The Isley Brothers: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert Hotney 3 Streams • 4 years ago

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.

Bobby Carter | Aug. 18, 2021
Before the Isley Brothers played "That Lady" during this Tiny Desk (at Home) concert, lead singer and founding member Ronald Isley shared two stories about the song that perfectly encapsulates the scope of their nearly seven-decade career. "It reminds me of going way back, when we had Jimi Hendrix living at the house and playing. We went on to meet a young fellow by the name of Kendrick Lamar who sampled the record and we got a Grammy award for it." At the Tiny Desk, we've hosted shows from superstars and legends – but our home concert series has now officially reached new heights.

Shot at their home studio in St. Louis, Mo., Ronald and his brother Ernie stand front and center, performing just a slice from a catalog overstuffed with classic anthems. (These four songs alone have been sampled or covered by over three hundred artists.) They kick things off with 1983's quiet storm essential, "Between the Sheets." As a nod to the late Notorious B.I.G., Mr. Biggs opens with, "I like it when you call me Big Poppa" – from there, they fire off three more hits, including the immortal "Footsteps in the Dark" and "For the Love of You." The Isley Brothers have eclipsed legendary status – their music is an intrinsic, indelible part of American culture. Watching Ron and Ernie play with as much enthusiasm as they did 30, 40, 50 years ago is an awe-inspiring sight to cherish.

Ellie Goulding - Easy Lover feat Big Sean (Lyrics)

It was never easy lover
When you’ve given all you’ve got to each other
And then every time it’s hard to recover
We are only young
We are only young

It was never easy lover
I just wanted you to pull, pull me closer
But you’d only seem to go even further
We are only young
We are only young

And I’ve been walking in a straight line
Fighting this again
but everytime I leave you pull me back in

Easy lover
keep it cool on me
don’t be cruel to me
because I know you’ve done it before

Easy lover
keep it cool on me
give it all to me
Because I know you’ve done it before

Easy lover
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Easy lover
Ahhh ahhh ahh

BIG SEAN
Aye, Aye, Look
Time gone passed but all of these feelings hadn’t
You know that life that we pictured I still imagine
A whole city in between us and we still attached
You used to have so many layers till I peeled them back
I see the fire in your eyes that mean we still a match
You think you're better off without me but it isn’t facts
Okay you mad at me - I had to man up you know and change the whole mentality
I’m hung up on the pictures that you sent me, made a gallery
Captions be about me but not at-ing me
I don’t understand these type of things
I don’t understand these type of games
And I know they say that everything that’s easy ain’t worth it
And everything that’s worth it ain’t gone be easy
I made mistakes you can’t say that I repeated
I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t need ya...

Easy lover
Keep it cool on me
Don’t be cruel to me
Because I know you’ve done it before

Easy lover
keep it cool on me
give it all to me
Because I know you’ve done it before

Easy lover
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Easy lover
Ahhh ahhh ahh

It’s gone too far
Im too deep
I can’t sleep
I’m still foolishly in love
with you
just like all the other girls you promise
I can’t stop believing you want me
and you’re foolishly in love
but you’re not
so I’ll take a shot
Easy lover

Pulp Fiction (1994) Music From The Motion Picture - Full OST Hotney 3 Streams • 4 years ago

Pulp Fiction (1994) Music From The Motion Picture - Full OST

Pulp Fiction is a 1994 American black comedy neo-noir crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, from a story by Tarantino and Roger Avary. Directed in a highly stylized manner, Pulp Fiction connects the intersecting storylines of Los Angeles mobsters, fringe players, small-time criminals, and a mysterious briefcase. The film's title refers to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue.

The screenplay of Pulp Fiction was written in 1992 and 1993, and incorporated some scenes originally written by Avary for True Romance. Its plot, as in many of Tarantino's other works, is presented out of chronological order. The film is also self-referential from its opening moments, beginning with a title card that gives two dictionary definitions of "pulp". Considerable screen time is devoted to monologues and casual conversations with eclectic dialogue revealing each character's perspectives on several subjects, and the film features an ironic combination of humor and strong violence. Its script was reportedly turned down by Columbia TriStar as "too demented". Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein was instantly enthralled with it, however, and the film became the first that Miramax fully financed.

Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, and was a major critical and commercial success upon its U.S. release. It was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture; Tarantino and Avary won for Best Original Screenplay. John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, and Uma Thurman, each received Academy Award nominations for their roles and revitalized and/or elevated their careers. The nature of its development, marketing, and distribution – and its consequent profitability – had a sweeping effect on the field of independent cinema.

Since its release, Pulp Fiction has been widely regarded as Tarantino's masterpiece, with particular praise singled out for its screenwriting. The film's self-reflexivity, unconventional structure, and extensive use of homage and pastiche have led critics to describe it as a touchstone of postmodern film. It is often considered a cultural watershed, with a strong influence felt not only in later movies that adopted various elements of its style, but in several other media as well. A 2008 Entertainment Weekly list named it the best film from 1983 to 2008 and the work has appeared on many critics' lists of the greatest films ever made. In 2013, Pulp Fiction was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
