I’ve had the headphones on a lot at work lately. Today started with Al Green, which is my default setting when I can’t figure out what I want to listen to. After that I let a random sampling of singles play, including the April March’es Chic Habit<\/em>, which makes me feel like a letch, although maybe I feel that way for other reasons, Annie’s Chewing Gum<\/em>, which I’ve never gotten tired of hearing, The Antler’s Bear<\/em>, which I always forget how much I like, and Aretha doing Until You Come Back to Me<\/em>, which reminds me why I love a divas.<\/p>\n

As a late bday gift to myself I got RU and myself tix to go see Sharon Jones.

If you’ve never seen Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, you are missing a show and I mean a show with a capital “S.” Sharon has tapped into the energy of James Brown and Little Richard and the Dap Kings are the reincarnation of a Motown studio band.<\/p>\n

I was helping a friend move the other day and giving a ride to this super nice 20 something year old.

I wish I could say it was about making a connection through music, but at the moment it was about having my tastes affirmed. I am self-indulgent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
