spring is finally here, so i’m slightly altering my music playlist to reflect that. i may be a perpetually moody metalhead, but i will definitely stop what i’m doing and listen to some happy, sunny music when appropriate.
I don’t understand why this song sends me into literal crying fits every time i hear it, but it does. the first time I heard it from my xbox and I couldn’t play phantom crash because I was too fucked up, and tonight I listened to it on purpose because I was drunk and wanted a good cry, and by god I got a good cry out of this.
as the good folks at open studio say, “don’t sleep on grant green”
or as i always remember it “don’t fuck with grant green”
they called it hard bop for a reason. goes hard
one time back in college some guy made fun of me when i mentioned liking the grant green version of someday my prince will come. I don’t really know or care now if he had a point but I think it must have been consequential cause earlier today I bought a ticket to see bill orcutt in a couple of weeks.
Makes sense these dudes would work together tho it feels weird… danny brown is from the time i got rly into rap, jpegmafia is from the time i started to check out… this song rocks tho and i will listen to their album
sleeper are playing in my local town next month, i listened to this album all the time in uni and its very nostalgic!
I actually like Danny Brown more now that he’s in his 40s and he’s chilled out on the hyper-misogynist irony aesthetic and is just doing good rap without caveats now
