I might add that this week's Air-Conditioned was the very first episode of my show, and now here it is, the 245th week! It is hard to believe I've done 245 shows, and I felt it would be nice to revisit this debut episode of Air-Conditioned.

Along with Meshell Ndegeocello, I've gathered some really lovely music by Stevie Wonder, Nick Drake, Arooj Aftab, Caetano Veloso, BJ the Chicago Kid, and Kenny Werner & Toots Thielemans, as well as Bill Frisell, Bob Dylan, John McLaughlin, Pentangle, and Max Hatt & Edda Glass.

A winter storm blew through the Pacific Northwest last week. As Prince once wrote, “Sometimes It Snows In April." Meshell Ndegeocello, a deeply soulful creative, sets the tone of this week's Air-Conditioned with her gorgeous interpretation of that Prince song.

Warren Zevon, Richard Bennett, Elton John, Reigning Sound, Joe Pisapia, Igginbottom, The Replacements, and Joe, Marc’s Brother are also on board. The vibe feels right, even if the selection is rather free-range. I enjoyed putting this bag of odds and ends together, and the vibe is mighty nice.

This edition of Air-Conditioned shines some love light on Arthur Alexander, an artist who wrote and created music that made fans out of The Beatles (who recorded his song “Anna”), The Rolling Stones, and Elvis Presley.

Trump Wasted $3 Billion on Tomahawks to Attack Iran. Here's What Americans Could Have Got Instead. The US government has deployed 850 Tomahawk missiles to fight Trump's illegal and brutal war on Iran, and it has done so as it continues to slash funding for public services at home.

Priorities! When will this country get it right? open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

I remember standing in the television department of Goldsmith’s department store in Memphis, Tennessee, among adults, weeping as rows of TVs aired the funeral procession of John F. Kennedy. It was an unforgettable experience that deeply impacted me.

I guess the title “You Never Really Saw Me" underscores the AI creator’s inside “joke.” The thing is, it sounded good enough, not great, that I was genuinely curious. Like I told a friend of mine, this stuff will be all over many TV shows and movies, licensed for next to nothing.

Last night we were at a Hanoi bar, and this early-mid 70s-ish soul music was playing. The voice sounded a little bit like a mash-up of several singers. Shazam didn’t find anything, so I went to the bartender and inquired. Turned out it’s an AI Soul singer.

The Guess Who's "tribute" to The Zombies.

Besides great music, these bands had fantastic distinctively memorable album cover art. In a time before the internet, cell phones, cable TV, the whole album experience of music combined with the jacket art communicated the time’s adventurous spirit.

The flow felt great, so I added Ann Peebles, Isaac Hayes, Isley Brothers, Average White Band, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, plus some great live Marvin Gaye, debuting the music from his then-new 1972 album What’s Going On. If you like this music, this Air-Conditioned episode is for you.

I’ve been in the mood for early-mid 70s Soul. The messages and the heart in so much of this music still has immediacy. I started with Donny Hathaway, an amazingly gifted singer, and quickly rounded up The Staple Singers, War, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Sly & The Family Stone, and ...

Someone needs to chunk this monster into the middle of the carnage … him and Netanyahu …. and while I’m at it … Hegseth, Miller, Noem and the trump family and other war profiteers.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

Pink Floyd - The Fletcher Memorial Home (Lyrics) YouTube video by JeSuisCharly

Almost none of these guys in this administration have ever experienced the raw horror of battle. Pink Floyd’s “The Fletch Memorial Home” comes to mind when I hear these self-absorbed monsters, like our Russian asset in the Oval Office or the "Christian" leading the so-called Department of War.
