Reba Meyers' solo record to follow this, her second single, later this year! Super good news. I love Meyer's work, but Code Orange has slowly drifted into realms that, while I'll continue to give them a chance to come back, are far afield from what I listen to.
Check out Meyer's BandCamp HERE. Also, a short interview with her can be found HERE.
Watch:
Have not had time to watch much in the last week or so. Three series have been competing for my time and heart: Severance, Yellowjackets Season Three, and a combination of Daredevil: Born Again and a rewatch of the original Daredevil Netflix series, currently nearing the end of the first season. I did, however, have occasion to watch the 2020 Spike Jonze documentary Beastie Boys Story, which I cannot recommend enough, even if you're not a fan.
The format here is Mike D. and Adrock on stage in front of a live audience, with Spike Jonze controlling images and footage on a movie screen behind them as they talk. The show is an intimate, no-holds-barred look at their history, and I cannot commend Diamond and Horowitz enough for facing some of their uncomfortable moments head-on. Also, the love and admiration on display between these two for each other and their fallen comrade Adam Yauch makes for a beautiful framing device for the group's history. Lots of stuff here I didn't know, and I grew up a pretty big fan in the 90s.
And, of course, I had to follow that up with Fight for Your Right (Revisited), which I hadn't watched since it was released.
So much fun just spotting all the cameos, and, of course, even though I'm not generally a fan of most of these gentlemen's brand of humor, here, applied to a topic that resonates, it's just a blast.

Everything starts with or includes transformation of late. Big things on the horizon, I think. Lots of conversations in my life at the moment pertaining to work, home and family. This just tells me something needs to change, but it may not be the most obvious thing.
