still proud of this piece, which attempts to complicate one of the things d'angelo was (unfairly) best known for

Why D’Angelo’s ‘Untitled’ Video Is Still Uniquely Provocative, Nearly Two Decades Later

The video for Dâ€™Angeloâ€™s â€œUntitled (How Does It Feel)â€ is famously simple: a man, nude as far as the edge of the frame sitting low on his hips, singing so passionately it seems like his inspir...

i think the ultimate gift for them is if max christie comes into this year and all of a sudden it’s like whoa this guy is really good if you trust him on offense and let him cook. that happens and i get crazy optimistic and think they could go toe to toe with denver

maybe like point guard lite? like not bring the ball up and initiate. but get the ball at the top of the key with 9 seconds left on the shot clock and run a pick and roll with AD successfully?

LeeAnn Wombat @jonnyauping.bsky.social · 1d

my take is that flagg/AD/lively on the court at the same time could be actually very overwhelming for bad teams and many good teams to handle. maximize those three on the court together and then hopefully having way more Definitely NBA Caliber Players than they usually have will also be good

mavs players are fun and i’m pivoting and deciding it’s gonna be fun bc you only get a Weird team every so often. i will not attribute any success to any dumb jerk. i will attribute any success to myself

for this week’s My Time Back, i wrote about Benjamin Moser’s great and gargantuan biography of Susan Sontag and i wrote about how her work can always outdistance her life if you give yourself the time with it. also i wrote about her jacket and kristen stewart mytimeback.beehiiv.com/p/sontag-2019

But it would be borderline irresponsible for me to gloss over how cool she looks on the cover.
She is rocking a black leather jacket and a little bit of grey in her hair that suggests I bet you would love to be in a New York loft, surrounded by people of whom you have some vague sense are important or smart, with an hors devours in your hand engaging in deep conversation with me. But buddy, let me tell you something: That would not go well for you.
I would absolutely eviscerate you in the realm of considered topics. This leather jacket on you would scream 'I buy books about economic mindfulness on Amazon dot com.'

willie is the only one of his guard left but willie is 91

erykah and q-tip and questlove should not have already lost so many of their guard. roy hargrove and j dilla and phife not being here are all legitimate tragedies. now, potentially, this

one of the best artists of the 1970s. guy just happened to make a little music. this album would be the first i’d pick if you asked me what record should be taught in universities

Juarez, Terry Allen
Allen's opening statement is just as arty and weird and enduring as the more famous ones to come.

'70s country is the source of plenty of current nostalgia despite being made (gulp) a half century ago. There are so many great albums that hit the 50 mark this year, though, and it only seemed right ...
