Africa

This isn't a post about Africa, in case you were hoping for that. Right now I'm listening to Africa, by D'Angelo, a really amazing song from a really amazing album by a really amazing artist. I'd like to go see Africa some day. I've already seen D'Angelo but I'd like to see him again.  Now I'm listening to Coleman Hawkins' take on Desafinado. We'll see how it stacks up to Stan Getz.
Damn Hawkins can swing. How can something sound so funky and so pretty at the same time. I want to play saxophone like Coleman Hawkins, I'm seriously considering picking it up. Because I don't already have enough on my plate. (drums piano bass jobs essays money food life).
I've got to share this music with people somehow. Like what's the best way to reach the people who need to hear this music? How do I send 8000 songs from my iPod out to people without annoying them?
My goal is to be the human Pandora, and basically step up the playlist game of all the bars/restaurants/clubs that rely on Pandora or Spotify for their background music during dinner. Brianify. Briandora. Panbrian. Pantify? Spotifandora? Could you legally call a music service Spotifandora and not receive a cease and desist from either company? I'll take that as a challenge.

Thought I'd have more to say but I'm all out of ideas. Recap of the day I suppose. Went to war class and Shakespeare, both of which were good, talked about the Battle of the Bulge (which my Grandfather fought in) and Coriolanus. After that I played some piano and went to a pitch class for WKCR, fundraiser coming up! Following that I got food and went to Davis' EC suite, and after much technical difficulties was able to pull up a (legal!) stream of the US vs. Mexico soccer game on his laptop.  The USA won 2-0! Dos a cero! Go USA! Very excited for the Women's World Cup and Gold Cup.
This Coleman Hawkins bossa nova album is extremely good. I'm on the third song now (Samba Para Bean) and man is it good.
My laundry should be done drying in 6 minutes. Here's a double dose for patience, Africa by D'Angelo from Voodoo, and Desafinado by Coleman Hawkins from Coleman Hawkins Plays Bossa Nova and Jazz Samba. Enjoy!
