Listening

because i am not on any social media or even spotify, i had this idea that i’d like to share what i’m listening to with people i love through my site.

 this is not a comprehensive list in any way,  just keeping a few songs up for now.  as many of you know, Stevie Wonder is my favorite musician of all times, and every album he made from 1967-1980 is for me a complete masterpiece.

 there is then my favorite album of all time, Public Enemy’s Fear of a Black Planet.

 lately, I listen to a lot more jazz, music in Arabic and music without words, like dance and electronic, yet below are a few songs which I play / listen to in relation  our political situation here in the stolen lands of Lenepehoking and Canarsie aka Brooklyn, NY and in Cairo, Egypt  for my fam.

 i heard this song live on the amazing “Summer of Soul” and just could not get it out of my head for days- gladys knight and the pips are on fire

buried beneath the highways,
they never had a chance to grow....”
