🎶 Black is people namin' your countries on what they trade most
Coast of Ivory, Gold Coast, and the Grain Coast
But most importantly to show how deep all this pain goes
West Africa, Benin, they called it slave coast 🎶
That bit hit me like a ton of bricks when I first heard it. Until he pointed it out, it had never occurred to me.
It’s pride month, and what better way to celebrate than with a celebration of the pride flag. So we’re looking for songs that feature red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet, white, pink, blue, brown, and black.
The good thing about growing up in a backwater was that I never knew that STP were maligned as “inauthentic”. So, I never had to pretend that this album isn’t fucking great.
If memory serves, I bought this from a mail-order catalog along with Pearl Jam’s Ten and Nirvana’s Nevermind. They were the first CDs I ever bought.
(Excluding Megadeth’s SFSGSW, which I got in a bargain bin and sold soon afterwards)

Today's theme is brought to you by @VestigialLung and it is: #TheLongGoodbye Songs that have really long outros, both good or bad.
Now my choice is a song that is literally called "Long Slow Goodbye" and the song itself does have a long outro which perfectly closes the album "Lullabies To Paralyze".
Inspired by a thing I saw on Reddit earlier today, I’m going to try listening to more complete albums this year. Maybe daily? We’ll see how it shakes out.
#AnAlbumADay 155/366: Solid State Survivor by Yellow Magic Orchestra
Catching up with yesterday's listen. This was a cool discovery that I came across when not wanting to pick a "Y" artist that I felt was too easy or well known. They kind of remind me of Space and Kraftwerk.
