Song Review-Big Titties by Rico Nasty featuring Baauer and Earthgang produced by Kenny Beats by Dan-O When I post this on my personal social media I will have some friend (possibly plural) who clutches their chest with a deep breath offended by the title of this song.

#Bandcampgold-Black Beans by Exile x Choosey
#Bandcampgold-Black Beans by Exile x Choosey by Dan-O The world makes us feel terrible. Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle are dead. Ogres are in power and they don’t even lie to us about how old evil and full of greed/hate they are. Music is necessary, all kinds of music. Black Beans is a beam of light on the…

Song of The Year-Cuz I Love You by Lizzo
Song of The Year- Cuz I Love You by Lizzo By Dan-O This is my favorite first song of the year (it’s from the self-titled album). Sure, Lizzo has a show stopping voice of the kind I would stab an alien for. That is not the most exciting thing about Lizzo. I can’t get enough of…

In depth talks with family, old letters, review of their work, nailing down different periods of life and what they meant. The subject has to be important enough to fuel the biographer.…

Song of The Year-Boys Will Be Boys by Stella Donnelly
Song of The Year-Boys Will Be Boys by Stella Donnelly by Dan-O The debut album by tiny lady Stella Donnelly from Perth Australia has dominated my listening for the last week plus. Album cover is definitely off putting and the subject matter is so tense in its exploration of patriarchal savagery (in both personal and…

Song Of The Year-Young and Invincible by Zacari featuring Lil Yachty by Dan-O If you are old like I am (old enough to call Mark Wahlberg Marky Mark) and you dislike/can’t figure out new school rap and its value I can help. This song can help. If Young and Invincible was a rap song from…

#Bandcampgold-Cover Art by Anderson Paak
#Bandcampgold-Cover Art by Anderson Paak by Dan-O If you didn’t know who Anderson Paak was after summer 2015 I don’t think you’re a hip hop head. When Dr. Dre came out of his cave August 7th 2015 to release Compton everyone in hip hop noted it. Thumbing through the sixteen tracks listed Paak was on six…
