I have no idea why I even know what the America's cup is, let alone how a sailing trophy could relate to West Aus gentrification, but growing up an Australian in an American world is pretty odd sometimes I guess
Please is so good, but I'm a bit confused by the write up. Why does everyone think Wildest Moments is the best Jessie Ware song when Remember Where You Are is right there?
I was at one of those shows in 2019 where she played this, she did it as an encore after night shift and I specifically remember the lyric about walking a mile in the wrong direction getting an audible gasp from the crowd. I also remember patrolling the internet over the next few days trying to find a bootleg of it and being happy but disappointed that I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm so glad it's as good as I thought it was
Also dang, Sun June is out this week! They're great but I completely forgot about this album! Beans was right, these long rollouts are getting out of hand
The Femi and Made Kuti albums are the two parts of a double album called Legacy+ and were made with longtime Fela producer Sodi Marciszewer, if you're into hectic big horn, bass and drum lines you can't do better
I've been wondering about this as well, but I guess I kind of like it sometimes? I think it takes away from the album feeling like as big an event as possible but in this instance I'm glad I've had more time to let the songs marinate (especially Tried to Tell You)
Don't know if it qualifies as pop culture, but I do know frenemies was first used by a gossip writer to describe the relationship between USA + Soviets at the height of the Cold War. So there. That's a useless thing you know now.
Also this was the first song that got me into john prine, this is a weird collection of musicians that are individually significant to me in pretty different ways, kinda loved it even before i heard it just on that basis alone, pretty cool
