Fan of MC Pipokinha; currently thinking about how the Chad Mitchell Trio foreshadow both punk rock and adult contemporary music. The people united will never be defeated. https://koganbot.substack.com https://www.youtube.com/@koganbot

MC Mr. Bim, MC Myres, DJ Ruan SG, DJ Bozo "Velho TBT" (2026) Good, spare favela funk track; has a lot more plays on SoundCloud than on YouTube – I don't know if that's a thing, different favela funk scenes having more presence on one platform than the other. soundcloud.com/djbozo_ofici...

"You will have a fair picture of the merriment when you are told that Mr. Haley, the Napoleon of the show, is perishing of thirst when a rainstorm descends on the barn and deposits a gallon of water on his head." --Andre Sennwald, "The Girl Friend," New York Times, September 28, 1935

Like Miss Jane Withers, who brought ineffable delight to us last season by demanding a machine gun for Christmas, Edith [Fellows] is nobody's lamby pie. A venomous brat, she hates people on sight and is never happier than when she is kicking her dog or going on a hunger strike Andre Sennwald 9/17/35

Spoonie Gee "I'm All Shook Up" What Teddy Riley was doing back in 1987 – beats that dance around the beat. (And of course what Spoonie Gee was doing, one of the all-time great rappers and lyricists, pings back and forth among complex and contrary emotions.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=163D...

I still get a little of that sense of wonder hearing it, though I've heard it almost to exhaustion - there's so many little bits and hooks in there!

The Elvis "We" if there ever was one, was oppositional, while Dolly's "We" was hypothetical, contingent, but not opposition: a simple refusal to believe she couldn't cross any social barrier. But contingent, can be dismantled even before it's built. "Down From Dover" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecPC...

back when lester bangs wrote “we will never again agree on anything as we agreed on elvis” he was conjuring up a tendentious “we” to wave it farewell I like elvis (and lester bangs) but dolly’s “we” is way way bigger

3600 words on O.G. rock critic Dave Marsh, who passed away on Friday — a whole lot of them by me, a whole lot of others by him, some of them with both of us yelling at each other, occasionally with Robert Christgau chiming in. Rest in Pugnaciousness, Dave.

Dave Marsh, 1950-2026

Dave Marsh and I both came of age in the Oakland County, Michigan suburbs, northwest of Detroit — Waterford Kettering, the high school he graduated from in 1968, used to regularly play sports against ...

"Perhaps the identifying hallmark of his method is its apparent absence of accent in the climaxes, which are upon the spectator like a slap in the face before he has set himself up for the blow." --Andre Sennwald "The Roxy Presents Alfred Hitchcock's New Picture, 'The 39 Steps,'" NY Times, 9/14/1935

Celebrating the start of #PPP96 playoffs w/ my '96 playlist, "He Was Dancin' With A Train (the Choo Choo Train)." I used the airport ver. of "Naked Eye" to segue from rave to rock. If you thought my Korean nom was flabbergasting, you should hear my *other* Koreans. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Taken by Photek's pretty skitter and Reece letting prettiness sidestep the skitter. Bass-D & King Matthew take a while to get to the hook and then the worm – er, the sample; want more propulsion from the underlying thud, but in several more plays this'll be lighter and better. Not ready to vote.

I think the only people I would have had earnest “who is better, Placebo or Squirrel Nut Zippers” conversations with in 1996 are all participating in this poll

Attention @levin.bsky.social. Favorite train song. Robert Johnson and Elvis Presley are strong contenders, but there are many, quite a few that I'm not immediately thinking of. Chuck Berry stuck inside of Mobile with an off-schedule train comin' two miles out.

Train no. 26, and it's not even close. What's your number one? I vote the New York Dolls' "Subway Train," which interpolates "I've Been Working On The Railroad." Sorry Deadheads.

"There began, almost at once, the business of turning Grafton into filmic atmosphere, of turning its natives into extras, its police department into bedlam and its automobiles into the back alleys where they wouldn't disturb the sound men." --uncredited, "Crisis In New England," NY Times, 1 Sep 1935
