pickI neglected to review this after finishing it and it‘s not fresh in my mind. This landed on my radar thanks to #AuldLangSpine from @IndoorDame
This is a biting takedown of cultural appropriation—specifically two music hipsters who use street recordings of black musicians to mashup a new/fake “old” “undiscovered” work from a black jazz musician from decades ago. Things get [spoiler — in comments].
I was a bit confused at the ending but wow!
so-soMark Murphy points out that “Billie Holiday always gave the emotional value that the songwriter had intended. That is why so many songwriters enjoy hearing her.” (Listen to: Strange Fruit & All of Me). This misses that Holiday could have been a hell of a song writer herself. The sentences she write and the phrases she turns in this autobiography show the world as it is, with a nod to it not being how it ought to be. Each line could be a song.
pickWell, this took a turn didn‘t it? A seemingly straightforward story about two music obsessed friends twists into a fever dream about cultural appropriation halfway through. Unsettling and challenging , this kept me on my toes. #24in2024
