SONG OF THE DAY: Abele Dance


Had an old roommate/friend who, whenever Manu Dibango would come on, he’d say, “Man… you da bango!” in a funny voice. He ended up getting all fucked up with me because I did a photography project with an ex of his, who he automatically assumed I was fucking because we took pictures of each other, along with another person, all of it entirely clothed lol. He had been doing this thing where he told me he was going through therapy, but there is a realm of people who find therapists that just end up sort of cosigning poor behavior, or the person just tricks the therapist to go along with things. I don’t know. I told ol’ boy to fuck off for even trying to have me have to explain some shit that didn’t even happen, and he blocked me on everything, everywhere. He still plays guitar in Richmond, and is in that Cool Older Musician era of his life where he does semi-predatory shit on the regular with women 20 years younger than himself. But it’s cool, man. Dudes don’t have to actually be better people so long as they make dramatic ass social media posts about how they’re so much better.
Also, now that I think about it, he still owes Boogie Brown money for a bike he bought back in the day. So fuck that dude twice. I hope you accidentally see this, too, you weak bitch. With your jump roping ass.

SONG OF THE DAY: Waterfalls



T-Boz was an all-time Raven Mack crush. I still sometimes think me and her could get together. It’s possible. Not sure why I got a TLC retro kick this past year but I did, and I did hard. This is their biggest hit, and still a chill song. But is it chill because it’s actually chill, or is this the stains of nostalgia for olden days where the bad memories have dissipated and only good thoughts remain? And I didn’t even listen to TLC back then because I was a young adult male and too goddamned hard to be listening to R&B. Toxic masculinity has so many weird tendrils into all the things we do as grown ass men, afraid to not be the hardest hardest hard as hard can get. Worried more about erectile dysfunction than emotional dysfunction. Oh well. While it’s hard to agree with shutting people down for wanting to see a waterfall, I’m 100% down with sticking to the rivers I’m used to, because they’re pretty chill rivers, and I don’t really know them as well as I could. So T-Boz, if you reading this by chance, googling yourself, and somehow the devil ass algorithm doesn’t block me, any time you wanna come through Virginia and float a section of either the Rivanna or the James with a dimple-bearded elevated consciousness country boy, hit me up. Email in the sidebar. I got you.
