Richard Hell has lived in the same rent-stabilized East Village apartment for over 50 years. He's got some great books.
I had a terrific conversation with @tanveernaseer.bsky.social about when corporate leaders should address political and social issues. This question is timely in light of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's conflict with the Pentagon. tanveernaseer.com/leadership-b...
I found assembling this list MUCH harder than the Blue Note list, because Prestigeβs catalog is so much bigger and I did not spend as much time parsing it when I was younger as I did Blue Note.
OK, here's the list:
Opening for an LA band called The Stevenson Ranch Davidians, which is the best band name since Brian Jonestown Massacre.
The Iliad is an etiological myth which, beyond its undeniable Homeric artistry and metric grandeur, also serves to explain and naturalize the origin of a civilization, a people, etc. And in that sense I see the Iliad as being quite political.
Not so much the Odyssey. The Odyssey is poetry.
Sure, kids look at their phones for hours a day, but books are the real cause of mental health issues among high school students.
This is awesome.
His films were a revelation when I first discovered them forty years ago. He trusted audiences to pay sustained attention.

Knowing what you know, would you buy a new Bolt this year? Asking for me.
Never, in a million kabillion years, when I decided to say "screw it" to mainstream philosophy and started writing about the philosophy of games, could I have imagined that this road would take me down to having the goddamn NY Times profile me and my new book.

i have invented a new way to release an album and you are free to have it. you teach a song to a large enough population of birds, perhaps reward them with some nice birdseed - they will then teach it to their brethren and so the music propagates. you can hear the music if you listen to birds

Thanks for this. I was just listening to the early Jamal Trio recordings yesterday, so this is perfectly timed.
Amid a humanitarian disaster fueled by russian strikes on critical infrastructure, Ukrainians are fighting to protect stray animals from the freezing winter. From makeshift shelters and fleece blankets to shops and cafes opening their doors, people are doing
Where does one apply to become the person who walks through the airport terminal with a speaker playing bird calls, in order to pied piper them out of the building? I did not know this was a job and it looks very satisfying
Grave marker for Mark Sandman of Morphine and other awesome bands
I saw them many times. So very under appreciated!
"I'm not mad at you" as your last words on earth are really not all that far from "forgive them father for they know not what they do."
