I went to place and looked at books. Was a little surprised to be face to face with a world so alive, but also not so alive at all. Then I wrote a thing. substack.sashafrerejones.com…

I just dropped an epic essay about the rise of Rakim and why he is the father of all modern elite MCs and how he developed into the God MC and how John Coltrane and his family helped him become your favorite MC's favorite MC. Read it free: toure.substack.com

Hey! How's it going? It's been a minute, and let's assume that things are going both well and apoplectically, because as Frank O'Hara once wrote "in a sense we're all winning/we're alive," and also we're all not winning, because . . . well, you know . . .

For real, I was in awe. Some things made sense (if that's the right word). I could see/feel one of the bassists doubling his time. But lots was mysterious. Solos (if that's the right word) rose out of the bardo and disappeared into the steady-state throb, never to be heard again.

It all kept going-grinding-being. Until it stopped. Anyway, there's a thunderstorm now. So I'm gonna listen to that for a while. Should be about the same. Have a good Friday night!

Today marks the launch of "Four Strings and the Truth: The Bassists Who Changed Music." For this first season we're focusing on the post-punk/new wave/proto-hardcore era. Have a listen here: pod.link/1733284004 Grateful to @RealJoeLevy for the show's name.

A little later than I would have preferred, 84 albums it would be all too retro for me to call records constitute a 2023 Dean's List topped by a 20-year-old albeit chocked as well with veterans if only occasionally literal graybeards. robertchristgau.substack.com…

What an honor to be part of this murderers' row. Courtney's piece is so great. And @SowmyaK on hip-hop & fashion? "When Andy Hilfiger got a call from Snoop Dogg, who was looking for some free gear, Andy’s brother Tommy had no idea what would happen next." Hah!

Wonderful guest essay by @RealJoeLevy for @sashafrerejones about the Tom Verlaine book sale in NYC...and much more. How much do our books really tell about us? substack.sashafrerejones.com…
