Arthur Russell is a genius. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O92UBBaiI4 , from one of his dance projects, is, I think, the best song of the disco era. World of Echo is also an incredible album.

There's also his work with The Necessaries : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHHqD7K3JIQ

Just dropping by to say, wow! that is awesome! It's like hearing the song all over again for the first time. Also, I love Arthur Russell. His rediscovery has been going on now for, what? Ten years? That's a nice career for a dead guy. (Oddly, the picture of him at the click-through looks remarkably like an old friend of mine.)

Ooh, music thread, sort of. I can't stop listening to Chance the Rapper's Acid Rap. So, so good. And free. Don't miss it.

Ooh, music thread, sort of. I have a question about Gary Clark, Jr. Basically, I loved this song when it came up on public radio. I almost bought the album, but at the last minute bought something else instead. But then... I realized that it sounds a lot like Lenny Kravitz. Is there ANY way I can get my head back to a place where this song becomes enjoyable again?

ECT?

Electro...cock? therapy?

Ah, it's "convulsive".
