I liked Maggie Rogers a lot before seeing her live last weekend at Outside Lands for the first time, but post live performance I've become obsessed. She's just so adorably humble. She even said, "Fuck Trump" in the cutest way during her OSL set. This Tiny Desk Concert captures her spirit and features some incredible renditions of her hits.

It portrays four very different people, who happen to be black, living day-to-day. And I think you can’t just group them together. Even though they all grew up in the same city, there’s a spectrum of experience, class, thought, and values.

You only have to forgive once. To resent you have to do it all day, every day, all the time. You have to keep remembering the bad things. It’s too much work.‬

GQ spoke to Russ as he prepares to take the spotlight for himself in OKC.

“Westbrook went out a lot on his own. He was looking for a new hobby, so he started hanging around a bowling alley, taking pointers from a pro there named Anne Marie. Wasn't long before he was bowling regularly in the 180s, 190s.”

The image of Russell Westbrook bonding with a pro bowler lady amuses me to no end

Well put, Jay. If only the money and resources given to “fight” the war on drugs could go towards rehabilitation programs and schools instead.

The idea of old white politicians rapping in the voices of El-P and Killer Mike is brilliant and hilarious. From the vid description:

DJ Shadow has unveiled the music video for the song “Nobody Speak” featuring Run The Jewels, a standout track from his latest album ‘The Mountain Will Fall,’ out now on Mass Appeal Records. The video depicts a meeting of leaders that quickly descends into chaos, a scene not unlike what is unfolding in governments around the globe. It also features appearances by DJ Shadow and Run The Jewels.

Says DJ Shadow: "We wanted to make a positive, life-affirming video that captures politicians at their election-year best. We got this instead.” Says Run The Jewels’ Killer Mike: "It's such a dope video. It's what I really wish Trump and Hillary would just do and get it over with...And even in that fight I think Hillary would win - and that's not an endorsement."

I’m incredibly late to the party, but I’ve only just gotten into BADBADNOTGOOD and have found this gem of a remix of one of my favorite songs from 2014, Seasons (Waiting on You) by Future Islands. It’s so rare that a remix turns out better than the original. I sent this to a friend who before listening, said “There is no way to beat the original”, and then quickly texted me “holy fuck 30 seconds in”. Holy fuck, indeed.

This is Kaytranada’s Weight Off ft. BADBADNOTGOOD. What a beautiful blend of jazz, hip-hop, and electronica.

Kehlani, Kween of the Bay Area, killed it at Outside Lands last weekend. I’m loving her track on the Suicide Squad OST.
