Stickball was a thing. We played all the time.

Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.

In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He’s the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn’t a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.

Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. “Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future.”

There’s quite a few worth watching besides what’s already been mentioned.

• Patriot
• Bosch
• Goliath
• The Night Manager
• Sneaky Pete
• Reacher
• Jack Ryan
• Mr. & Mrs. Smith
• Good Omens
• The Man In The High Castle
• The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Super Monster - Ooh La La La

I bought an old iPod at a garage sale awhile ago and this was on it. It took a surprising amount of searching to find, given just the artist’s name and song title.

It could be an outtake from Velvet Underground’s Loaded. The singer even sounds like a young Lou Reed.

Works with tea, too!

Sean Lock’s Life Hacks

You reminded me of the old Joe Cartoon videos from the before YouTube times.

Gerbil in a Microwave (NSFW warning for cartoon violence)

My gf tried it. When I asked her how it was, she just said “mmm mmm mmm.” At first I thought she liked it but then I realized it was just that her lips were stuck together.

Amerigo Gazaway - Fela Soul - Fela Kuti vs. De La Soul is an album I still listen to regularly. Feel Good Inc. is a stand out.

All 3 Beastles albums by dj BC are really well done: dj BC presents The Beastles, Let It Beast, and Ill Submarine

Sweet Jane (With Affection) by Two Nice Girls isn’t a mashup, per se, but a blending of Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane” with Joan Armatrading’s “Love and Affection.”

Are there qualifications to be a Justice? Do you have to be a lawyer or attend law school to be a Supreme Court Justice?

The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law.

Several infectious disease experts and neurosurgeons said in separate interviews with the Times that, based on what Kennedy described, they believed it was likely a pork tapeworm larva.

Why I cook with Frozen Vegetables (& you should too)

Haven’t watched this yet, to be honest. But I like Ethan Chlebowski’s videos for the most part.

I’m assuming he’s referring to the Vice TV cable channel.

I kinda wish Sonic Youth would update lyrics for Youth Against Fascism. They can keep the verse about Clarence Thomas, though.
