Music About Musicians By Musicians
Introduction Dexy's Midnight Runners came on the radio covering Van Morrison's "Jackie Wilson Said" and I thought could I put together a playlist of songs or band singing about other singers or bands. We obviously have something to kick off this one and another has just come into my head, bands named after songs, but that can wait awhile.

Multi-Hyphenate Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Drops Seductive Single “Pruane” (feat. Lulu Kirtchuk and Devereaux)
From Amir Royale I’ve tasted toxicity. I’ve lusted after romance in a way that may have been unhealthy for a couple of years. I’ve misunderstood cues during intimacy before but have also had partners not reciprocate my passion or attention to detail. “Pruane” is about being in that center space between ‘DTF buddies’ and ‘soulmates.’ That unspoken sense of attachment intertwined with the minutiae of apathy. Somewhere smack in the middle of possessive and protective, sexual and sensual, in-love and out of it. We search for the love we think we deserve – and the people that are right for us; we often overlook or undervalue them. Maybe one day I’ll finally start getting all this stuff right. ‘Til then, I’m content sitting still. Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️🩹🌺

Zappa Had a Fall
I claim innocence. It was a long week-end, and I had just finished reading a book that I needed to return to the library. I had not been there for a few weeks, and I was not borrowing albums the way I used to - thank you, Spotify - and I sort of wandered around trying to decide what to do with myself. In the stacks, I went blindly through certain compilations and found a stack of CDs that went back to my childhood, teenagedom, and my imagination. And then I found an interesting box set: 'The Mothers 1971'.
