Recent tribute to You Forgot It In People …

Our minds were positively altered because by You Forgot It In People. Twenty years later after first hearing, there still are tracks that bring us to tears.

TL; DR: ♥️ Middle Kids and Mduo Moctar deliver.

We appreciate all of the artists covering this challenging work. There are a couple of gems on this album from folks perhaps unfamiliar to you.

For the original album tracks having the most emotional impact upon us, it’s a challenge for anyone to offer something either new or even sufficiently affirming given the source material and the variety of textures in all the live performances by Broken Social Scene.

There were two such occasions:

  • Cause = Time by the Middle Kids
  • Stars and Sons by Toro y Moi

The performance of this epic song is likely adjacent to its recording. The audience discovered the conviction from the performers in real time.

Jenny doing all the things, Mike Mogis being essential and Blake with perfect color counterpoint to Jenny, and then there’s that bridge passage…

Huzzah GenZ Collage Radio!

Every-other Thursday’s WMBR Breakfast of Champions DJ, Abby Lyda, has been treating listeners with expert bin-diving finds, recalling the exemplary talents of a former Thursday stalwart, Keith Sawyer.

Firstly, Abby cited artists like Low Cut Connie and Emmit Rhodes

I’m also comforted anyone under 25 years old knows, for example, the early works of Todd Rundgren.
