The National, “Demons” (via briennewalsh)
Another video from New Orleans, Nov. 2005. They called it the Concert of Thanksgiving and I remember it as being the kind of day that made you grateful and hopeful down to your bones. I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it. On the banks of the Mississippi, we all got together — it felt like everyone in the city, though of course it couldn’t have been — and said, We can do this.
And they did.
In the video: the great Wanda Rouzan, the great Kermit Ruffins, and the greatest ol’ dancer I ever did see.

Kris Kristofferson, on Janis Joplin and her version of “Me and Bobby McGee”:
Well, Janis was, we were very close for a short amount of time. She had learned the song from Bobby Neuwirth, who worked with Bob Dylan a lot. Bobby Neuwirth had shown her the song before I knew Bobby either – it was Roger Miller’s version of it – and she learned the song. I never heard her sing it while we were together. I heard it the day after she died, when the producer asked me to come to the studio to hear what they had done, and she had recorded it. It was very difficult for me to listen to it for a long time… It still pulls my heart.
Good god, could you imagine?

To the Anon who asked me for music motivation for Tracy workouts: I just danced to this mix and it more than did the trick — plus it’s long enough that I won’t get bored of it too quickly. Tomorrow morning, I’ll find Beyonce’s halftime show on YouTube and dance to that twice over (they’re usually 15 minutes) — I did that last year for Madonna’s and it really got me going. (I mixed it up and sometimes did her dance moves instead of Tracy’s — I also do that with the Single Ladies and Get Me Bodied vidoes, a sight that no one will ever-ever see.)
I also have a pretty embarrassing YouTube playlist that I’ve been adding to for awhile. They’re not all good songs, not by a longshot, but that’s not really the point….
When I’m feeling more hipster than hiphop, I listen to Coketalk’s trntbl. And then there are a few Pandora stations, depending on my mood: Love On Top, Coquette, Jay-Z, Salt-n-Pepa, Abba, Prince, Calvin Harris, Drake, Kanye, Passion Pit, M.I.A., Keri Hilson, Miike Snow….
