Song: All the King's Men
Artist: Wild Beasts
Album: Two Dancers (2009)
Lyrics that resound: 🎵 Girls from Shipley, girls from Roedean. Let me tell my darling what that means 🎵
Commentary: This song popped up in my head after lying dormant for years. I liked this album in 2009 -- might have to give it another listen. The song title makes me want to re-read Robert Penn Warren's excellent novel of the same name.

"Womp womp" by Valee
Song: Womp womp
Artist: Valee ft. Jeremih
Commentary: Pretty sure I heard this on The Chi. Got bored of the show (not bad, though!) but the music was definitely good. Good Chicago representation.
Edit: I accidentally had this playing in two windows making this post, and the slightly offset combo was not bad

"IDK" by Siri Imani
Song: IDK
Artist: Siri Imani ft. TJG
Commentary: Cincinnatians two days in a row. And it's not something from the Free Billy Day Concert, even though Siri Imani was there. Watch this vid though.

"Ludacris" by Neptune Tha King
Song: Ludacris
Artist: Neptune Tha King
Album: Free Billy Day Concert (2020)
Commentary: I'll be posting more from this show (link above) from the concert of Cincinnati artists benefitting efforts to #FreeBilly, aka getting William Pennington out of prison. Go drop some cash there and download all the tracks Robert is offering up for free. I loved Neptune Tha King -- he was great live (I thought his vocals were overshadowed by autotune on the one album I've heard of his). This was a beautiful day of solidarity. Love to my fellow abolitionists out there #FreeThemAll
