I ❤️the idea of an Album Club that is similar to a Book Club. @thomascostello.bsky.social chatted with @lewisalex10.bsky.social and Zachariah Thompson (The Scatter Joy Project) about the kickoff event where @boniverwi.bsky.social 'SABLE, fABLE' is the featured album.

I dreamed of being on ESPN as a kid. I wanted to be like Stuart Scott n dem. I thought that dream was over. So, seeing an essay I wrote not only on the ESPN app but the top story on the app is surreal to say the least.

I wanna give @lewisalex10.bsky.social his flowers bc I’ve known him from the other app for a while now and he’s admittedly the first Ohioan I ever knew lol and a damn good writer (while the world’s most deserving Nuggets fan) who just had his work push notified from the ESPN app lfg king!

I don’t feel the constant need to compare art or artists’ either… I’m an “and” instead of “or” guy when it comes to that. I do agree that art such as albums, films, or books often boils down to preference and bias more than overall quality and execution. Everything isn’t for EVERYONE.

My latest Columbus Underground story profiles KMB, a producer and DJ from the north side of Columbus, Ohio who has been making original songs since he was 10 years old. We discussed how he started making music and the Jaden Smith album that fell through that paved the way for an upcoming project.

Rewatching Kendrick’s performance from The Pop Out, and him and Jay Rock walking Ab-Soul across the stage is so tender. An image of how our people carry and keep us.

Photo of Kendrick Lamar with his arm around Ab-Soul on stage at The Pop Out with a screenshot of text above them:

There are more challenges ahead. Although he was cured of Steven-Johnson Syndrome as a kid, his cornea is scarred. His vision is still a constant concern, at some point he’ll likely have to get a cornea transplant. “I am legally blind, not completely blind, I see well enough, as well as I walk by faith,” he says. “I have family and friends that make sure I don’t run into too much.”

I’m curious about continuing to cultivate the things that make me me. The stories that keep me alive. The belief that another word is possible—if we show up for one another and fight for it. I believe our lineage can be one of care.

I’m quickly approaching my third listen of Kendrick’s album, but today’s newsletter is free for everyone. It includes a playlist of 60+ songs I’ve enjoyed over the past few weeks, 10 years of Camp Flog Gnaw, and some words on the Nazis who marched through my city of Columbus, Ohio.
