The Low End Theory and Nevermind were both released exactly 30 years ago today. 🤯 Sep 24, 1991. One on the east coast, one on the west coast. The second studio album for each group. What a time!

Posting a few favorite Dad clips on his 80th birthday! Funnily, I first heard “If You Want Me To Stay” on the Dead Presidents (1995) soundtrack. When I was little we only had 2-3 of his records in the house, so I didn’t hear Fresh until I was a teen.

My granddad is 99 years young today! This month after ace-ing the written test, his drivers license was renewed for another 5 yrs. He said to me “my drivers license is going to outlive me!” I said “no, you’re just gonna have to go back and take that test again when you’re 104!”

50 yrs ago • May 21, 1971 • Marvin Gaye released What’s Going On. Exploring injustice, poverty, ecology and global conflict, it’s still exceptionally relevant today. A 35 min concept album, it flows beautifully when played in full.

Upon the release of Stevie Wonder's "Innervisions" in 1973, one critic wrote "he went and put together a concept album of homogeneous music and rather typical lyrics... there are no songs on Innervisions which are truly outstanding."
Don't believe critics.

Today I learned of the concept of “regrief” which really applies to this. Grieving the loss of a person when it happens, but grieving again over the years, as our lives continue, and we have new feelings/realizations of the impact of the loss of that person.
