What Have You Done for Me Late...
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings (Daptone DAP-019, 2010)
She was so great. Glad I got to see her in concert once. Her voice could make even dopey white girls shake their hips with serious soul. And Daptone did such a great job of creating an accurate vibe for this, elevating it from beyond pastiche to true pop art like Andy Warhol’s Brillo boxes.
Forscher des Imperial College London haben durch eine Studie festgestellt
dass in europäischen Städten 2025 insgesamt 24.400 Menschen an zu hohen Temperaturen gestorben sind. 16.500 der hitzebedingten Todesfälle (68 %) entfallen auf den Klimawandel

Thanks to @johnbrowntypebeats for reminding me of this gem.
Which reminds me of a good saying:
"I don't argue with people that John Brown would've shot."
And something I need to reread:
"On the Duty of Civil Disobedience"
by Henry David Thoreau

“I’m scared, but I’m still here”
This was my final conversation with #SharonJones —recorded during her last round of radiation, and just before the world lost one of its greatest voices.
We talked about cancer, fear, faith, and funk. About what it meant to watch a documentary of her own life while she was still here to feel the love. About writing “I’m Still Here” in real time with the Dap-Kings, because she was still here—and still working on a new album.

15 years ago today, this album by the magnificent Sharon Jones was released, mastered by yours truly directly off of 1/4" 15ips 2-track analog tape reels at the original Total Sonic Media studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I will always be grateful to the fine folks at Daptone Records for choosing to work with me for a good number of their projects then. Rest In Power Ms. Jones & thank you for the music!
