Atlanta eats its young. That might be a cold-blooded accusation to level at a town dripping with so much black cultural currency. Welcome to the city too player to hate. Like music to capitalism's ears, these are the signs of a sonic identity 20 years in the making.

Quincy Jones, In Conversation

(That’s what earning 28 Grammy awards and co-producing Michael Jackson’s biggest-selling albums will do.) But in person, the 84-year-old music-industry macher is far spikier and more complicated. “All I’ve ever done is tell the truth,” says Jones, seated on a couch in his palatial Bel Air home, and about to dish some outrageous gossip. “I’ve got nothing to be scared of, man.” Currently in the midst of an extended victory lap ahead of his turning 85 in March — a Netflix documentary and a CBS special hosted by Oprah Winfrey are on the horizon — Jones, dressed in a loose sweater, dark slacks, and a jaunty scarf, talks like he has nothing to lose. You worked with Michael Jackson more than anyone he wasn’t related to. How so? What about outside of music? How much were his problems wrapped up with fame? Pisces.Me too.

David Burton People like Donald Glover aren't supposed to exist; shows like Atlanta aren’t supposed to get made.

Donald Glover Has Always Been Ten Steps Ahead

And yet here we are, in the early days of anno Domini 2018, witnessing Glover and Atlanta happen at the same time. Looking back now, I find it hard to imagine the pitch—a show about a Princeton dropout who wants to be a rap manager? —although of course Glover remembers, because going from idea to episode 101 took years. “I remember seeing an interview where Dave Chappelle was talking about how it was important to him that the show was personal,” Glover told me.

Just the other day British indie rock band The Sherlocks hit the press hard after they sneakily made themselves appear to have a bigger slot at Y Not Festival. The difference in posters wasn’t hard to spot after the poster the band shared on their socials listed them on the third line alongside Circa Waves, Seasick Steve and Leveller, whilst the official Y Not poster showed them on the fourth line along with Buzzcocks, Fat White Family, Tom Grennan, Peace and Shame.
