Some songs make you wait for the chorus until the very end, then it just repeats forever. Journey’s "Don't Stop Believin’” holds out until 3:32. I wrote a Substack post about these kinds of songs. What songs am I missing? Drop them below. 👇 nabilayers.substack.com/p/th…

New York has always been a huge part of Identified, and our first guest of the new season embodies the spirit of the city and has been shaped by it: Julian Pratt of the iconic post-hardcore band Show Me The Body. Season 3 is our biggest yet and is right around the corner.

Happy birthday to one of the great bassists of all time, Cecil McBee. The first time I heard Cecil was on Grachan Moncur's great Blue Note album, Some Other Stuff. I was only 14 but could immediately hear that Cecil sounded quite different from what I'd heard other bassists do…

…but I also wanted to take a step back from writing about my father as a person and just honor the music. I put a lot of energy into it, and I'm thrilled to have it out in the world.
