- Always a treat
Listening to every episode when they drop is a dopamine hit. While my music taste is toward punk/metal/noise based on deep rock n roll/classic rock/blues, I appreciate diallo & luxxury’s knowledge, curiosity, and honesty when encountering new or unfamiliar music. It opens my mind and perspective, challenges me to hear music differently.

Thank you, Diallo. Loved your Paint it Black comments. I’m a Caucasian 60 year old from the Northeast and will never tap my foot to Brown Sugar again. I appreciate this pod for the musical and cultural education.
Apple Podcasts5AgingRunnerUnited Statesa month ago - Paint It Black pod
Entertaining, but hard to listen to knowing about ‘Brown Sugar’ and a 33 year old Mick Jagger having sex with a 15 year old Rae Dawn Chong…
I hadn’t heard Cocteau Twins’ ‘Lorelei’ in at least 30 years. I loved that song…
Have you considered doing a pod on My Bloody Valentine’s ‘Soon’?
