Despite having a multi-billion-dollar net worth, you decided to stop paying artists for songs with less than 1,000 streams (months before giving Joe Rogan $250,000,000). So I made a playlist of 300+ great songs with less than 1,000 streams to give them more visibility and plays.

@murphdogg29 @RollingStone Thank you for this Keith, you’re a legend.

I've always wondered how the cover photo of Gravediggaz - "6 Feet Deep" was photographed (pre-photoshop) so I asked the photographer:

when i saw sy hersh (who broke the abu ghraib story) speak last year, he was very bleak about this. he said that if the abu ghraib whistleblower had come to him in recent years, he would not expect the story to make a difference today the way it did in 2004.

Album of the day. As much as the "smooth jazz" tag tends to get overused, there's no way to deny the greatness of George Benson's incomparable artistry and his 1976 commercial breakthrough, Breezin', which was released 50 years ago today. Always known for his exquisitely laidback guitar style, in the vein of Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian, George Benson employed his Stevie Wonder-like singing on this 1976 bestseller, propelling him from a respected jazz guitarist into a mainstream pop and R&B superstar. Helmed by the great Tommy LiPuma with Claus Ogermann's lavish orchestrations, Benson and other noted players, such as the great Ronnie Foster, Harvey Mason, Phil Upchurch, Jorge Dalto, and Ralph MacDonald, created a pleasantly mellow sound that weaved his jazz roots with pop and funky R&B influences that were quite popular at that time.

@anthrtime Big Respect to Gee Street Records, where I worked for years - the owner Jon Baker was a visionary and he'd always find room in budgets for proper art and design, as well as photography. Miss those days so much in a world full of awful, embarrassing sepia-tone AI "art" covers

the fact that they weren’t physically grouped for this cover, but the photographer took individual shots of them instead, then resized them into a collage to create this two-point perspective effect. all by hand and pre-photoshop

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

I was just thinking how objectively evil it is to do a laughing vertical video about a kill list. I think we’ve grown numb to just how depraved and glib the current US-Israeli murder spree is. It’s so naturalized, banal and not really commented on much anymore in US media.

Excellent message from Iranian FM that brutally exposes the hypocrisy of the world

RIP Shock G. He would have loved this.

alice coltrane possibly has the greatest discography of all time. every album offers something special, even the ones that are often overlooked

Genuinely staggering when you read the numbers available or asked for war when entire social programs get killed if there’s a possibility that a dollar may go to a poor person who they see as undeserving.

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

Some screenshots from Prince Interactive (1994). This game is so strange and beautiful in parts.

Hello. I wrote an essay about a Prince-themed adventure game from 1994. It's like Myst, but better because you go to Paisley Park. Here's the story of Prince Interactive. 💜🎸 shy.center/p/prince-inter…
