It’s that time of year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbZCpOr8hW8 First up’s “Sometimes it Snows in April,” Prince’s 1986 mourning for those lost to friends, family, and lovers as a result of the AIDS epidemic, which I think had only been recently named as the cause for so many deaths. “I dreamt I travelled and found you there — in the woods on [...]
We begin the day with some pervy monks. The woman singing with them, Violet, is Sarah Brightman’s sister. Lolene’s “Rich” is kind of my personal anthem right now. Hello, credit card debt, how are youth this holiday season? :sweatdrop: Kissy Asplund’s “Fuss N Fight” is understated and lovely.

Martina Topley-Bird is fantastic at biting melancholia. I’m really bitter my CD has a scratch [...]
Joy Harjo? One brave, poetically awesome, talented, intelligent, and beautiful woman. I love her. MORE SPOKEN WORD! A poem for Nicki Minaj. Kick it retro: Black Feminism circa 1979. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzxnw0lBrLo “A Litany for Survival” by Audre Lorde And then…. more Joy!! Now to close out with an actual song. Des’ree’s “You Gotta Be…”
Damn, y’all. Sometimes you just want to bounce. Pogo’s “Mending” can make that desire work for YOU. Get infected with the beat. I ALSO don’t feel dirty yet don’t feel right! Thank you, Katy Rose, for articulating my pain. Eartha Kitt wants be evil. Been there, girl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ5VaBgXzuM In repeat news: Maluca has her mixtape for FREE on her website.
