3am and I'm awake again. Radio on low but I'm listening intently to someone who turns out to be AR's biographer, Tim Lawrence, talk about aspects of his life, and I find it compelling. Bought the book, haven't read it yet but I haunt these posts wondering how I managed to live through the1980s without having heard (of) him before this.
I arrived here thanks to Yannis Philippaskis..I understand why I wasnt aware of him in the 90s but quite frankly I wouldnt have appreciared it then.Its genious so glad Iv found him and what an interseting sad history.The internet had brought so much great music to me like this.
Arthur Russell was a true genius and I feel him through his music more than any other artist. Arthur was Arthur, and classifiable only as that. I love you Arthur, wherever you may be.
This had to have influenced music just by existing. So ahead of his time in the midst of it hanging out with Ginsberg and beyond it just being so incredibly himself. I cant lie and say I absolutely love it all but I totally respect it. What year would this have been? I know he died in '92.

the way he breaks his voice when he says arms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else in this universe
His voice makes you feel like he has reached into your chest with an ethereal arm and is stroking your heart.
I swear i was just trying to put this into words, whenever i listen to his music i always feel suddenly aware of my heart
One million listens later and I still get emotional every time it comes on shuffle
This song sounds like coming up on a pill, surrounded by all your favourite people in the world.
Dope, this could have been released at any stage in the last 40 years and still sound completely new.
one of the most beautiful songs ever made by the most talented, genuine and ahead of his time artist we'll ever have the pleasure of hearing
This song sounds like love itself
Love that comment ❤️
Came here through the Economist, if you can believe that. Amazing.

Sublime
Discovered this because of Spotify, specifically after listen to a Grouper's album.
Talent like this is just so rare
