Esmé Patterson’s Week in Pop
Embarking on a tour that begins tonight in Chicago at Schubas in support of We Were Wild; Esmé Patterson was ever so generous in presenting us her following exclusive Week in Pop guest selections live from the road:
George Michael, “Freedom! ’90“
George Michael is stuck in my head because he’s the bomb and that song is important now more than ever.
Kevin Morby, “Singing Saw“
Really amazing female lead guitar player in that band and the solo in that song is really cool.
Beyoncé, “Sorry”
Because that’s where I’m at…and she’s the queen.
William Elliott Whitmore, “Not Feeling Any Pain“
Shameless self promotion—this is a great song from a great friend and I also covered it.
N.W.A., “Fuck tha Police“
Police reform now!
