I’ll be in my office.

Ah! That makes more sense to me -- thanks for the reply.

Can you give some examples of new notation that LvB invented? I have 2 degrees in music theory & composition and can’t find any references mentioning this.

John Fetterman tweet Operation Epic Fury. President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region. God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.

What a fucking ghoul.

Should I be running about this?

In my house, the anniversary of the release of DiPiglio is a holiday.

Thanks! The old house had an amazing office space, and it was rough to work for 7 months on a folding table in the corner of a room that was empty except for all my books and music in moving boxes.

Annual Report Wow, that was an overstuffed year.

So: A year ago today, we bought this rowhouse in Philadelphia’s Brewerytown neighborhood.

Ah, got it.

Is that article as dumb as I’m imagining, or is it dumber?

It is a silly place...

Forrest Gump filled me with seething rage. My favorite part of it was when lightning struck nearby and the power went out for 10 minutes.

What's the John Barth novel that's layers and layers of frame stories and the different layers start talking to each other? Am I imagining that's a thing?

That's good to know -- we moved here a year ago and have only gotten to ride the real trolley down Girard once so far! It's so much cooler.

It was *very* fun to see without knowing anything about it other than "hey -- new David Lynch!" It wasn't announced as being for TV.

This talk at XOXO last year is one of my favorite things ever, and the rest of the story only makes it better.

“Twin Peaks” pilot on a huge screen at the Miami Film Festival a year before it aired on ABC.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

I got thrown because the film versions of West Side and Sound of Music were both directed by Robert Wise, so I went down a rabbit hole on IMDB.

with the little solenoid percussion bits? That was fantastic.

So much great new music being made lately. I can't keep up...

Embarrassed that I'd never heard of this band until yesterday and have seen a dozen links to them in the last 24 hours. Microtonal math rock is (to no one's surprise) 100% my thing.

Post a banger not in English:

"Maybe you have a story about the first time you saw The Bad Plus." -- I took my (at the time) 8yo son to see TBP open for Ornette Coleman. Poor kid never had a chance. Now he's going to see their farewell tour without me.

A quadrennial reminder that snowboarding tricks should be measured in radians and not degrees.

I hope that Allan Havey's excellent "Night After Night" show is not forgotten. There's another timeline where he got the Letterman slot instead of Conan.

it's like one of those small family-owned circuses we took the kids to when they were little. The tightrope walker would run backstage, change hats, and return as the lion tamer.

They heard you! DeJohnette, Volman, Johansen and a few others that were barely shown got another shot.

Trek has done the same before with ‘race’ and I’ve always found it jarring.

A serious regret in my life: back in the 80s, the Arkestra was hired in Syracuse to play all night on New Year's Eve (a set every other hour from 8pm to 8am). I was home from college, but didn't want to go by myself. Dumb dumb dumb.
