Thinking of Kate McGarrigle reminded me of her last performance, a few weeks before she passed. She gave a very moving performance of Proserpina with Martha, Rufus, Anna, and others. https://youtu.be/ITyTquxTjhQ?si=Trn5KLun2b84f4Zs

MORPHINE! Lest we not forget… TWO STRING bass.

A very good and important episode and yet my favorite bit was Daniel highlighting Morphine, one of my most beloved bands of all time.

Where are people going to find reporting on the Epstein files?

Daniel is not exaggerating about the “67” bullshit

Is laura fine related to randy fine? Also - my God Randy Fine’s instagram is so openly and disgustingly violently racist

Agree completely about the intentions but trap is the new-ish-school sound (think Migos, hi-hats on 8ths/16ths [lots of triplets and ratcheting], free associating flow with final words repeated) that modern coke rap (=Griselda) was providing a "new old school" alternative to. Beat-wise, coke rap is typically boom bap in line with 90s Wu Tang (not 80s KRS-One) in part because of Raekwon/Cuban Linx, which is arguably the first coke rap album and which has the wide-screen cinematic feeling that Daniel is rightly mentioning. "Shakey Dog" from Fishscale (2006) is to me a really clear developmental example of the 35mm coke rap sound. Lyrically, musically, and sonically it's an action movie. Trap, and this is not a criticism, sounds more like what digital video used to look like.

I feel like the griselda Benny the butcher stuff is intentionally made for old school guys who want something new. I think the proper term is trap rap? Or trap?
