ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.91

Pink. Stupid Girls

This is a great bit of feminist pop (and the video is great too); a driving pop rhythm backs a politically engaged Pink bemoaning the way that women's aspirations are narrowed by popular culture. Just goes to show that pop can be political (and doesn't have to sacrifice musical appeal, to be so)... and is perhaps more often political that we might assume. Punch that fist in the air!

“Mr. Hockney teaching me how to paint a pool” (2021) 🏖️
Oil on canvas, 138x168 cm
Private collection

As a figurative painter I can mix fiction and reality however I please, and I can create any scenario with anyone, real or fictional, or in between.

Like learning to paint a pool by young David Hockney by his LA pool.

ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.89

Eddie Cochran. Three Steps to Heaven

This lovely mid-temp love song from Eddie Cochran is a wonderful piece of 1950s pop. The relationship between Cochran's guitar & vocals with his backing singers is just sublime. Its short & sweet, and is the sound of summer for evermore.

[a little bit of trivia: Sting sings a great solo version in the 1980 indie film Radio On, set in Bristol]

Describing Mejoann’s (⁠@meljoann⁠) musical style is both impossible and ever-unsufficient. Any attempt will always only result in trying to pidgeon-holing it, hence not doing it any justice.

This being said, I am a big fan of Prince’s 80s albums from “Purple Rain” to “Lovesexy” for their stunning, amazing, awesome innovative energy. This very same awe-inspiring creative boundlessness and abundance of ideas is what to me makes Meljoann one of today’s most inspiring artists.

See if you won’t feel the same when you listen to their new album “Status”, released 14 March:
