readers felt like when Benedict Cumberbatch was cast as Dr Strange.

From its roots in the ‘60s to today, the genre remains a profound force for connection and expression.

Enjoying #MWE. It’s fun to just sit and listen to music, especially after a day at work. Last time I did it, rhythm felt like an important thread between the records. This time, feels like texture is becoming the important unifier. Exciting to stumble across stuff like that.

#MWE Day 1
Nick Drake — Pink Moon
Love the guitar playing on this one, sounds like a bird opening it’s wings and soaring through the sky at times. There’s a real intimacy to the music and the cover is quality. Will defo come back & dive deeper into the catalogue.

Okay here’s the #MWE List. Two weeks worth of jazz from the 50s & 60s with heavyweights like Miles, Mingus and Monk, which in my jazz journey I haven’t got round to. Some U.K. post-punk and dub with a heavy Dennis Bovell and Adrian Sherwood bent. Then, some random folk, neo soul and modern bits.
