New to me music from last month, including a new 5 Star Song! (of my 4,600 songs, like 160 are 5 stars) And the 4 stars include some really solid R+B 80s/90s covers by Lake Street Dive. Come to think of it "Big Jet Plane" is a cover as well...

5 star:
* Do You Realize?? (Willie Nelson)
Such a beautiful cover of a beautiful song. (The Flaming Lips original is excellent as well, but there's something about Nelson's old and wise vibe.)

4 star:
* Tenderness (Galactic)
* Linger (Lake Street Dive)
* Faith (Lake Street Dive)
* Big Jet Plane (feat. Dabin) (Daniela Andrade)

3 star:
* About Today (The National)
* Time After Time (Iron & Wine)
* ZEN (JENNIE)
* Banana Pancakes (Jack Johnson)
* Experience (BOND)
* Am I the Same Girl? (Swing Out Sister)

NSFW, sorry for the blue language:

Power, power, power! Up here where the world was like a toy beneath me. Where I held the stick like my cock in my hands and there was no one...to say me no!

That passage was quoted in Steven Levy's book "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" (about the spirit of God-like control programmer Ken Williams realized he had over the computer.) I've been thinking about this in the context of how Trump is these days. How the economy 8 billion folks depend on is gonna prosper or more likely suffer because of this one octogenarian's hunch about how tariffs work
