Records I Am Glad to Have Found in 2023: Part 1

Instead of rufflin' whatever (feather) maybe it's better that there's just a place where I can tell you that my life is better for having found these records and having them within reach. Maybe you might wanna reach for them as well. Up to you! Maybe feel fortunate that I want to engage with Tumblr at all, but the 16 or so accounts who said (anonymously) that they miss my review content may get a kick out of all this, and see where my head's at now.

New records, not-new records, things I bought, things that were sent to me, things I bartered for. Fair play.

First up, this Beau Wanzer record that I wrote up a while back. I feel exactly the same about it. It's new as of January and there aren't many releases out there like it at the moment. Undead, shufflin' Beau hours. One of my favorite DJs and electronic musicians in Chicago, he really does not seem to walk any path other than his own.

Al B. Sure! - In Effect Mode LP (Uptown/Warner Bros., 1988)

Growing up in my early teens, two songs from Al B. Sure!'s debut album were more or less inescapable: the masterful slow jam "Nite and Day," and the more uptempo quasi-diss track "Off On Your Own (Girl)." I never owned the record (why would I, this always seemed like a "why buy the cow" situation), and it never seemed to turn up used, something I better understand now.

This thing is great! It's short, mindful of our time and Al's. Side 1 contains four slow jams (the Nite! side), kicking off with the classic "Nite and Day" (so much rooftop glare and World Trade Center fixation in the vid) and cascading down into the whisper/falsetto/snap percussion ballad "Oooh This Love Is So" (kinda like an older brother NKOTB slow jam, really well arranged, FM synths cresting over top with some tasteful guitar buried underneath). His take on Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" is doctor's office soft, but works where the Fugees' take doesn't, as Al seems to know there's no improving on the original, and he's lucky just to put it in his framework. "Naturally Mine" is like the shadowy flipside to the majesty of the opener, and doesn't come close, but also doesn't need to; the Teddy Riley guitar work does a lot on its own.

Side 2 (the Day! side) turns on the lights for some more uptempo New Jack Swing template jams. Opener "Rescue Me" sounds like two songs that were somehow merged into one, but that may just be the tonal difference between the intro and verse structure.

"Off On Your Own (Girl)" is neatly, nearly perfect, with quiet, pressurized syncopation, Al's bellyache storytellin' (sits by the phone a lot, it seems), and a delivery, particularly in the chorus, which says so much more than the title states. I'm particularly enamored of his switching between judgmental sing-speak/orchestra hit stress and his bracing falsetto. On the stremf! He even throws us a Slick Rick impression in a bridge. Last two tracks seem interchangeable but that's fine; you don't serve surf after the turf, even if you're coming in hot with bass pounds.

Uptown is generally a welcome sign of quality for this time and place; from Al to Heavy D., Guy to Jodeci. Andre knew what was up. Cool cat logo too.

Honestly there are probably other Al jams worth seeking out, and of course his performance in New Jack City when he fingers Ice-T as a narc with those Bert eyebrows of his. Most people don't hit this sort of success right out of the gate, and that's the needle he threads so effortlessly here.

Ron Morelli – Heart Stopper 2xLP (L.I.E.S., 2023)

Ron was one of the first people I met when I moved to NYC in 2000, and for a while I was regularly having lunch with him, Steve Roche, Adam Paterson, and Matt Smith at the Uptown Juice Bar in lower Manhattan, when we were all working in some sort of office and/or dot-com capacity, going to ABC No Rio and the like. I'd fall in and out of that orbit for a while over the next 6-7 years, as bands formed and broke up, people worked up their DJ chops, etc. At some point Ron moved down to Philly and was grinding in a more formal club DJ capacity before coming back to NYC and starting L.I.E.S., living in the trap, and working at A-1 in the East Village. It wasn't easy, even in that orbit, to find the L.I.E.S. releases, but the quality was always there.

I fell off a bit due to life and the like, missed a lot of Ron's Hospital output (as well as a lot of later L.I.E.S., again due to life stuff; the last one I gripped from the initial run was Florian Kupfer's Lifetrax), and last I knew he had relocated to Paris. Living in Chicago has given me more of an opportunity to interface with house music as it happened, with proximity to the records and DJs in clubs, to where it started to click with me. Heart Stopper retains this same sort of focus, drilling down on the repetition and stress/release of the foundational cuts of the initial era. My fave here is "Tangled Trap of Love," a big nod to Master C & J's "Face It," but I've found myself putting this record on and letting it roll to the close more often than most I've favored this year. Didn't make it to the Podlasie Club back in May, but I did appreciate this (paywalled) interview in the First Floor Substack, the guy I remember so well playing stoically to the bozos up front, dialing down style to the horizon where it meets substance and accepting nothing less.

I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem today.  This is the first time I’ve gone to a movie on opening weekend in a loooooooong time, but the advertising had actually gotten me pretty excited.

For perhaps the very first time in my life, it made the turtles look like actual teenagers.  Despite the name, and despite characters often calling them teens/children, the writing has almost always portrayed them as older.  The 1990 movie, which still remains my absolute favorite bit of turtles media, had Raphael’s ‘disguise’ when he goes out be a trenchcoat and fedora.  I love him, but that’s not a teenager.

It takes a lot more than just riding skateboards and using slang to make that look like anything but a grown adult.  The other cartoons and movies have also felt like adults in their own way.

But here they really felt like kids.  The actors that were chosen are all actual teens themselves, and the writing captured the impulsivity and chaos and earnestness of being young.  Not in the sense “kids are dumb, so we’ll make them idiots” which I see a lot elsewhere, but in the sense “kids make mistakes, because they’re kids.”  I’ve heard they were given a lot of room to improv, and if so then kudos all the way around because it all felt natural.

I also really loved the art style.  It’s not quite as mind-blowing as the Spider-Verse films (They changed the game) but it really managed to capture the energy and movement and also the uniqueness of all the different mutants and character designs.

The music was where things really shone through.  Again, not as mindblowing as Spider-Verse (Look, you are never going to top “What’s Up Danger?” so let’s just move on) but it was worked into the film seamlessly.  Particularly all of the rap and hip-hop, which worked in-and-of-itself but also connected back to the very origin of the turtles where they were supposed to be immersed in inner city black and hispanic culture before they were forced to change them to ‘surfer boys’.

My only criticism for the changes to the backstory is the idea to make Splinter a completely random NYC rat before touching the ooze.  Different adaptations have varied on the exact backstory, but he’s always had a prior connection to martial arts and a heritage that he passes on to the turtles.  Either as a pet of Hamato Yoshi, or Yoshi himself transformed into a rat.  Here he’s just “a rat” and he learned martial arts from watching How To videos.  That idea is pretty lacking.

I’d be interested in seeing more of this same story, and if we’re going to continue to get more reboots of classic franchises from Hollywood I wish they would all bring this level of energy and creativity to it.

ulrimate irony - friend and I have a loud drunken argument stumbling out of a bar about how much things have improved for queer people since the late 00s when we were teens in NYC. And I, cynic, argue that my friend is exaggerating just how much homophobia gets you shamed in polite spaces here and that once you leave the office none of that shit matters. Queerphobia has repercussions in queer spaces but leave it and you get exposed to the same shit we did 15 years ago.

But my friend feels so inspired by the idea that the typical Gen Z kid wouldn't have even remembered Matthew Shepherd day, he's misty eyed.

We schlep to a 7/11 for water and chex mix to sober up, and it's like 2:30 on the edge of Park Slope, Brooklyn, liberal bastion. As I pick out water, some teenagers come in for energy drinks and snacks, and not a minute later I hear one of those kids calling his own friend a faggot for getting a certain Monster flavor.

Happy Pride..

Madonna's Sons Leave Her NYC Home as She Battles Illness and Recovering

Madonna's sons, Rocco Ritchie and David Banda, were spotted leaving their mother's New York City apartment on Friday amidst reports of her ongoing battle with illness. Despite her hospitalization, the boys decided to step out, possibly indicating a positive turn in Madonna's health. In the early morning, Rocco, Madonna's son with ex-husband Guy Ritchie, was seen crossing the street outside her Upper East Side townhouse. He looked dapper, sporting black slacks, loafers, a stylish patterned shirt, and colored sunglasses, carrying a backpack. Later in the day, David Banda, whom Madonna and Guy adopted together, was photographed getting into an SUV. He opted for comfort, dressed in a white t-shirt and black shorts. It remains unclear if the brothers' departure from Madonna's residence is a result of her improving health. They had arrived at her home on Wednesday after news of her hospitalization broke, and it's unknown if they had been staying there over the past few days. These recent developments come after sources revealed on Thursday that the "Material Girl" singer was still struggling with symptoms from her bacterial infection. Although discharged from the hospital, Madonna was reportedly experiencing uncontrollable vomiting and remained bedridden at home.

Madonna’s tour “Celebration” has been put on hold due to her illness.

The singer has reportedly been “vomiting uncontrollably” despite being released from the hospital.

Madonna has been battling a bacterial infection since Saturday.

It is unclear why the teen left his mom’s side amid her illness.

The 17-year-old was photographed Friday getting into an SUV with a bodyguard by his side.

David Banda also spent some time at his mother Madonna’s home while she recovered.

It is unknown why he decided to leave.

The 22-year-old was first seen at the Upper East Side residence on Wednesday.

Rocco Ritchie was photographed leaving his mother Madonna’s home Friday. Insiders also shed light on the challenging circumstances leading up to Madonna's health scare. They disclosed that she began vomiting on Saturday and even collapsed at one point. Prior to her hospitalization, there were reports of her becoming "unresponsive." Throughout this ordeal, Madonna's eldest child, Lourdes Leon, has been by her side. While concerns surrounded Madonna's well-being, her model daughter, Lourdes, appeared more at ease, sharing a sultry photo on her Instagram Story. Madonna's other children include Rocco, 22, David, 17, Mercy James, 17, and 9-year-old twins Stella and Estere Ciccone. The cause of Madonna's illness remains unknown, though some speculated that her intense rehearsals for the upcoming "Celebration" tour may have contributed. Insider sources also revealed that the "Ray of Light" singer had been battling a fever for a month. Madonna herself has not addressed her illness thus far. We wish Madonna a speedy recovery and hope to see her back in good health soon, continuing to inspire fans worldwide with her music and performances. https://youtu.be/KjGg-qnRiVE

Spiritual Exploration

My spiritual life kind of started in college. I would meditate semiregularly and was part of the Hindu society, wihich did weekly pujas. I also took Hinduism classes and studied texts on my own- whatever was at the library- mainly Hindu and Buddhist texts. I would say I didn't live a clean lifestyle. I was angry and depressed a lot. I used to eat meat, used to smoke and drink (which may or may not be major deterrents to spiritual growth). I was on medication for anxiety and attentional issues. I was also moderately active, if that matters. I was also more social, which is to be expected in college vs. working life.

activities- meditation, reading mainly Gita

After college I continued to drink, mainly to deal with pressure. I reduced the amount of smoking. My dad taught me pranayama and I continued to try new spiritual practices related to meditation- i would hop in on classes in Arlington. I tried yoga a few times.

It was during this time that I experienced energy movements up my spine. I lost my job, and left for Hawwaii to work at an ashram/farm.

I learned a lot here. I learned about pranayama and medtation, and yoga. I don't really know what to make of that experience. I lost weight, looked better, but I felt a lot of tension with the staff, and often felt stressed socially, maybe i just felt out of place. REgardless, I met good people and learned a lot.

I then went back to Virignia, and started a few years excelling career wise. I was more spiritually active and started to clean up.

I was mostly celibate during this time.

NYC- I moved to NJ/NYC in 2014 and this changed me profoundly.

I was meditating a lot, drinking less. I could feel people, and felt confident.

After moving to the city, I started noticing my energy pouring out of me into other people. It would exit through my left side. This put me in a state of panic. I think I was part of some race/class war that was happening. I don't think I had a clear picture of what was happening.

I will say

that I felt part of the masses, like I had a place and I was accepted.

I used to freqeuent this IMPROV theater, UCB and enjoyed the energy I felt at the shows.

Sad- after the election of 2016, I got hit and people would attack me with their head (i was diagnosed as psychotic). I moved to RVA, and lived for 5 years in recovery. I felt very little light during this time, and had my space invaded constantly by people in corwds or on the road.

Initially, I was very tired and couldn't generate much energy. I spent a lot of time in bed, and prayed and did yoga frequently. I felt less connected (see NY post) then I did before, both to people and to the source.

It is now 2023, and I'm living a more functional life. I live in California and work doing analytics work. I still have energy management issues, but I'm able to operate. I feel a stronger connection to a higehr pwoer, similar to what I felt (didn't know it then) when I was a young teen. I see this as a positive sign. I'm not sure what to expect for the future. Will I be married, what is my career path, what am I good at, what will I look life? These are all questions I still have.

I can't handle another battle period like I did in 2016-2017.

I couldn't work then, I couldn't think clearly.

I'm scared for my future. I'm just working this job, to stay afloat.

I had dreams of starting my own thing. idk
