PROGRAM B 1975-NOW.

From ZC:

Whoa. Long time no Turquoise Wisdom! Hello again to all my Rotter & Friends friends! Okay. Last month Concord Music Group released a Fleetwood Mac tribute album called Just Tell Me That You Want Me. Many of the artists on the covers record chose to tackle some lesser-known ‘Mac jams that may leave the casual listener a bit confused– this is where I come in. Brace yourself as I attempt the impossible– a crash course on the deeper side of the band’s unparalleled 40+ year career in just 2 one-hour radio shows! As always, these mixes are in no way definitive– just me going through my ‘Mac records and piecing together a fun and (hopefully) educational listen. I’ll also be playing a few cuts from the new tribute album, if you like what you’re hearing, you can grab a copy HERE.

a sound i like

the slurpy sound when you put your fork in a bowl of pasta with a LOT of sauce. like hitting gold.

this is A+

i think steve hely tipped me to comedians in cars getting coffee, which i resisted for awhile, but it’s great. i can’t embed it for some reason but watch them all, especially the louis ck one. his story about running his yacht into the ground is too much.

been thinking about this

more on the puppy channel from this american life:

In his [creator of the puppy channel dan fitzsimmons’] business plan, along with all the spreadsheets and financial utlines, under the section entitled ‘vision’:

To make television more helpful

And under mission:

To help people relax and feel better

rooting for the seahawks

read this excellent super bowl preview about the seattle seahawks and richard sherman, who “rose from a childhood in Compton, to earning a Stanford degree, to rising to be the best at his position in a professional sport.”

As James Baldwin writes of the American dream, “If people are denied participation in it, by their very presence they will wreck it.” You do not have to like Richard Sherman or even be a Seahawks fan to recognize what the NFL is doing when it fines or admonishes him in his moments of pride. Richard Sherman is significant because, like all things once considered “abnormal” that have or will become normal, he represents more than what he portrays. Richard knows as well as anyone, because of the uniqueness of his trajectory, he is not the American dream – that’s a ways off, and the divisive reaction to his statements helps reveal the heartbreaking distance. …

For now, whether you love his discourse or hate it, recognize who the man is, what he means, and what it means for him to be here.
