would be curious to know what people think of the nowjazznow book if anyone's gotten a copy besides mr. lost treasures. having read through it, i'm quite happy with the way it finally turned out, but it was such a long process i really have almost no way to know what a sane person makes of it.

the NOWJAZZNOW book is actually available for purchase at long last. halle-fuckin-lujah. www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/byro...

RIP JOSEPH BYRD amazing musician with United States of America, the Field Hippies & solo. he was the guy who turned John Fahey onto indian music back when they were at ucla & did one of the weirdest xmas LPs ever. no firewall www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/a...

RIP Frank Gehry in the early '80s lili & i lived on 17th in santa monica. we'd stroll the neighborhood & always marvel at gehry's transformed house a few blocks east. anyone who has stood before the amazing public buildings he created later knows he's worth missing. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/a...

very in-depth anaylsis of "horses" that's equal parts interesting & annoying. here's the link without firewall (first post had one it seems) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

RIP Peter Watkins. "the war game" is better known, but "punishment park" remains brutally prescient. no firewall www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/m...

makes me think of robert williams' old rhyme about felching. "a load in the pooper makes retrieving just super!"

rec of the day CHRIS PORTKA "the album everybody wants" (seek collective LP) low-key but extremely compelling singer-songwriter ruralist moves with nice pedal steel in spots. somewhere between tom wanderer and barry walker, this one grows like a beard. cportka.bandcamp.com/album/the-al...

Live now! wednesday mercredi 9-11h CKUT featuring Byron's special poem for Dick Cheney... @byroncoley.bsky.social Invité spécial : Jonas Fortier! ckut.ca/playlists/sh...

so long donna godchaux. never liked her vocals or her husband's playing or the fact they brought heroin into the dead. i only saw that line-up live once, but it was a boogiefied ordeal. apart from the "seastones" break between sets. now she and elvis can shit on matching golden toilets. finally.

rec of the day: DRAGS "dragsploitation now!" (total punk MLP) 30th anniversary reissue of this new mexico garage punk band's debut 10". a beautiful example of the estrus/goner/crypt sound at its finest totalpunkrecords.bandcamp.com/track/dragsp...

nice piece by nina corcoran about the steve albini's closet project pitchfork.com/thepitch/dig...

rec of the day: SAKINA ABDOU/BILL NACE "rinse cycle" (Open Mouth LP) groovy pairing of bill's multivalent electric string abuse and the fattened sax sound of france's sakina abdou, who is quickly making a name for herself as a blaring experimentalist openmouthrecords.bandcamp.com/album/rinse-...

nice nyt piece on berio's "sinfonia" no firewall www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/a...

rec of the day: ANNIE ACHRON "never paradise" (siltbreeze LP) mesmeric LP by philly's nicole siering, whose synth-pop creations carry a sweet avant-euro 81 edge making the approach fresh yet oddly familiar. way outside my usual interests, but a smashing spin siltbreeze.bandcamp.com/album/annie-...

ESTEY FIELD ORGAN & MORE LIVE AT FEEDING TUBE TODAY SUNDAY OCT 19 4 PM

RIP DANNY THOMPSON bassist ojn so many great sessions, but still most spectacular, to my mind anyway, inside the amazing pentangle www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tyV...

rec of the day NAPE NECK 'the h=shallowest end" (dot dash sounds LP) excellent buzz generated at the recent gonerfest by this great leeds trio, whose first "real" LP recalls little claw at their no waviest, amonst many other DIY-based gut-busting form moves. napeneck.bandcamp.com/album/the-sh...

RIP JOHN LODGE. there's string of moodys LPs -- from lost chord" to "question of balance" -- that remain a guilty pleasure 50+ years after i first tripped to them in my dorm room. why deny it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_Tb...

rec of the day: BILL NACE "head 2" (open mouth pb) amazing collection with bill riffing on the idea of masks. it's halfway between something you'd see in "fangoria" and fine fuckin' art. i might start a new label just to use the images for LP covers. openmouthrecords.bandcamp.com/merch/head-2-2
