alone -squid ethics

Have you felt like you had a wonderful day with your friends and family, went out a bit and returned home tired and crushed from all day? You slowly take your clothes off and crawl into the bed “to die?”, Nah, “to be alone”…

Cedartown – Waylon Jennings

I never really give you an essay with each of my tracks – and this one’s no different. This weeks selection can pretty much do all the talking…

Faith – Bon Iver

“I should’ve known / That I shouldn’t hide / To compromise and to covet / All what’s inside / There is no design.”  Perhaps without a reference point, it’s tough to dissect the aforementioned, excerpted lyrics…

Lost and Found – Prof. Lacasse

Sometimes one idea is all it takes.

And it doesn’t need to be a big idea or even a terribly well formed one – but from the moment it comes into existence – it can change your life.

Los and Found literally grabbed me by the ear yesterday and said “write about me”…

All Talk – 3oh Black

3oh Black’s All Talk has taken the world by storm. With one of the most creative videos of 2019, a sequence from the video showing the DC rapper taking out oncoming opposition has created some of the most popular internet gifs this summer even weighing in the Popeyes vs. Chick Fil A debate.

Digee – Detour

This track is about the problems one faces in the sad puddle of drug addiction and all the mental & emotional barriers that one has to overcome to grow…

i just wanna stop – gino vannelli

Good music has no racial boundaries. A limit can’t be put on soul. The term “blue-eyed soul” was never so appropriate as when used in association with Gino Vannelli. “I Just Wanna Stop” was the chart-topping hit released from his sixth album Brother to Brother

Rebecca’s Curse – DD Allen

My father once told me to be wary of women. I laughed at him. I remember the day well. We were in his car, eating sandwiches, I was nineteen and helping him out at work. He wanted to show me the ropes of being an entrepreneur. Hence, we hung out together every day for a month. I learned the ropes of being an entrepreneur but didn’t understand a fig about what he was trying to explain about women. I wish I had listened to him more closely…

A Sunny Day Like This – Golda

Simple is hard – particularly in today’s complex and complicated world.

I was running down the credits of the tracks at the top of Spotify’s “Todays Top Hits” playlist (with its 23 million+ subscribers) and of the top 5 or 6 tracks – the average number of songwriters was around 7. Even over on Rap Caviar it averages around 3 people to write the track – let alone perform it…

JJ – T. Shan

This song is a hip hop banger with a smoldering energy. JJ stands for JiangJun (将军) and is Chinese for “commander.” T.Shan drew strength from his family’s immigrant experience and the support they’ve offered him over the years,…
