Light me up, librarian lover… and "Read Me Harder" EPX19 📚💨
Side A x9 = Gypsy HopFi Fusion BURLESQUE Edition
Side B x10 = Psychedelic Americana BLUES Edition

I was listening to my "S.S. is for Sacred Sp3rm" EP when I saw yet another one of those daily terrifying #breakingnews social media posts, listing #books recently #banned from the (remaining) U.S. Public Schools and Libraries #circa2025 
1. The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
2. Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
3. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
4. 1984 by George Orwell
5. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
6. The perks of being a wallflower, by Stephen Chbovsky
7. The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison 
8. Sold by Patricia McCormick
9. Maus by Art Spiegelman
10. An African and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz

So then, I had to write a "B.B. is for BANNED BOOKS" song, to honor my favorite authors on this list, because WOW... HOW freaking SCARY of an #americanhorror #truestory IS THAT?!

@bananasutra lyrics:

[Intro]
They banned the truth for being rude…
But baby, rude is how we bloom.
So light me up, librarian lover…
and read me harder.
B.B. is for Banned Books,
and Badass Brains.

[Verse 1 – Harper Lee & Art Spiegelman]
Harper told me, “Mock me, kill me,” still I sing,
Truth’s a mockingbird with wings.
Art drew the pain, a mouse in flame,
He said, “Remember, never tame.”
You can ban my ink, but not my roar,
I’ll scratch your walls, and write some more.

[Chorus]
They banned the books but not the beat,
Banned the thought but not the heat,
Banned the love but not the street.
So read me, baby, read me sweet!
If thinking’s sin, I’ll take the blame,
Desire and truth are one and same.

[Verse 2 – Aldous Huxley & Margaret Atwood]
Aldous whispered, “Take your soma, stay asleep,”
But sugar, freedom don’t come cheap.
Atwood smirked, “Blessed be the fruit,”
Then laced her boots and staged a coup.
Pop your soma, hush your fear,
But holy lust still lights us clear.

[Bridge – George Orwell & Ray Bradbury]
Big Brother’s watching, Ray lit the spark,
Said, “Burn the dark, not those who mark.”
Orwell winked through smoke and steam,
“Truth’s a thoughtcrime, love’s the dream.”
You can’t delete what won’t forget,
We’re the match they can’t reset.

[Final Chorus]
They banned the books but not the beat,
Banned the thought but not the heat,
Banned the love but not the street.
So read me, baby, read me sweet!
Truth’s taboo, but damn, it’s neat,
Come turn the page with me.

[Outro]
For Harper Lee, Art Spiegelman, Aldous Huxley, Margaret Atwood,
George Orwell, and Ray Bradbury,
for every mind they tried to muzzle.
We see you.
We feel you.
And we’ll keep reading you harder. 


Side B [10] READ ME HARDER (BB for Banned Books) - SHOWsutra She Wanna Know Jazzy LoFi Indie DUB

City lights hum beneath my shoes,
Elevator dings and the skyline moves.

Rushed reflection in a tinted glass,
Suit and tie, another hour to pass.
Traffic pulses like a heartbeat drum,
Concrete mountains, and the hum becomes.
I whisper “Jah” in the boardroom chair,
He’s here in the city, I feel it everywhere.

Jah in the city clock, ticking slow,
In the rush I find the flow.
Corporate towers, asphalt sea,
He still walks these streets with me.

Coffee steam in the early light,
Emails flood before the dawn is bright.
Skytrain whistle, subway roar,
Yet in the noise I hear the roar.
Suitcase full of plans and dreams,
Jah’s the quiet voice between the beams.

Jah in the city clock, ticking slow,
In the rush I find the flow.
Corporate towers, asphalt sea,
He still walks these streets with me.

Midnight rooftop, skyline high,
Office lights flicker, stars still cry.
In the hum of the machine I swear I see,
Jah’s a whisper in the city breeze.

Jah in the city clock, ticking slow,
In the rush I find the flow.
Corporate towers, asphalt sea,
He still walks these streets with me.

Glass reflections fade to dusk,
Jah in the city — still I trust.

Jah in the city
