Listen
The Dirty Projectors, “Stillness is the Move.”
Love, love, LOVE this song.
“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”

Jimi Hendrix, “Rainy Day, Dream Away.” (1968)
“Rainy day, rain all day
Aint no use in gettin uptight
Just let it groove its own way
Let it drain your worries away yeah
Lay back and groove on a rainy day hey
Lay back and dream on a rainy day”
This is for you, New York.
“Let’s drink to California, way out by the sea, Where a woman’s ass, and a whiskey glass, Made a horse’s ass of me”

Listen
Marlena Shaw, “California Soul” (1969)
I’ve been in California all week and always think of this song when visiting.
“Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
But you can’t forget
From sundown to sunset
It’s all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It’s gonna grab a hold on you
California soul, California soul”
