I settled on a clip from the (incredible) doc Sly Lives! (watch it now on Hulu if you haven't.) I think it's the most transparent commentary I ever heard from D'Angelo; it's about Sly, but it's really about him.

My plan was to grab a whole different clip, but this one felt right.

still proud of this piece, which attempts to complicate one of the things d'angelo was (unfairly) best known for

Why D’Angelo’s ‘Untitled’ Video Is Still Uniquely Provocative, Nearly Two Decades Later

The video for Dâ€™Angeloâ€™s â€œUntitled (How Does It Feel)â€ is famously simple: a man, nude as far as the edge of the frame sitting low on his hips, singing so passionately it seems like his inspir...

yeesh KK's mock apology and little "lol this again" laugh here, if you're gonna totally disregard the concerns of the people who care about this then maybe at least try to not act so actively scornful towards them

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

Well I dunno about the rest of 'Online Relationships' but I do agree that "Be My Mistake" is a secret country song (and an essential one!) www.dontrocktheinbox.com/14-essential...

14 Essential 1975 Country Albums

'70s country is the source of plenty of current nostalgia despite being made (gulp) a half century ago. There are so many great albums that hit the 50 mark this year, though, and it only seemed right ...

I'm not sure that I recommend you listen in full to find out for yourself, but you can trust me it is not even close to the biggest rollercoaster on this album

Appreciate you suggesting — it's a great call!! I've tried to keep this series to a minimum of 10 years past but I would definitely love to find a way to talk about 2017 Charli somewhere sometime.

I legitimately wonder what would cause more gas-faces among Gen Z'ers between this album and 'Devil Without a Cause'

feels like maybe a less horn-y take on Swing Out Sister's "Breakout" or Level 42's "Something About You"? '86-'88-core.

I guess this slides Drummond down to the three then? Dunno about that but it I guess it's worth a shot against certain smallball lineups.

Adam Aaronson @adamaaronson.bsky.social · 2d

Nick Nurse seemed optimistic talking about the idea of Joel Embiid and Adem Bona playing together. He said that in those lineups, Embiid is the four and Bona is the five. Highlighted high-low passing, rebounding and rim protection as areas where that pairing can thrive.
