It’s black history month. Support your black friends and learn the origin of like every American popular musical genre everrr.
Once I’m done with the 40 + genres, we’re diving into the diasporaaaa.
And then at some point I’m talking cash shit about the summer of love and what was cooler than stinky trust fund kids…I mean hippies in San Francisco... I’ll give you some hints, same time period but across the bridge in Oakland. There’s also 1980s Washington DC, fuck it even 1960s Detroit.
I just really fucking hate the Grateful Dead fans. Sorry. Not sorry.
Perfect listening for cleaning the house and doing art projects.
Tell a friend.

Especially the early episodes w/ the songs integrated into the episode.
Host and a special guest go through the history of a band from growing up through their breakup and what they are doing now with in-depth analysis of it. Episodes are usually 3+ hrs.
Drove up to MassMOCA area from Boston a couple years ago and crushed the episode on Dave Matthews Band. I’m linking the one on Fugazi which I listened on a drive to IKEA a couple years ago. I listen to bands I’m already into or ones that I’m interested in learning more about.

I’m working on a podcast about the 1990s for work and went full method so been listening to a lot of ‘90s music which led me to this podcast.
The host Rob Harvilla goes on a seemingly unrelated tangent for the first like 15-20 minutes of the episode but always connects it back to the main song/artist in a fun and interesting way. So far I’ve listened to the eps about Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Hole (on an early 90s alt rock kick lol) and they've all been excellent! Planning to listen to many more.

Two academics discuss dance music and counterculture in their very academic way! They’re so knowledgeable about music history and I love the Way they contextualize their discussions.
You’ll also come away with some great tracks.
It’s very episodic- you can jump around and pick a topic that interests you if you don’t want to listen to the entire series, but it might be a good idea to at least start with the Welcome episode if you aren’t familiar with David Mancuso’s The Loft party, as that will be referenced often.

Might fuck around and clean a bathroom or write a few paragraphs for a short story.

You SHOULD be rinsing your rice before you cook it.
But if you aren’t today is the PERFECT day to start.
Rinse your rice in cold water to get the starch off it, agitate the rice. save that milky colored water in a large container. Keep rinsing the rice until it’s clear.
Cook your rice and eat it.
Let the rice water sit overnight so that the hard minerals evaporate.
You can dilute the rice water with more reg water to dilute it (like if you have HELLA plants like I do) but stir it up bc it might settle.
(You can either add filtered water OR you can add more water before you let the hard minerals evaporate)
Now you have a natural and free fertilizer for your plants. Use it all in one day tho.
Repeat once a month, every other month or when your plant babies need some extra love especially during the winter months.
