Um... how can I reconcile my Badu stan-dom with the fact that I 100% did not know this song existed until a few minutes ago!?!?!
With a Bilal feature, no less.
My morning has officially been shook.

"In which the Beat Generation is absorbed by TV and the movies as an as-yet-underground counterculture coalesces around Village coffeehouses. Jonas Mekas sees new things developing. The Living Theatre has a hit "jazz play," *The Connection*, Allan Kaprow stages New York's first Happening, Ornette Coleman introduces *The Shape of Jazz to Come*, and a Village Voice writer envisions a Hipster General Strike."
- #FirstSentences of *Everything is Now: The 1960s New York Avant-Garde -- Primal Happenings, Underground Movies, Radical Pop* by J. Hoberman
Started reading this today. Notes will go here.

Grandma’s rosebush
reminiscent of a Vice Lord’s do-rag.
the unfamiliar bloom in Mrs. Bradley’s yard
banging a Gangster Disciple style blue.
the dandelions all over the park putting on
Latin King gold like the Chicano cats
over east before they turn into a puff
of smoke like all us colored boys.picking dandelions will ruin your hands,
turn their smell into a bitter cologne.--- Opening excerpt from Nate Marshall, "picking flowers"
Full poem is here: https://poets.org/poem/picking-flowers

Made the shared recipe for Breton Cake tonight ---- this was really good!
Had doubts because the batter/dough seemed very dense. But in the end, very tasty. Made with tangerine marmalade. Otherwise kept pretty close to the original recipe.
Next time will eat with some coffee, for sure.
Thanks @ottaross for the suggestion!

Some #Homelab success today:
Finally finished a rough de-duping of my old music files, enough to justify setting up #Navidrome for streaming from my home server.
So I did! Even got it up and running on my phone and my wife's phone. Trying out #Amperfy on my wife's iOS and #Ultrasonic on my GrapheneOS.
So far so smooth!
I wish there was a way for my wife to build her own library out of our super large library (that is mostly my files)... but we can probably find a work around for that later.

I haven't been as good about my #Barnscape and #MorningWalk photos lately --- it's been so cold in the mornings!
So thinking I'll add a few new views to where I typically take my morning walk photos. Here's one candidate -- a different view of the barn, not the most scenic -- along with some milkweed pods I was smitten by this morning, looking abandoned and forlorn.

Between her Front Porch appearance (linked) and her Tiny Desk spot, Jill Scott is killing it on this album roll out.
Of the two, the Front Porch performance is the one though.
Starting w/It's Love (classic!) and running the go go beat motif right through her new "Liftin' Me Up"?!?!
(plus "Whatever" and "Golden" ?!?!)
Ugh, she's the best.

Not sure we're actually in the mood for a new food competition show but we'll give it a go.

"Doin' the Louvre"
Paris, December 1991
For Patricia ZamoraYou're a junkie just like I am.
After we dump your husband in the Louvre's cafe
to sip the steaming tea and chew on his poetry,
we're off like schoolgirls, screeching in duet,
dazzled by the bright eternal gasp of ancient things.We've got no business here, homegirl and compañera,
we've got no business working our mouths around
this sharp, exquisite language, or savoring the sweet
tongue-squeeze of pastries, glossy cakes and shaved chocolate.We're of simpler stock--city and country dust,
collard greens, hopscotch, moonpies, bullet holes
and basement slow dances. We are shamelessly American,
rough street girls with rusty knees, the flip side of cocky
Parisian wisps in slim cashmere coats the color of tobacco.Girlfriend, you and I are *too* much scream for this place,
but you're a junkie just like I am.-- Excerpt from "Doin' the Louvre" by Patricia Smith
