 [speaking of early Leonard Cohen . . .we were, we were]

"𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝": 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞—"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐝"

It was Paul Simon’s 7th solo album, made during one of the most difficult periods of his life: his relationship with Art Garfunkel had dissolved, so too had his marriage to actress Carrie Fischer, and his 6th album, “Hearts and Bones” had the lowest sales of his career. Simon flew to Johannesburg to record for two weeks and flew some of the great musicians he met there to New York City to complete his 7th record. “Graceland” would become Simon’s best-selling record of his career (16 million copies), earning him a Grammy for Album and Song of the Year.

ADVERT BREAK: Glen Hansard has a new album

 

Glen Hansard - Didn't He Ramble (Recorded Live At Funkhaus)

Glen says: 

We are excited to announce the release of a new album, in two volumes, marking a juncture in the life and career of Glen Hansard. “In the middle of a good life” as Glen warmly put’s it, he is making his way through a journey of “good fortune, goodwill and good energy” - captured so brilliantly through the music and performances on “Transmissions East & West”. Recorded over two days on Glen’s 55th birthday in the iconic studio Funkhaus, in Berlin, the album encapsulates the essence and energy of Glen as a performer, a communicator and a story teller. As a true artist. It’s a studio album, yet recorded live in front of an audience. A retrospective that brilliantly showcases the breadth of Glen’s talents and songwriting. In addition to these two releases, the entire performance was filmed alongside interviews with Glen, the band and fans. Keep an eye out for these moments along the way. First up though we’re sharing the excellent performance of “Didn’t He Ramble” which you can watch above”

Kelly Boesch: Rabbit Holes

 

Kelly says:

"I really love this image style. The surreal realism. And the lighting is beautiful. This song is called “Rabbit Holes” and is about conspiracy theories and strange things people believe. I am completely fascinated with how some people are susceptible to falling for this stuff. I listened to a podcast about a young woman from a very liberal family who went down the Qanon rabbit hole in one weekend on YouTube and turned into a Qanon conspiracy theorist and ended up going to the Capitol and getting crushed and suffocated to death on the stairs of the capitol. Insane story. Or some of the totally strange things in some religions. I am not a religious person but I am spiritual in ways. I just don’t buy into organized religion. But to each his own and just as I wouldn’t want anyone telling me what to believe I would never tell anyone else. We all need to follow our own path. I believe in kindness and empathy and treating people with respect. Loving our earth and animals. I am very thankful for the beautiful messages people send to me. I want to compile some and share them. It means a lot to me that you take time out of your day to watch and write. Thank you so much. I do try to respond the best I can but I post on 6 platforms and get thousands of messages so it gets really hard. I do all of this myself. Creating, posting, uploading, answering. Sometimes I see my followers answering questions people ask and it’s so sweet. Like where to find the music etc. I appreciate all of you ❤️❤️❤️”

Nina Simone - Who Knows Where The Time Goes (live) | O My Soul
