Song of the day: It's back!
Someone recently asked me what happened to Song of the Day. Until she mentioned it, I'd completely forgotten it existed. My depression has been so debilitating, I forgot my own feature!
When I'm depressed my memory gets worse. (NB: Cognitive impairment during depression is the rationale lots of ECT-industry hos give for the high incidence of memory loss from the treatments. They claim you can't tell what's from the shock and what's from the depression, so all those people claiming serious memory loss are just confused. Ridiculous.)
My memory is terrible to begin with (yes, from the shock treatments), but when I'm depressed an extra blanket is piled onto the bed and I'm almost smothered by a lack of comprehension of even simple things. I guess that's what happened with Song of the Day.
But now it's back. Did you miss it? One person did, anyway.
Today's song is from the soundtrack to Dave Chappelle's Block Party. The CD is very Philly (it features Jill Scott, aka Jilly From Philly, and the Roots and was co-produced by ?uestlove). The whole thing is pretty dope (heh—I said "dope") but I guess I'd pick Mos Def's performance of his powerful song "Umi Says" as my favorite. But then again, I'm kind of blown away by "You Got Me" featuring the Roots, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. So Led Zeppelin/Grace Slick!
I can't wait to see the movie.
