Album Favorite

"I’m just obsessed by Lionel Bart. He’s just an amazing character. When you get someone like him who really understood Dickens, you’re away, it’s a chain of brilliant people. I think these songs are very similar to what dad was writing, I mean he pre-empted him, Lionel Bart, but ‘Pam’s Moods’ and Oliver are really similar in the construction of language. The language is so fucking brilliant in Oliver, the melodies, it’s just unbelievable songwriting. That 1960 production, Ron Moody who plays Fagin is particularly brilliant."

Movie Favorite

"House Party is a favorite of mine because Kevin and I, when we first started hanging out actually, we started watching that movie. I watched it with him, he sort of introduced me to it. It has Martin Lawrence who’s amazing, and some of my favorite quotes are from that movie. That whole house party dance with Kid n Play where they do the kicking and dancing, me and my buddies used to go to parties and try to do that and it’s obnoxious."

I'm pretty sure this took place before the Steel and Stone series? But if so, i dont remember our envoy being mentioned in it, but i could be wrong as i think i was pretty much only really interested in Ash and Piper's relationship.

Never the less, i did enjoy reading more of Lyre--and Ash made a few appearances--as he was always an intriguing character with his amazing spell weaving.

I look forward to reading the rest of this trilogy very soon.

Alicia Keys recommended Abbey Road by The Beatles in Music (curated)

 
Abbey Road by The Beatles
Abbey Road by The Beatles
1969 | Rock

"For my last Black Ball (which is the fundraiser for my organization Keep a Child Alive) we did a tribute to George Harrison and played a lot of Beatles songs. It was the first time I really had an opportunity to breakdown each song and see why the Beatles are so amazing. They have this way of creating something simple and deep at the same time. Something easy and complex simultaneously is actually mind blowing—how good they are! This album is surely one of my faves."

Book Favorite

"The narrative around contemporary Africa’s cosmopolitan cities, exciting young people, vibrant artists, and rapidly evolving promise is, happily, becoming increasingly familiar to people around the globe. In this amazing book, David Adjaye looks at architectural space across the continent, dividing it into regions defined by climates and cultures, rather than artificially-derived national boundaries. Here the Maghreb, the desert, the Sahel, the forest, the Savanna and grasslands, and the mountains and high fields, are the defining features of how different architectures throughout Africa can be witnessed."
