“There’s nothing more masculine than a strong man supporting a strong woman,” Eddie Vedder told a sold-out crowd during Pearl Jam’s Saturday night show in Las Vegas. Vedder was responding to the divisive speech given by NFL player Harrison Butker at Benedict College last weekend in which the placekicker said, among other things, “to be unapologetic in your masculinity.” Heavy.com has more, including the NSFW video of Vedder underscoring what he called “the irony” of Butker’s speech. https://flip.it/mvgJqd #Culture#Entertainment#Music#PearlJam#EddieVedder
The famous #graduation song is a send-off fit for a king! It was originally written for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1901, but evolved to be used during ceremonies for accomplished graduates.
#DonBryant was born in Memphis, grew up singing in church and was a major contributor to the #Memphis Blues/Soul sound of the 60s and 70s as both writer and performer, and continues to be.
I'd appreciate if you could share this around. As someone opposed to #Spotify for a dozen reasons there was only #Bandcamp that was semi-ethical & gave musicians a fair deal. Bandcamp is under new ownership, had big layoffs, changed their terms & are starting playlists (likely to fill with AI music?). Thankfully coops such as Mirlo offer a place to share our music that doesn't simply enrich dubious tech giants. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mirlo/mirlo #newMusic#streaming#coops#music#kickstarter
2010 post-rock album from Nashville, Tennessee. Leans into the chamber music influence harder than most post-rock, with a heavy string presence throughout. Compared to their debut, the band seems to have crafted a more unique sound, although this album does tend to sound a bit too homogeneous for its own good.
My picks: "Return to Us," "Sword and Shield," "From This Vantage"
