Unbeliever, that wins just for opening with Sing Sing Sing.

LOVE me some big band and swing!
Yeah, swing and boogie just makes me want to dance!
I just came across this one, never had heard it before:

This music video is brilliant. I'm not even a fan of hiphop

Here is an article I found interesting on why this video is effective and disturbing. It hijacks our brains.

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/05/this-is-america-childish-gambino-donald-glover-kinesthetic-empathy-dance/559928/

... The scientist Vittorio Gallese, who was part of the team of researchers who discovered mirror neurons, describes kinesthetic empathy as “involuntary and automatic.” Therein lies the dilemma for viewers of “This Is America,” who might recoil at the chaos and yet feel a strong impulse to dance anyway. One man, recording his reaction, summed up this tension when he remarked: “I’m lowkey scared of him right now. But I have to bop my head.”

This kind of empathy means viewers cannot, really, just be passive observers. The video’s juxtaposition of carefree dancing with carnage and disorder, the vacillation between the gospel-Afrobeat hybrid and the harsher, sparse rap reflects the discord in the audience’s bodies, our faces perhaps displaying discomfort while our bodies betray us. In doing so, “This Is America” perverts the positive potential of dance’s collective nature, taking it from something celebratory to something far more disturbing that implicates us all.

I was just about to post that video, just because of how much conversation it is starting (and the fact that it is an amazing song).

I'm going back to "electronica" lately.  Tangerine Dreams is great.  No words to get in the way of the music...  Real headset stuff.  If I want lyrics, I go back to Simon&Garfunkle or Bob Dylan.

Latest attempt at becoming a producer. I think there is a little progress...

I haven't heard that for a llooooonggggg time, but that is a good one.  Smooth rhythm, soft voice, good lyrics...
