Sam Shepherd on the composition, London Symphony Orchestra on the performance, and Pharoah Sanders on the execution. Perhaps one would not fathom a partnership between the three acts, but indubitably, the value of the end product would be prodigious. I expected a grandiose delivery from the three brilliance through mighty showcases, and even with hindsight, ... read more

Hey, thanks for the message I appreciate it a lot, been busy with Uni so it's a little hard to update my page as frequently as I used to but I do plan to still plan to write when I can. You also got some really solid taste, cool to see you're enjoying the new Brockhampton record, Defo one of my favourites of the year so far.

Hey Eli, I'm doing a community list of songs to hypothetically replace the U.S. National Anthem, would love to hear what your suggestion is and why you think it's deserving of anthem status (you don't need an explanation, but it would be nice :))
