I don't really know what to do with the blinding red mist anger for what's been happening all year, epitomized by Renee Good's murder and with increasing likelihood to happen everywhere. I know it is not healthy to feel like this. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves.
Really cool to be included on this list and a big thank you to folks who checked out the album these past few months ๐๐ป And thank you to RCU generally for all the great music coverage over the years.
extremely surreal to hear helicopters buzzing constantly this past hour criss-crossing where Maduro is held www.flightradar24.com/40.66,-74.01...
the second Fred was done I ran out of the church, hopped on a bike, and met @chrisstalker.bsky.social at a different venue where Body/Head was just starting, very much an out of body (/head) kind of festival experience
Cindy Lee at The Brooklyn Paramount
another great one from this year in terms of guitar nonchalance mixed with intensity
Grateful for a lot of shows this year but this Fred Frith set had me on the edge of my seat. Nonchalant and playful but seemed in total control. Ends with pebbles in a metal bowl dragged across the strings. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v080...

the other great show from this year that compares, in terms of nonchalant guitar that's actually focused and intense
Ref:
overheard in Charlottesville this week: โyou know that place, itโs between The Food Master and the toilet storeโ
"spin" pun was not intended
If you made your own spin on this and sold them on Etsy, I'd buy one!
Will do, it's been on my list to check out, the main downside has just been tricky purchasing and shipping like you said, availability, etc... I've been brainstorming ways to maybe engineer something similar at home too
Haha same! Multiple ppl have sent me the link to that thing in the last couple months.
by chance was it this? ๐
Davis's approach to guitar has been an influence for many years, I really appreciate these words. Go check out the Dais Queue catalog. And thanks again to folks who took a moment to listen to this album.
I don't expect Zohran Mamdani to be perfect. None of us should. Perfection isn't the point of politics. Conviction is. What matters is that he believes the government should serve the people. That public service should mean something again. We have been governed for too long by people who mistake cruelty for strength, and greed for strategy. So when someone comes along who actually believes that we deserve better, that belief itself becomes an act of resistance. He won't fix everything. No singular person can. But when someone fights for the people instead of against them, it should reminds us that change is not a myth.
Hey ya'll, there's a new 10-song Cerca album out today in cassette & digital formats. I feel really good about this one and a lot of care went into it, hope you can check it outโ

tried threading shoelaces between my melodica keys to kill the clicky plasticky sound and now it sounds like a smooth tenor sax. unsure where to go from here
would also say Queer was too good to win Best Cinematography but was too long and muddled in the final third for that to be true, but still
I don't know if this makes sense but Nickel Boys was too good and true to win Best Picture
I loved all of Edith Frost's releases years ago, very cool to see she's got a new album up โ edithfrost.bandcamp.com/album/in-space
realizing #ratfuck is the first time I've ever typed a hashtag in my life and it feels appropriate

Just got the pre-order, these preview tracks sound really great
Over four million people ride the subway here every day and every day fewer than ten crimes are reported.
