Sugar Pie DeSanto - I Want to Know (1960)

Sugar Pie is one of my faves, and this is one of my favorites.  Oakland soul.

"Is That The Way God Planned It?”

Tommy Tucker assured his place in American Music’s tapestry when he released the Top Twenty Hit, “Hi-Heel Sneakers” in 1964. Recorded in New York City and leased to Chess Record’s rocker & roll subsidiary, Checker. Funkier than a fashion abortion should be, it’s got a Jimmy Reed-esque loping rhythm that’s damn infectious. It’s been covered by everyone, ripped off by everyone else, and a response song from Chicago Soul Queen Sugar Pie DeSanto, “Slip-In Mules (No Hi-Heel Sneakers) reached 48 on the Billboard charts.

This song has nothing to do with that. A heavy-duty dose of bluesy soul, Tucker sounds like an entirely different singer. His voice booms and the song’s almost a gospel number as it looks in desperation at every way the world can run one down. This can’t be the best of all possible worlds, in other words, so it might as well be a solid jam.

Day Seven Hundred and Two

And make me know it's not The way they claim it, oh, yeah Now let me tell you something

All I wanted you to be true, honey Love me like you say you do, oh, yeah And I won't care for what they say Instead, I'll turn my head and walk away But if it's true, you know what to do

Do I make myself clear? Do I make myself clear?

Sugar Pie DeSanto - Enemy (1984)

I actually saw Sugar Pie back in the 80s in a divey West Oakland blues club. She was fantastic.  Apparently she recorded a bunch of tracks in 1974 that didn’t get released until 1984 on the Hello, San Francisco LP.  Or at least that’s what happened as far I can figure out.  This song is a lost classic.

I followed all the leaders to their make believe thrones

i was today years old when i learned sugar ray is the name of a band and not a singular singer. what the fuck?

#and also not at all the genre or time period i thought. i think i kind of combined johnnie ray and sugar pie desanto in my head bc i assumed #like a 60s r&b singer or something. huh

The Markup did a huge crunchy report about how they figured out poorer, less white neighborhoods got slower, more expensive internet than their wealthy white neighbors, and a more accessible writeup.

they do absolutely exquisite data visualization.

good data viz really makes a fuckin difference. this is damning!!! look at this shit!!!

and none of the ISPs had anything productive to say about their methodology!!! not literally bulletproof but pretty damn fuckin close, since it's pulling price and address info directly from ISP sites.

watching

Saloum (2021, dir. Herbulot). this is a West African terror film with a good dollop of acid western stylization to create the world's tensest dinner parties as a curse does what curses do. i really really loved this bc if we take a "western" as any movie with a group of mercenaries in an arid colonized land, it is a fun take on what a modern spaghetti western can be with all the visual flair and pathos i love about this subgenre when it's good.

this is the kind of film tarantino loves to rip off. Herbulot cites two video games as direct influence and they are rdr2 and metal gear solid v.

i do want to underscore that the director is very clear about his "terror" categorization:

But the cursed king that they're talking about, it's a real story. It's real mythology. That is from the Saloum. And so this story is real. This myth is real. This curse is real. Now beyond that, what's the curse and how does it work? I don't know yet. I don't want to know (laughs). But that was our starting point. It was essential for me that, if we were going to shoot the Saloum region, we wanted to be as respectful as we could be, especially for [collaborator] Pamela, because that's her birth region.

this is a really fucking tight eighty minutes. apparently this was originally closer to three hours long, with a lot of backstory about the Hyenas (a gang of mercenaries extracting a drug lord and a briefcase full of gold) and Awa (the girl they meet in a tourist camp when their plane comes down in the desert after sabotage).

this is a film, like all my favorite spaghetti westerns, that is very concerned with revenge and what makes a hero. it frames most of this during the world's tensest series of dinner parties at this camp as they try to get fuel and resin to fix their plane. and then, of course, things go sideways.

this is a very beautiful and well-made movie (and not just Good For A Budget Movie, just straight up a good lookin movie) with a lot of care put into framing and setting up shots. the director used to be a comic book artist and used to shoot music videos, so the framing and shot setup is really thoughtful. this movie is simply fun to watch. it is very good at holding and building tension, everything unravels in slow motion until it doesn't and then it's a level of your favorite first-person shooter. it does suffer from the "the monster isn't actually as scary as the anticipation of seeing the monster" but this group of mercs looks so fuckin sick all the time it more than makes up for it imo. yes he is wearing white dishwashing gloves paired with a machete. also versace pants and shoes.

this podcast episode was very helpful bc their guest is from the Gambia and had a ton of important and useful context to give. this is fundamentally a "recap the movie and do some bits about it" podcast so your tolerance may vary.

i would strongly recommend signing up for a free week of Shudder with a burner email and watching this movie legally, bc it will almost certainly never see wide release :(

how'd i find this: like many other things, this is indirectly @morrak 's fault. last year he said "hey have you listened to this podcast episode dunking on the hyperloop" to which i said "no i have not" and then fell into the alice caldwell-kelly podcast cinematic universe. her podcast Kill James Bond is not my favorite, bc it is mostly a podcast recapping spy films and doing bits about them, which i have a limited tolerance for, but it is very good at going WOW THERE'S A LOT OF RAPE IN THIS BOND FILM and reminding me i should not rewatch literally any of the older movies, as much as i love daniel craig's outings.

i did nick valentine's final companion quest in fo4 and cried my fucking eyes out, again. why won't they let me romance the robot and why is he trapped in this incredibly mediocre game :(((

making

red lentil soup with lemon bc i realized if i buy a bunch of soup-serving-size-i-like plastic off brand tupperware, i can have microwaveable soup lunch for much cheaper than just buying a lot of canned soup. and it does not require any more prep than setting an alarm to take a unit of soup out of the freezer and into the fridge the night before, which is good bc my brain is fuckin fried by 1 PM.

the leek and potato soup i made last month did Not freeze well. it's like edible but the texture is...not ideal. the internet said lentil soups freeze well, and even though this recipe is from the nyt it looked reasonable enough with some modifications.

recipe here. shit i changed:

not quite tripled, bc i wanted to use up an entire bag of lentils at once.

did not add red pepper flakes to the soup itself as it cooked bc i'm bad at estimating how spicy i like things.

added cumin until my heart said to stop, deffo far more than a teaspoon. probably two tablespoons? the fun thing i previously knew about lentils is that they absorb a lot like A Lot of flavor so just like. keep fuckin going with ur lil shakers.

the lemon is really crucial here, it's perfectly fine on its own with just salt/pepper/cumin, but the lemon does a lot of work

added in the entire 6oz can of tomato paste, bc i never remember to use half-cans up and then they mold in the back of my fridge and i get cranky about it. also like. one tablespoon??? really??? get the fuck out of here.

added in many carrots bc i like a stew-like consistency and also had a lot of really sad carrots in my crisper

threw in like five stalks of celery bc i bought a clump or whatever a unit of celery is called for something else and wanted to use it up

most of a bag of small-medium onions and like 4oz of minced garlic bc that was what my heart said on sunday night when i made this

still nursing along some green onions on my countertop, bought nice bread specifically for dinner. i buy the spreadable carton of brie bc i hate peeling cheese and i like brie, and i think brie goes well with this soup.

#this is So long whoops #i really liked this fuckin movie!!! #will be pitching it individually to pallas and chase later #bringing my presentation setting up my slides #tuesday again #tuesday again no problem

Soulful Dress - Sugar Pie DeSanto

If there is such a thing as a modest god, Thoth has yet to come across them. He has never claimed himself to be exempt from this rule of thumb; with precious gold and fine silver added to his beaded hair for the evening, the long black braids frame his masterfully painted face like the art piece he wants to be seen as. (Whether or not he actually feels like one does not matter.) Even his long sleeved, full length blue dress is littered with shimmering glimmers, no doubt actual gems of some kind rather than simple rhinestones knowing the old gods' lavish tastes.

Most any other time, most anybody else would find themselves set aflame if they asked Thoth to turn himself into little more than eye candy. But then again, even without the bias of fascination with this particular mortal, egotists the likes of which attend these sorts of functions always deserve being knocked down a few pegs. (And, just maybe, he feels some amount of outrage for Thaddeus being thought lesser of simply for looks. It may be his duty as a retribution god speaking, or perhaps the snide comments hit too close to home.) Almost taloned hand loosely holding on to the shorter man's arms, Thoth looks down at the hubristic crowd from behind wraparound glasses, gold painted lips trained in an unimpressed line. They aren't even good enough for a full frown.
