Of course she's always effective w *brief bursts* of vivid detail, shots fired, but MVP is(deliberately?)wordy here--still, seems like it works, pretty much. Would like to hear her on "Desolation Row."

two months pass...

I want to get a comp of all her baddest shit… there are many, but most don't seem to contain "ladeez and germs, miss Grace jones" which to most people is known as "slave to the rhythm." the below seems to be the best bet, but I can't tell if the listed track is that tune or the one with that title from the album that has several elements of the single but lacks THAT GLORIOUS FUCKING CHORUS.

anybody have any advice? anybody noticed that Cale's "everytime the dogs bark" is way up "slave's" behind?

Grace is sounding good during quarantine. "Unlimited Capacity for Love" in particular is so, so good.
