A takeaway from the new Sturgill and the Kacey single is that these country types gotta go to horny songwriting school, what even are these lyrics.

I am assigning you 5 silk shirt R&B albums and then you can try again.

He did put the album up on his own YouTube channel for a week and a half leading into the release, but took it down today.

It’s so good, I like how it touches on so many phases of their career, goes from dreamy to noisy to bouncy, sprawling full band blowouts to smaller arrangements, etc.

Shleep really is magical. It will always have a warm place in my heart because it was the first work of his that I bought

Oh interesting, I’ve never pulled on that thread, honestly probably only ever heard him on Softs.

Been listening to a lot of Robert Wyatt this week. It does soothing things to my brain, even in the cases when the sounds aren’t particularly soothing.

Well, surprisingly, my ticket sold. Thanks to those who helped spread the word on my attempt to give it away here.

I'm out of commission with a sinus infection and I know there's zero chance I'll be able to see Jeff Tweedy at the Ogden in Denver on Friday night.

I put my ticket up for sale on AXS's site, but if any bsky pals want my ticket for free, reach out.

I think there’s a lot of outraged-but-gleeful piling on because of that last part

Honestly seeing a joke about him that isn’t a another tired rehash about the monarchs is a welcome reboot of the formula

There is a synth drum breakdown section on the back half of this version that sounds somewhere in between Zappa synclavier shit and 1989 Wax Trax! drum machine industrial.

Not supposed to be on this album!

We the People Who Are Darker Than Blue (Live at The Bitter End, NYC) YouTube video by Curtis Mayfield - Topic

What in the world, β€œWe the People Who are Darker Than Blue” on Curtis/Live! on streaming services is some 80s performance with synth drums, blaring 80s sax and synths, etc.

I don’t care what you say, this was not recorded at The Bitter End in 1971 lol

88 is definitely a blind spot for me, I never knew about the Hall And Oates crossover episode

Steely Dan interview Those consummate troublemakers, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, are finally cornered, producing dangerously controversial observations on film, literature, Free Jazz, touring and the music of Steel…

They coyly admitted to it in an interview

I've never actually seen it, I've seen the Always Sunny episode that parodies it a dozen times though, ha
