”It sickened me no end to see George tortured to death like that.”

Wednesday night's program, ”The Motherlode,” paid tribute to Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and others through performances by Amina Claudine Myers, Courtney Marie Andrews, Rhiannon Giddens, Cleo Reed, Lizz Wright, Charenee Wade, Valerie Simpson and more.

Just about every area of recorded music was hit by the fire, from jazz to punk to cabaret to comedy, new wave, historical speeches, metal, hip hop, you name it.

Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett's album of duets, Lotta Sea Lice, is out in two weeks (10/13) and in anticipation of that, the pair made a Spotify playlist of some of their all-time favorite duets. Their list includes Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty's "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"...

The list is being celebrated with a free NYC show tonight, headlined by Rickie Lee Jones, who will perform Pirates in full (#49 on the list).

MMNY got word that they are no longer receiving an expected funding grant of $20,000, and they're about $10,000 shy of their goal.
