A musical interlude

I'm not doing a post on the racial tensions or police brutality in the U.S. mostly because listening rather than speaking is more appropriate to my knowledge level on the topic, so here's some (non-paywalled) lists of books from Book Riot if you, like me, need to be more educated on the topic:

• 35 Must-Read Books About Racism
• So You Want to Be Woke: A Reading Guide for White People
• 8 Nonfiction Reads About Social Justice

What I can do instead if you need a break from the news right now is tell you what I've been listening to this spring.  (List is alphabetical by artist.)
