Return 2 Rock:

Curated playlist highlighting Black musicians actively making rock music as an act of reclamation.  Rock is one of the many genres Black people pioneered but are often barred from, ridiculed, and belittled for listening to it. Without the contributions of Black musicians like Chuck Barry, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Little Richard and Tina Bell (to name the few pictured above) who laid the literal groundwork for this genre, rock wouldn’t be where it is today. Cheers to paving the way and continuing to make wonderful strides 🎉

♫ IT192: All Day Breakfast⁣

✎ @stephenkissel⁣

“Well, breakfast foods have always been ones I could (and often do) eat for any meal — they’re some of the best! That made me want to put together a set kinda inspired by them, but also that would make for a good listen while cooking.⁣

⁣

It took a little while to figure out the right order for things though! I knew where I wanted to start and end it, but wasn’t sure exactly where to put the rest. So I started thinking about making breakfast on the weekend and feeling a little sluggish after sleeping in a little.⁣

⁣

The mix ended up a bit slower at the start and picks up after the first ‘cup of coffee’. It has a little more energy in the middle and starts to slow down again at the end… like you might feel after scarfing down a big meal.”⁣

I’ve made a playlist for Illustrated tapes 🎶 The theme is books and all the songs mentions books, reading, libraries, librarians, or authors in someway 📚📚📚 You can listen to the playlist on Spotify: IT157: Bookish

“Illustrator, designer and art director Guy Field responds to an institutionalised sense of confusion shared by many among our generation. How do you feel when on the face of it things have never been better, but even a cursory glance at the world around you reveals so much that has gone wrong? Sometimes a little noise therapy is needed in these trying times and Guy’s tape provides just that with tracks that channel a conflicting feeling of hope and turmoil that we’re becoming all to familiar with.”

I made this playlist for Illustrated Tapes.
