( but the lord said / go to the devil )
so i am processing my FEELINGS re: 2.3, but fandom, fandom, if you take one thing and one thing only from this episode, let it be this: ALL TIMES ARE GOOD TIMES FOR NINA SIMONE. I AIN'T EVEN PLAYING. CAN SHE BECOME THE NEXT FANDOM THING? BECAUSE SHIT YOU GUYS. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.
allow me to demonstrate.
sinnerman, as heard in 2.3. settle in y'all, THIS SONG TAKES A MO.
feeling good. probably her most well-known song. you have probs heard it, even if you've not really heard her otherwise.
i think it's gonna rain today. use this one in your performance art or staged readings if you want to reduce the audience to tears. Based On True Events.
july tree, my actual favorite song of hers. an odd choice, i've gathered, but i can't not include it. though now that i think about it, i may have posted this exact same video here before. oh well? ENJOY IT TWICE.
( mos def + rock n roll ) "you might dig on the rolling stones, but they could never ever rock like nina simone". FACTS.
( talib kweli and hi-tek/reflection eternal + for women ) this is a modern remix of nina's "four women". i heard this when i was...nineteen? twenty? it is probably why i started listening to nina simone for reals because i was like THIS IS AMAZEBALLS, SOURCE MATERIAL, SOURCE MATERIAL /NERD.
you're welcome.
