Song of the Day - “Then Came You”
Today is the 50th birthday of the toe-tapper “Then Came You”, which was recorded on April 2nd, 1974 by Dionne Warwick and the Spinners.
This was in that five year period where Dionne added the e to the end of her name.
She had left her old label and was now at Warner Brothers, and her career had kinda slumped.
The track, written by Sherman Marshall and Phillip T. Pugh, and produced by Thom Bell, was sung as a duet with Dionne and Spinners frontman Bobby Smith, the other Spinners spinning in the background., and was released on Atlantic, the sister label of Warners.
The Spinners were just ascending as one of the biggest groups of the 70s.
This track shot to the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 after its Sumer release… and, believe it or not, this was the Spinners’ very first #1 song, and Dionne’s ONLY #1.
It was a gold record and was nominated for a Grammy.
But mostly it was a hit for both Dionne and the Spinners, and sparked a rebirth for Dionne.
Irresistible 70s pop wonderfulness...

Came back wrong? How about came back right, except that the world you came back to is wrong. Came back just like waking up from a long nap only to find that the people who love you broke themselves into shards and bloody bargains to get you back.
There are new stains that nobody will explain, hidden beneath the rug in the upstairs hallway. Your mother's left eye is clouded and strange. The cat no longer goes near your brother. There's a sharp-edged shadow now, under your lover's smile.
Everybody says you must be remembering wrong, but your sense of smell is just as good as ever. The closet that used to smell like cedar and cinnamon smells like sulfur, now, and nobody will tell you why.

they should make shopping for cables easier i think. there should be a service where you pick the ends, you pick the length of cable, you pick the like. color and texture of the cable (shitty plastic, nicely woven, bare metal, whatever) and then they make it and ship it to you for a reasonable fee

genuinely it will never stop baffling me how people will wear twilight shirts and talk about team Edward vs team Jacob and then the same people will be like "I'm not basing my personality off of a piece of media (harry potter) made by a transphobe 😌" like good that's great! so you can excuse racism but you draw the line at transphobia? good to know
