Notes From a Pandemic: ‘Black and Blue,’ reimagined; stream H.E.R., La Marisoul, Radiohead, Neil Young, Rise Against and more

La Marisoul

ONLINE FINDS

■ Meet Aaron Williams, a multi-instrumentalist, composer, tap-dancer, schoolteacher and all-around polymath. He has some of the wildest things imaginable on his AaronGrooves YouTube channel — not just his solo work but his performances with beatboxer-juggler-percussionist Bronkar Lee as the duo Collision of Rhythm. His latest effort speaks to what it’s like to be Black in America; it’s a reshaping of Fats Wallers’s 1929 tune “Black & Blue,” with updated lyrics. (Read the notes on YouTube for more info.) For the video, he cloned himself (which he has done before), so jump on this one, by Aaron, Aaron, Aaron & Aaron.

■ The latest of Neil Young’s “Fireside Sessions” takes place on his porch and is a half-hour’s worth of protest songs — including an updated version of 2006’s “Lookin’ for a Leader” that shreds Donald Trump. Stream it here.

■ The last of Radiohead’s series of archival concert streams will premiere today at 2 p.m. This one was recorded at Eurockéennes de Belfort, Lac du Malsaucy, Belfort, France, on July 4, 1997. The whole series is archived here.
