I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Lazerhawk - King of the Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjvTy2u9qxE

The video is scenes from Bubblegum Crisis. There's not many cool sci-fi/cyberpunk anime like it coming out any more. :(

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Savonarola

David Bowie - Let's Dance

Bowie's biggest selling of all time.  There's a lot of dead spots on this album but the title track, Modern Love, China Girl and his cover of Criminal World are enough to carry the album.  The version of Cat People on the album isn't bad, but the single version is much better.  The other three songs are forgettable, and a sign of what was to come.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

The Marvelettes - Please Mr. Postman

Inkster is a largely African American suburb in Detroit.  In 1961 the high school's talent show had a prize, the first three places would be given an audition at the then fledgling Motown records.  The Marvelettes took fourth place, but with special pleading ended up getting an audition, then got a second audition in front of Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson and then got Motown's first number 1 single on the pop charts.  The two things that struck me on this listen was how slow the tempo is, and how the all of fifteen year old Gladys Horton nails the vocals.

I really wish John Lennon hadn't sung "Deliver de lettah de soonah de bettah" on the Beatles cover, but Gladys makes it work.

The B side So Long Baby sung by Wanda Young, is kind of painful.  Eventually she would go on to become the lead singer of the Marvelettes, but here she's clearly not ready.  (In fact the Marvelettes first called themselves the Cansinyets a pun on "Can't Sing Yet.")
