This is as good a time as any to start a music thread. I& #39;ll add to as I& #39;m listening to stuff. I& #39;ll start with the Childish Gambino:

2/ If you watched @rhythmflow, @DSmoke7 was the Season 1 winner. His album #BlackHabits is really good and worth multiple listens.

4/ New from @BlakEmoji: #Antidote. I dig how lead singer Kelsey says you can "[f]ile under electronic, indi-electro, downtempo, lofi-gasm or blaktronica"

8a/ IMO, this album& #39;s version of "Machine Gun" is hardly the best. My favorite is on the 4-album "Songs for Groovy Children: The Fillmore East Concerts (Live)". They basically recorded all 4 shows between Dec 31, & #39;69 and Jan 1, & #39;70. Check it out here: https://j.mp/2UVpmBv ">https://j.mp/2UVpmBv&q...
8b/ So, my favorite version of "Machine Gun" is from the 2nd set on 1/1/70. The groove under Jimi is just so face-scrunchingly mean.

8c/ Lastly, tho, that 1st set on NYD 1970, that "Machine Gun" version is where Jimi, Billy and Buddy come out BLAZING, and really pushing the tempo in a way that gives it a heightened urgency. It& #39;s exhilarating in a whole & #39;nother way.
9/ A fave 2019 album was Stormzy& #39;s #HeavyIsTheHead. Multiple strong cuts: "One Second", "Audacity", " Don& #39;t Forget to Breathe" and, of course, "Own It"
