🎄Say what you want about this classic, but it’s perfect. SIMPLY perfect. Timeless. Infectiously joyous. And the runs … Oh. My. Goodness. And this latest video—well, how can you resist?

@clayrivers @BlackMastodon @blackmastodon If people still care about a song nearly 30 years later, it has to have some positives.

But I'm sure people will still care for it next year, too.

Black communities don’t simply fall into disrepair; they die a slow and painful death of starvation of municipal funds.

It’s infuriating. I’ve not been on the payout receiving end of one of those deals. I have to wonder do people get enough money to start over? Enough to pay for new home and accoutrements and increased taxes, etc.?

Yeah … I like my Christmas jam heavy on smooth vocals with a side of R&B groove.

@clayrivers @BigAngBlack @BlackMastodon @blackmastodon I like to use this as the ultimate symbol of xmas jingle terror, but the dirty secret is that I bought the album with this on when it was new.

1994 though.

I guess this counts as "late 20th century music".

Hi everyone. I'm back and I see the world is still on fire...sigh. Here's some soothing music for you. It's the second recommendation from my Ethiopian friends. The artist is Zeritu Kebede. Unless you speak Amharic fast forward to 1:10 which is when the music starts. Enjoy.

Although I traveled to Ethiopia once, I was on a work assignment and didn't get to really spend time learning the culture. I asked a friend of mine here in the DMV if he could recommend some music. I'm posting one of the recs today: Tilahun Gessesse. He was the oldest of the artists and you know I like old traditional music. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/UD0fA2WJdbU?si=WNX2knw4pjH5Dvsd

#80s dance music goes real well with Halloween. Especially those heavy synths, deep baselines. Drummin'.
I'mma do the easy ones first

#Thriller

Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me

Cameo - Candy

Cherrelle - I didn't mean to turn you on (cause sexy costumes)

Whodini - Freaks Come out at night

What else y'all got

BTW, Anybody remember Chick-O-Sticks? I just looked and you can still buy em. And they're vegan

Last week saw Fatoumata Diawara in concert. I didn't know her work but she's Malian so I was all in. She sings but also plays electric guitar! She's a great singer though at times the show was a little TOO electric for me. Here's a clip. I'm also going to post her Tiny Desk Concert where she is actually playing the guitar. Enjoy

@ghostwise @blackmastodon Right, no visas now, but I think she lives in France for some years now, since before things got bad. I enjoyed her singing...but I'll admit I got distracted trying to keep up with the electronic stuff.

@ghostwise @blackmastodon I'm just re-reading your reply...she had to flee France? What happened?
