Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.

In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He’s the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn’t a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.

Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. “Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future.”

A couple old ones:

The Serpent And The Rainbow directed by Wes Craven.

Arachnophobia with Jeff Daniels, John Goodman.

There’s quite a few worth watching besides what’s already been mentioned.

• Patriot
• Bosch
• Goliath
• The Night Manager
• Sneaky Pete
• Reacher
• Jack Ryan
• Mr. & Mrs. Smith
• Good Omens
• The Man In The High Castle
• The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

I bet we were at some of the same shows if you were doing First Ave/Fine Line/Turf Club/Uptown Bar in the '90s.

I’ll take Replacements at 7th Street Entry in early 1986. Westerberg did If Only You Were Lonely solo acoustic as an encore while getting pelted with beer bottles from off stage.

Most memorable (in hindsight) would be Stevie Ray Vaughan at Alpine Valley the night before the helicopter crash.

Works with tea, too!

Sean Lock’s Life Hacks

You reminded me of the old Joe Cartoon videos from the before YouTube times.

Gerbil in a Microwave (NSFW warning for cartoon violence)

My gf tried it. When I asked her how it was, she just said “mmm mmm mmm.” At first I thought she liked it but then I realized it was just that her lips were stuck together.

Are there qualifications to be a Justice? Do you have to be a lawyer or attend law school to be a Supreme Court Justice?

The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law.

Haven’t watched this yet, to be honest. But I like Ethan Chlebowski’s videos for the most part.
