You’ve never heard an electric harp? Let's fix that with Dorothy Ashby’s funky, soulful, underappreciated album <em><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1XEPKavl3nlI2qVt8HuA5n">Afro-Harping</a> </em>(1968)<em>.</em></p> <p>Just listen to the first few seconds of Ashby’s take on “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDUttzMQfH4">The Look of Love</a>” on YouTube. If you don’t instantly love it, you can tell me I’m wrong. 🎵</p> https://hunterward.micro.blog/2024/06/16/japanese-funk-and.html Sun, 16 Jun 2024 17:21:37 -0500 http://hunterward.micro.blog/2024/06/16/japanese-funk-and.html <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scQuAp2i1to">Japanese Funk and Soul That Will Brighten Up Your Day</a> 🎵</p> <p>My Analog Journal plays fantastic selections from enviable vinyl collections. The sound, video, and overall vibe on these videos makes for perfect summer listening.</p> https://hunterward.micro.blog/2023/10/12/going-back-to.html Thu, 12 Oct 2023 15:53:30 -0500 http://hunterward.micro.blog/2023/10/12/going-back-to.html <p>Going back to songwriting basics. I can feel it: I’m about to break down my whole skill set, service all the little pieces, and (hopefully) put it all back together again ⚙️ 🖤</p> https://hunterward.micro.blog/2023/10/08/listening-to-book.html Sun, 08 Oct 2023 00:01:01 -0500 http://hunterward.micro.blog/2023/10/08/listening-to-book.html <p>Listening to <em>Book of Silk</em> by Tin Hat Trio. 🎵</p> <p>This album feels like a silent movie score performed by an ensemble of artists playing strings, horns, and woodwinds in off-kilter chamber music compositions and arrangements. Perfect for reading horror.</p>
