A Ghost #MusicMonday via @TravisBand
One of my favourite bands, Travis has returned with a new single “A Ghost,” taken from their latest album, 10 Songs. I’ve featured Travis before, and I’m thrilled the Scottish indie band continues to make such stellar music. Frontman, Fran Healy went into self-imposed quarantine for 14 days after finishing the album. Because he wasn’t...Continue reading A Ghost #MusicMonday via @TravisBand →

The Dangerous Ones #MusicMonday via @leasdef
This past week, I discovered a perfect piece of music for the times. A friend sent me a video from Eleven Films, a company based in Portland. You can watch the video entitled “The Dangerous Ones” on their site. Just be prepared to weep. I’ve seen many of their short films, all politically motivated, representing...Continue reading The Dangerous Ones #MusicMonday via @leasdef →

New World Order #MusicMonday
I remember playing this CD incessantly when it dropped in the late nineties. The entire album is great, and Mayfield’s voice is soul personified. Paralyzed from the neck down after lighting equipment fell on him during a performance in 1990, New World Order was his final release. He recorded all the tracks while lying on...Continue reading New World Order #MusicMonday →

A Change is Gonna Come #MusicMonday
Brian Owens sings with his father, Thomas Owens, in this cover of Sam Cooke’s classic, “A Change is Gonna Come.” The song became an anthem for the Civil Rights Movement and is widely considered Cooke’s best composition. I featured it by the great Aretha Franklin a couple of years ago, but in light of the...Continue reading A Change is Gonna Come #MusicMonday →

Mississippi Goddam #MusicMonday
Nina Simone is so much more than her incredible discography. She became a go-to figure for political activism during her time, announcing “Mississippi Goddam” as her first civil rights song. She wrote it as a protest song in response to cold-blooded murder. Civil rights activist Medgar Evers had just been assassinated, and four young, black...Continue reading Mississippi Goddam #MusicMonday →
