Rolling Stone's 153rd greatest album of all time
Superb hip hop album. I was pleasantly surprised to find out Q-Tip was in ATCQ, having loved his contribution to the Beastie Boys' Ill Communication album and appearances on a range of other artists' albums.
This was a great listen overall, particularly Scenario (my daughter loves Pitch Perfect and the start of this song is briefly sung by Fat Amy in one of the song battles).

"It’s everything! This film also captures an exciting time in American classical ballet. It’s like it’s frozen in time, this magical period in the late ’70s and early ’80s when ballet dancers were rock stars. I loved it even more later in life because, once I moved to New York, I ended up living with Isabel Brown, whose life the story it’s loosely based on. Her daughter, Leslie, stars in the movie opposite Mikhail Baryshnikov."

"A beauty supply store owner of a certain age loses her husband, and thinks that’s the end – but her friends rally around her, and various members of her complicated family (her sister, her daughter, the stepson who’s come into her life as an adult) still need her love and competence. A funny, moving story with some smart things to say about aging, mental illness, and how a mother’s work is never done."

Kate Morton’s newest novel “The Clockmaker’s Daughter” spans nearly 160 years, where one home in the English countryside and its rich and infamous history has led to a slew of stories and mysteries, including a tragic death and the loss of a priceless heirloom neckless, but there’s only one woman who knows the truth.
