Q # In Femme Major

Celebrating the music and wisdom of Eartha Kitt!!!! First songs in the theme or directly inspired by her interview on love, relationships, and compromise, interview audio, and the songs from Eartha Kitt herself that relate to some of those ideas. 

An all instrumental episode, especially focusing on organs and the wonderful variety of organists who deserve more attention in the jazz world, including here. Hope you like ORGANS! I do!!! 

To celebrate Mardi Gras this year, I have some New Orleans favorites and subgenres of the wonderful specific type of sound that comes from New Orleans and its combination of cultures and people. Some zydeco, some NO R&B, soul, and funk, and ofc some Second Line and Brass Bands! Happy Mardi Gras!

A whole lot of sad, depression heart breaking songs. For break ups, hurt, harm, and feeling real lousy (but at least there is good music that fits the mood, huh?)

Valentine's Day episode! Love songs, some more sexy love songs! <3 

An exploration of different versions of popular Nina Simone songs (as well as her versions) "I Wish I Knew How It Would Be To Feel Free", "Feeling Good" and "I Put A Spell On You". 

Good funky, soulful songs about feeling good! Good for helping ya shake a hard feeling out!

Songs about resting, sleeping, dreaming, need a break! Sweet dreams and rest well!

Inspired by an activity from my fave GSWS professor of analyzing songs from a feminist/queer perspective in her classes. A number of songs from those class playlists or songs I wish had been out/I knew about to include and discuss in those classes.
