Leave it to Kenny Loggins to bring in Michael McDonald to remix LIVE one of the Doobie Brothers' classic tracks. I've been on a soft rock kick lately.
Red Pill lyrics on this track in my opinion.

It's a dog eat dog world - that's the truth.
There's nothing you can do - when you realise it is a picture of you!

I'm listening to Washed Out, who are one of the acts that I wish would get bigger because their music is sublime and worthy of a larger audience. They capture the angst-y millenial Zeitgeist perfectly--but no need for Xanax or mumble rap... Washed Out, for those that don't know of them, they are chill-wave (musically speaking), in other words, electronic music that is perfect for chilling out--I cannot confirm it, but apparently sex while listening to Washed Out is roughly equivalent to "Bolero" by Ravel, in other words: fantastic and perfect. Digression: a background on Bolero and sex:
Quote:Maurice Ravel's Boléro is one of the most famously erotic pieces of classical music. To some 21st century ears, though, it's become the musical equivalent of shag carpeting.
The quarter-hour composition wasn't originally conceived as a soundtrack to sex. At its 1928 premiere, Ravel advocated for choreography that would have been set against an industrial background befitting the music's mechanically repetitive quality.
He had a point: the principal distinguishing feature of the piece is its relentless repetition of an insistent theme that becomes vaguely militaristic with the introduction of horns. Hardly an incitement to ardor, but there's also that slowly swelling orchestration that gives the piece the feeling of a single-minded building to climax. Since the average American couple only take seven minutes to consummate a coupling, 15 minutes is a reasonable goal to aspire to.
"There's nothing subtle about the strutting, deliciously arrogant horniness of the tune nor about its inexorable saunter to salacious satisfaction," writes Richard Todd. "Even the change of key corresponds exactly to passing that point of no return of which we're all so fond. And the big bang at the end, well, I leave it to you to interpret that one..."
The piece began appearing in sensual contexts in the 1970s, when it soundtracked a documentary about gay erotica. Its fate as a lights-down-low selection was sealed with its prominent inclusion in one of the decade's iconic cinematic sex scenes. "Did you ever do it to Ravel's Boléro?" asks Bo Derek, after which she and Dudley Moore proceed to toke up and give it a whirl — pre-empting Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.
The film — Blake Edwards's 10 (1979) — was so successful that it made Boléro one of the most expensive musical numbers to license for use in future movies, earning a million dollars a year for the composer's estate.
People magazine covered the Boléro phenomenon in 1980, as recordings of the piece flew off the shelves. "'It doesn't matter which orchestra is playing,' says one record store manager in Denver. 'They just want it.' Of course, as a sex aid, the Boléro is a plain-brown-wrapper item. "No one ever wants it for himself," explains a salesman in Houston. 'It's always "for a friend."'"
...
Plenty of people, it seems, still like to get their freak on with Ravel: in a 2012 poll of Spotify users, Boléro was outsexed by only Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" and the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.
I have hipster tendencies, and ironically Washed Out--"Feel it All Around" is the opening sequence song for the hipster show Portlandia:
Nothing better than Washed Out and weed (although I'm lacking some). For now, I'm making do with a bottle of Chivas Regal and my Juul-- although I have at least one thing in common with Hunter S. Thompson right now...

One of the greatest acoustic albums ever recorded, that no one knows about
Bireli Lagrene Ensemble Live. When I was a teenager this album was my bread and butter. Incredible playing!

I blame creepin for this since I ended up clicking on Neil's channel and finding more music there:
Albanian Goddess Dua Lipa. Is there any other girl in pop right now who is so sensuous?

This is the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Singing the alpha widow's anthem.
