Just a reminder that you can be righteous and cool and be POTUS. Big up yourself @barackobama.bsky.social @eddievedder.bsky.social
Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · last wk.Music has always had the power to connect and inspire us. At the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, Eddie Vedder and the young people from Guitars Over Guns wrote and performed a profoundly moving song, ‘Better Believe,’ that spoke to each of them and all of us.
‘At We Feet’ from Protoje and Damien ‘Jnr Gong’ Marley went off this summer and having a listen as we sail into September brings the sun back a little. Lyrically any tune that checks chickpea & tofu curry w Pak Choi in the first verse has to be good for yr health… tidal.com/track/483404...

A legendary staple of all kinds of techno from Detroit to Amsterdam and beyond, Dutch DJ & producer Steve Rachmad is a one of a kind techno polymath. We were lucky enough to seem him at the Plex party this year. ‘Quantum Infiltrators’ is a great way to end the weekend… tidal.com/track/545662...

The resurgence of Mike D with his solo album ‘Thank You’ is one of the musical joys of the year so far. Ably assisted by his sons it’s packed full of treats and although not the same if you love the Beasties you’ll like this. We’ve opted for ‘Make it Stop’. Ironic… tidal.com/track/554261...

First heard Social Distortion in the 90s when amused by the fact the drummer was called Chuck Biscuits. Together since 1978 they’ve recorded one of the best recordings of Chris Isaak’s ‘Wicked Game’. Honed, slightly amped & sped up it’s almost how it was meant to be… tidal.com/track/498216...

Rounding off the month with a genuine blast from the past. 36 years since its release, and stripped of the intro as it's Track not Tracks of the Day, PWEI's most indie dance tune still thunders along. Listen, like, share, enjoy your bonus day off x tidal.com/track/294472...

If you've not seen the recent McCartney doc, it's well worth your time. In the period covered he seems restless, constantly wanting to push on and move away from the Beatles at a pace and having to do so in public at all times. Wild Life is a cracking collection, enjoy x tidal.com/track/997992...

And the second is chosen for three reasons: 1) the history and lyric of the song 2) Whitney's vocal is absolutely astonishing 3) The fact Dolly used the royalties to support a black neighbourhood in Nashville... Listen to I Will Always Love You on your streaming service tidal.com/track/512035...

Friday brings two covers, rarity, but for a clear reason. First up: Dolly's cover of Let It Be, with a little help from her friends, is just splendid. It's well well worth a listen. So listen. tidal.com/track/310281...

So, alighted on this for the Dolly penned tune. Brutal, brutal, lyrics and a fantastic arrangement, a tale of loss and hardship from 1969 that's nigh on perfect. She made something compelling from a subject this taboo, at the time, it's a genuine work of art. tidal.com/track/521878...

We couldn't pick a Dolly song she wrote, too hard from too many absolute gems, so we'll return to that tomorrow. Instead, here's just a favourite. Go well, Dolly, you truly were the absolute fucking best of us. tidal.com/track/545190...

Sad times with the loss of the polymath that is Dolly Parton. There are tributes all over the international network that will do better service than we ever could. There's an excellent podcast, Dolly Parton's America, that is well worth your time too. One point that does feel worth saying is this:
