help why is leslie powell's voice so gorgeous it's literally so sexy

The Powells have too much power. They must be stopped. Glen’s out here being Glen, Leslie has the voice of a goddess out here singing top gun themed songs. How are we supposed to function?

Irreversible Entanglements — Protect Your Light (Impulse!)

Photo by Piper Ferguson

Given their sense of history and commitment to consciousness raising music it is entirely appropriate that Irreversible Entanglements should sign to Impulse! The home of John & Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders and many of the other artists in whose steps the band follows. Partially recorded in Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio, Irreversible Entanglements focus their power on Protect Your Light. The eight tracks are shorter than we’ve come to expect but more expansive in both style and instrumentation. Poet Camae Ayewa continues her dissection of racist structures and celebration of the transformative power of culture and community. Her delivery measured and deliberate, as if now, in these times, clarity of meaning and purpose are paramount. She and bassist Luke Stewart, drummer Tcheser Holmes, trumpeter Aquiles Navarro and saxophonist Keir Neuringer double up on synthesizers, percussion, studio effects and overdubs to broaden their sound. The addition of guest artists amplifies the band’s commitment to community. Fly or Die cellist Leslie St Lewis, composer/poet Janice Low and vocalist Sovie make telling contributions.

The highlights are many. When “Free Love” breaks into a joyful march, the horns exultant over a rolling rhythm and Ayewa’s voice overdubbed and tripping with excitement. Lowe’s piano, Holmes’ thunderous drumming and Navarro’s spiraling solo during Ayewa’s exploration of the racist, colonial roots of capitalism on “Our Land Back.” Luke Stewart’s “Soundness” is Irreversible Entanglements at their knottiest, coolly enunciated words ring clear over rattling percussion, double tracked bass lines and horns that dance and duel. A surface of multiplicities swirling from a singular oceanic source. “root⇔branch,” celebrates the joyous energy of the late jaimie branch’s genre fluid music with St Lewis’s cello motif opening before a squall of synthesizers and trumpet explode into the chant of “We can all be free.” Lowe leads the ballad “Sunshine,” her voice evoking Minnie Riperton with Navarro’s muted trumpet and Holmes’ brushed drums contrasting with a tempest of synthesizer effects.

Ayewa remains a powerfully charismatic voice but as she points out Irreversible Entanglements is a collective, a band who combine to produce music of extraordinary invention, power and delicacy. Protect Your Light takes its place alongside Fire Music, Karma, Interstellar Space and the many other vital records recorded by Van Gelder for Impulse! Although explicit in their acknowledgement of that legacy, Irreversible Entanglements are looking forward, stepping up from the shoulders of the giants to shape a body of work that demands attention.

brother's top almost-10 slasher-esque movies that i made him watch coming to you live except we feel like we're forgetting something

[im-overstimulated-and-im-sad]

Manifesting who I want to host sometime during season 48 for SNL- (a lot of these have hosted before; but they did such a good job and I’ve watched their episodes so many times I want them to host AGAIN.

People who should host SNL this year:

Leslie Jones- man I miss Leslie on SNL, and it’s been enough years she really ought to come back and host. She’s been long enough her “honey bunches of Jost” is married and has a child! That update appearance would be amazing.

Rob Lowe- so I was surprised once I finally broke down and got stupid Peacock that Rob Lowe has in fact hosted SNL three times! The most recent was in 2000 so it’s been a while but y’all, this ageless man is a delight. He has a show on a network right now so he has shit to promote and because his sons should be there to heckle him during the monologue.

Courteney Cox- I think she has a show right now, something with Greg Kinnear? Eh don’t quote me on that but I think she would be great on there and as far as Friends cast members go I still feel she is an underrated one.

Chris Evans- this is one where I feel he’s been asked and he didn’t want to do it. And that happens, like when Oscar Isaac hosted he mentioned in his monologue that he had turned them down when they first asked him to host in 2015. And cause Chris Evans has mentioned his struggles with anxiety in interviews it makes me think he wouldn’t be totally comfortable with this kind of gig? I don’t know there’s a chance he just hasn’t been asked but that seems unlikely to me, and also I want him to come on and tap dance.

Zendaya- this is the one I feel most like this could actually happen- she’s the youngest person to win an Emmy she could very well win another one in a few days, her career is on fire and she would be sensational.

Colson Baker- I want to see him host as well as be the musical guest, which I don’t know how likely it is since Pete has left, but he did say he was gonna release two albums this year and the European leg of his tour is scheduled to end in October so there would be time after that if he was on and then put his next album out. Cause come on he would be so much fun on there!

Allison Janney- this is another I’m surprised this hasn’t happened already. She’s been on literally so many shows and has I think like 62 Emmys? Like we need to make this happen!

Craig Robinson- WHEN I SAY PREHEAT, YOU SAY OVEN! Sorry that probably seemed weird- Craig Robinson made a show called “Mr Robinson” where that’s a line from a song he sings. The show isn’t that good and they only made six episodes but seriously- this man is so much fun! He has a current show in Peacock to promote! Andy Samberg could possibly pop in! This is another one where I don’t know if it will happen BUT IT SHOULD.

Emma Stone- this is one where she has hosted, in fact she’s hosted four times. But she should host again for the big five times! She’s one where even in the first episode she hosted she fits in so well, and her episodes are rewatchable AF.

RuPaul- another one where yes he has hosted but he needs to do it again! I need him to read more children at the library!

Taylor Tomlinson- oh sweet lord I LOVE THIS GIRL SO MUCH. Seriously please watch her Netflix specials if you haven’t yet- I want this one to happen more than anyone in this list I am such a simp for this girl. Okay this one and MGK are the two I want the most.

Sebastian Stan- I have no idea how this would go. But he’s done a lot of stuff this year and he is someone I could see them asking and him turning it down cause he does seem more shy and awkward in interviews. Maybe he wouldn’t rock it but I’m curious.

Taylor Swift- I do wonder why she hasn’t hosted again. She’s been on as the musical guest so many times but she only hosted once when she was 19, and as we all know, that is a very different Taylor. I want grown up Taylor to host dammit! Also she has a new album coming out so you know, shit to promote and what not.

James Marsden- Honestly either he or Patrick Dempsey could be on here cause both have a movie coming out in Disney plus this year. James Marsden though seems more able to access off the wall wacky between the two of them though.

Stephanie Beatriz- is there anyone less like the character that made them famous than this lady? Which speaks to how kickass of an actor she is. She definitely seems like someone who wouldn’t hide in the back with one line a sketch, she would be front and center and I want to see her take over.

Christopher Meloni- yet another in the how has this not happened yet? I don’t know but here’s why it should happen now- he’s got a current show so shit to promote, anyone who has seen wet hot American summer/this man’s social media knows he is fucking hilarious and doesn’t show that as much as he should, and they could do the soul cycle sketch again (because have you seen this man’s arms- like HOLY HELL. SIR HAS ANYONE TOLD YOU THAT IN FACT YOU ARE SIXTY ONE YEARS OLD! LIKE GOD DAMN!!!!)

Ariana DeBose- did she literally host not even a year ago? Yes, yes she did. Is this one super likely? No, no it is not. Is it just because her and Kate McKinnon and are fucking magic together and Kate has left the show and I’m in denial over this? Was I watching the Sappho sketch while typing this? Why do you ask?

Zachary Levi- should I stop saying why hasn’t this happened yet? Cause it’s like he starred in a show where he was the title character for five years- but that show was and still is underrated AF. And now he has a sequel coming out where he also plays the title character! And he is just the sweetest human alive if his social media is anything to go by and he’s lovely and needs to be in more stuff.

Vanessa Bayer- how long has she been off the show? Would this be found easily if I looked it up? You know probably. Still- she was always great on SNL and she has that all important shit to promote and she also should appear in more stuff, and because she is as her Miley impersonation would say, she is pretty cool!

Terry Crews- for real though why no asking people on Brooklyn nine nine to host? They would be so good at it! Terry would kill a hosting gig and have more energy than anyone in the building and they can do the soul cycle sketch again!

Sydney Sweeney- I remember seeing her on Ellen and Ellen was going on and on about how Sydney plays such different characters and she answered “yeah.. I’m an actor”. Which I mean it seems like a silly thing to point out but a lot of people just play the same type of character over and over and Sydney is so good in every role she’s played I would love to see her do comedy.

That is who I came up with now- I’ll check in a year to see if any of these came true.
