CIVL Station Manager Aaron Levy watched the Oscars Sunday night and was in bed before 11!
Public Enemy – “Fight The Power”
It took seeing that this epic rebel-anthem was written just for Do The Right Thing to make me realize that I need to do this shuffle on Sorry To Bother You, the Boots Riley stroke of genius that may unseat Lee as the most visionary black filmmaker in Hollywood.
Demi Lovato – “Sorry, Not Sorry”
I want to apologize for the “crabs-in-a-bucket” attitude I’ve been struggling with wherein Lee’s recent and emphatic statement pales in comparison to the wonderment and splendor of STBY — it’s just so many steps further. So much more surreal and full of opportunities to draw your own conclusions.
Weezer – “Why Bother”
If I was in Spike’s position to start this Oscar season, I’d definitely be asking myself the query in this song’s title, having been snubbed and flubbed so many times already on the same stage for so many different works. Like others before him, now a penny for his thoughts.
Tunic – “Dry Heave”
This song gets shuffled for one reason and one reason only, and it’s not because it has to do with the week’s theme. It’s because Joel Robertson-Taylor is sarcastic in the office, and the lyrics here are “You are trash / Joel, Joel / you shouldn’t look me in the eye.”
