I haven't seen either movie, but I'm going to predict Riz gets an Oscar nom for this and Daniel Kaluuya gets nominated for his portrayal of Fred Hampton in 'Judas and The Black Messiah'. That would be cool.
If you haven't seen a trailer for 'Judas...", google that shit right now.
Agreed. 'Thirteen' is now just outside the top 5 most eye-roll inducing cover song choices:
Hotel California
Hallelujah
Knockin' on heaven's door
Imagine
Blackbird
That being said, this is quite lovely and I love all the artists involved.
Has anyone else listened to this Sweeping Promises album that dropped last week? Shit fucking rips. On the post-punk spectrum

Weird Fact: Christopher Nolan is colorblind
I'm not sure if that affects the visual palette of his films or not, just thought it was worth mentioning.
I agree that Nolan is a little overrated, but I definitely would not call him a hack.
I hope they do a reissue of 'It's Time For' at some point (or at least get it on streaming!). 'It's You' is one of my all time fav Richman ditties

David Berman was a genius, but it’s not like he didn’t have any cringeworthy lyrics in his catalogue. He certainly did, though he probably had a higher batting average than most
Seriously though, this blows. There aren’t too many future potential albums I was looking forward to more than a Madlib produced Black Star record. Hopefully it sees the light of day at some point. Fingers crossed
When the label head gets the price tag to clear all Madlib’s samples

It Still Moves (2003) and Z (2005) are probably your best entry points as far as studio albums, but the easiest might be to dive into the live album Okonokos (2006) which focuses on the 2 records mentioned above, and is a good example of why MMJ are the best live band of the last 20 years.
The deep dark web says The Waterfall II will be out 8/28 on ATO. I was hoping we might get that new single today....fingers crossed.
There is also talk that this is more of b-sides, tide over release and they have another new album that they finished in March that they will release and tour behind if and when Covid subsides.
