This week, The Academy of Movement Photos Arts and Sciences apologized to Sacheen Littlefeather, the USA Mullet Championships selected their child and teenage finalists, and Japan mentioned it needs younger individuals to drink extra alcohol.
Here is what the NPR’s Pop Tradition Completely happy Hour crew was listening to — and what you must take a look at this weekend.
Chaka Khan’s New Single, “Lady Like Me”
YouTube
I used to be knowledgeable musician a few years in the past, and considered one of my oldest associates from that point, producer Gregg Pagani, has co-written and produced Chaka Khan’s new single, “Lady Like Me.”
It actually is an excellent track, and it is so nice to listen to this vocalist, who is sort of 70, nonetheless bringing it and doing one thing actually cool.
She has the track up on her YouTube web page, web site, and Spotify so people can test it out. — Eric Deggans
Cult of the Lamb
YouTube
This can be a sport that simply got here out for numerous platforms, and it’s solely my jam. You might be this cute little sheep who has been recruited by an Elder God to type a cult in its identify. So that you collect followers and supplies, and also you collect supplies by slashing your manner by means of some very cute, randomly generated dungeons.
The opposite half of the sport is managing your followers. You construct shrines and temples for them to worship you. You additionally construct farms and sleeping quarters, and if you happen to do not construct outhouses everybody’s going to get sick as a result of they poop rattling all over the place.
It is advisable preserve their religion in you excessive, as a result of if it drops, one follower will begin sowing dissent amongst your flock. So what sort of cult chief do you need to be? You possibly can sacrifice your followers or brainwash them with magic mushrooms to get a fast burst of religion. Otherwise you can provide them items and blessings and take their confessions to maintain them completely satisfied.
I ought to make it clear by now that in some unspecified time in the future within the sport, the road between cult and arranged faith turns into a distinction and not using a significant distinction.
The aesthetic of this sport is so cute; all of your followers are these cartoony woodland creatures with large eyes. The design is admittedly impressively deep as a result of it offers you a whole lot of decisions for what sort of cult you construct, which actually ups the replay worth. It’s Animal Crossing meets Helter Skelter, and it’s adorably sinister. — Glen Weldon
P-Valley Season Two Finale
YouTube
We have talked about P-Valley on Pop Tradition Completely happy Hour, and the season two finale is making me completely satisfied. I like this present a lot. For me, the central relationship is the one between Lil Murda and Uncle Clifford.
Uncle Clifford, performed by Nicco Annon, is a non-binary proprietor of The Pynk, a strip membership within the Mississippi Delta. Lil Murda, performed by J. Alphonse Nicholson, is an up-and-coming rapper, and so they have a good looking relationship.
There’s one second within the season two finale that I’ve gone again to time and again — Willow Murda is at The Pynk, and he is performing this track known as “Seven Kilos of Stress.” It is laborious. It is all about murdering individuals, but it surely’s so catchy.
On high of that, you could have Mercedes, who is without doubt one of the pole dancers there. She’s performed by Brandee Evans, and he or she is bringing it. I simply love that sequence and the aerial pictures of her coming down the pole. It’s incredible, so in case you are not watching P-Valley on Starz, you must do it. — Aisha Harris
