Apple Music folks: you'll notice your playlist is only 99 songs. That's because this William Parker/Hamid Drake/Cooper-Moore track is missing from the Apple catalog. It goes between Zuli and Joanne Robertson/Dean Blunt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXU31xeYcHA
My son's favorite song when he was 0-1 year old was Arp's "New Pleasures," which I found from your newsletter! Now he's shifted to Grateful Dead's "Truckin'" because he loves trucks, though he finds space for Miriam Makeba's "Pata Pata" from time to time (which I found originally through the BBC's "Soul Music" podcast). I've found it extremely difficult to keep up with new music with two kids now, but I'm excited to see how the new one interacts with the music his brother enjoyed. Keep on digging---I'm hoping to get into some of your old lists and newsletters over the holidays when I have a little more time.
Yeah he wanted to take my phone into daycare with "Truckin" still playing on it and I had to say...no, buddy, we can't take that line about Sweet Jane with the cocaine and the Vitamin C in there, and also, it's not polite to force your music on other people. But yeah, what a jam, really. Listening to a song 50 times with your kid is one way to really did in on why it's great, if it's great like "Truckin'" and "New Pleasures."
Haha I like how also kids think that the song only comes from one specific phone or one specific speaker. But yes I think ultimately not a daycare song wherever it is playing from
Thanks for this playlist. I'm much an album guy than a song guy usually but I'm enjoying it quite a lot, thanks for all the discoveries, I knew at most a tenth of all those songs.

Thank you for the fastidiousness, as always 🫡
I think I’ve gotten better at Apple Music over time
Thank you for the playlist! So many songs I did not know.

Had not thought about the Truckin/trucks connection and I think that's genius.
So grateful you're subscribed and listening. Here's an older mix I particularly like... https://deepvoices.substack.com/p/deep-voices-45

Or maybe fifteen, that still makes 85 to discover.
