I’m holding out hope for another space-time (Heaven) For now I am counting the days in the hours of my life Oh the hours tongue tied (Ahh-ahh) Paraphernalia is on your mind And paranoia turns you blind Paraphernalia is everywhere Can we escape from the delirium?

Today is the 100th birthday of jazz and pop singer Ella Fitzgerald, who’d started out winning Harlem talent shows as a teenager. She had her first hits with Chick Webb’s big band before going out on her own in the 1940s. The composer songbooks she recorded for Verve starting in the mid-50s are definitive recordings of vocal standards. Fitzgerald toured the world for decades, and died in 1996. Jazz critic Kevin Whitehead says Fitzgerald at her best is as good as it gets. Listen.
Nevada hip-hop group The Lique emanates joy. Rasar Amani’s rap centers on the refrain “I am love / I am peace / I am joy / That can never be destroyed,” and his performance is irrepressibly upbeat. The band, in matching suits, does an impressive job recreating some of the standard electronic elements of a West Coast hip-hop beat on acoustic instruments. Pianist Jason Corpuz and guitarist Sean Carbone use melodicas for the lead synth line; drummer Jeremy Klewicki creates a dynamic beat with an array of auxiliary percussion.
Most importantly, this is a band that knows how to embody the message of its music. This is a happy, hopeful three minutes of jazzy hip-hop:

Tito & Tarantula - When you cry
So, there’s this amazing little jazz ditty in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” called “Blind Pig”, after the name of the speakeasy. The full song (which is only 1:40 or so - I wish it were longer!!!!), sung by Emmi, is on the second disc on the deluxe version of the OST.
I’ve been obsessed with it since I saw it two nights ago, so I wanted to do my own little cover.
