And with that, she got to work on the last piece of music she would ever write. By the time she was conceiving the sound world and structure of the piece, she was in the middle of her pregnancy. A significant portion of the work, though, came after our son was born and after her diagnosis. As the chemo cycles began, a friend and mentor sent her a supportive email, and in it was a line musing that the dual challenges of cancer treatment and newborn care must be "beyond the beyond." "That's my title," Sarah said to me. "Don't you think?"

My friend wrote a piece for Esquire about the passing of his wife (an extremely talented composer) and the music she left behind. It’s a beautiful meditation on grief and art and the way the two things inform each other; please read if you’re so inclined.

Seeing her Saturday for PDX Jazz Fest, seems like great way to kick off a week of music.

Guys I confuse in my head: John Peel, John Cage, John Cale, John Zorn

(Not really a sturgill expert or anything, just have liked him for a bit). If you haven’t listened I like the Metamodern sounds album a lot, but they are all pretty good. And the live show is fun, particularly with this band, they go three hours bell to bell no encore no setbreak.

The name comes from some guy who would call him that back in the day when he was like busking and playing clubs in Kentucky. “Look who it is, Johnny Blue Skies”

It’s the same really. He made the new band a little bit ago, but it’s really still just him, different name. It has also been the same touring lineup since that change, where before it was maybe not so clear who he would play with (but also some of same guys)

Hmm just saw we are at war, please disregard sour frozen mango tweet

Fruit riot frozen sour mango is like a whole new level of sour snacking

Terrifying bathroom with concrete floor and wood paneling, huge with nothing in it like a kill room

Y’all ever walk into a public restroom and immediately whisper “Jesus Christ”

he took care of this before either minority leader even tweeted about how this was “disgraceful” and that somebody should do something about it

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

Watched the Brian Eno documentary tonight, and, honestly, I am blown away. What a spectacular marriage of form and subject. Can’t recommend enough! Could watch him talk about creativity, music, and the planet all day. Brilliant www.chanceoperations.com/events

Random fun fact: Kermit the frog is called Kermit in multiple countries around the world but in Spain he’s called Gustavo

Or more like they never force guys to rest as it seems like most players just want to play.

Yep, sucks. Cavs never let guys rest when they get hurt, it’s annoying

he looks awesome, you are not alone.

looks like they got suspended! the feed just pulls in all things Cavs related, so not surprised it pulled that in. if I see in future I will block the people from the feed (at least I will once I figure out how to do that haha). go Cavs!

I say skipppppp (I have also never seen the kitchen dwellers, they were here for new years and I skipped then haha)
