Been on a Simon and Garfunkel kick today. Figured I'd bump one of the old threads but there really aren't any.

If you liked the album graceland and haven't seen the doc/movie check it out. Was really interesting even into the small details of the composition of some of the songs.

It's on netflix. Or was at least

Bails edit but related. The kid dropping to his face at 1:10 is my good friend from back in the day. Him and the other "older kids" pushed me when I was little and probably tried a lot of shit I wouldn't have if it wasn't for them.

In the mood today. Not sure why I don't listen more often. That said it's nice to have such a broad spectrum of music that you can just end up here or there depending on the day, and even bust out some stuff you haven't played in far too long but when you listen to it it's just like it was yesterday.

There is plenty of good rap music imo. The shit now days, not so much, but whatever.

Now you have your generic radio pop, generic radio rock, and generic radio "party rap".

Music that only lasts until the next mediocre song come out.

But there is some solid music throughout the different genres.
