so-soJeff Tweedy is a great musician, lyricist, and interview. He‘s no stranger to a good quote. This book is full of them.
Yet it‘s just okay. Some of these songs mean nothing to me; others I‘m in lock step with Tweedy, but for different reasons. Isn‘t that the point though? Don‘t we ALL have our own world within songs?

I watched Coffee & Cults deep dive video on JLo & Diddy this last week, & I can not believe this is not more known. They built JLo's entire music career around stealing other artist's songs, samples & vocals(allegedly). I had always thought it was weird that she didn't sing in the Selena biopic, never sounded the same in any of her songs & was autotuned so much, now I know why. No wonder Mariah called her out so much.
pickLike a Wilco song this just washed over me in the best of ways. I‘m not at the point of writing a song, but could relate his feelings and ideas to my other creative practices! And he is so right when he says every one of us should experience creating something.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dahlin', if you only knew- Always been a Mariah fan and I enjoyed the insight into her growing up and how she got started in the industry. She a beautiful writer and the memoir is full of prose and metaphors ❤️ if you are a fan I recommend. Many recording studio pages with a ton of name drops if you are into that. But loved reading where her inspiration came from for the songs she wrote!
This is an update on a post on #tuesdaytunes post a couple of weeks ago, The local member supported radio station has completed their countdown of the top 909 albums. The initial 899 would be represented by 1 song, but the final top 10 they played last week in their entirety. I caught a little bit while at work but I just looked at the site & found the graphic breakdown on their site fascinating: (CONT)
Book 116 of the year. This was a fascinating book about Korea, Seoul and the explosion of K-Pop.

This song is the opposite of uninspiring. If you haven't seen Ms. Franklin perform it in honor of Carole King at the Kennedy Center Honors, it's worth a look.
