"Jazz is a living art form. In the mid-sixties there was a sort of COLLECTIVE INTENSITY in the air. It's no longer so much about this kind of crazy rush that existed. Today it is more about becoming aware of what we have inside ourselves." Happy Birthday Noah Howard born April 6, 1943

The statistician in me feels seen ...

I'm glad the US pilot is safe but the sheer discrepancy shown by most Americans of all political stripes between the value of the life a soldier who *literally signed up for this shit* and the value of the lives of thousands of civilians who didn't is indefensible under any coherent moral code

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

"Knowledge by itself is a beautiful thing, but there has to be that additional factor of accumulation. The knowledge that you have means nothing unless you can constantly add to it; otherwise it'll stagnate and just remain dormant." Happy Birthday Thad Jones born March 28, 1923

"In other words, the perceived worth of higher education has waned just as women have begun to outnumber men within it. Is it really a coincidence?"

Please, I am begging people: never again repeat the claim that only two people were killed in the occupation of Minnesota.

#nowlistening beyond genres, styles ... beyond words ... just listen ! martyehrlich.bandcamp.com/album/circle...

Zigzag magazine’s readers’ poll for 1978. I do love a good poll. If your world in 78 was predominantly Punk/Post-Punk - and there was an awful lot of great music to be found therein - then this really is a pretty good picture of what was happening.

Le jour même le mec était revendiqué comme "frère" et "l'un des nôtres" par une palanquée de mecs et de groupes ouvertement néonazis. C'est comme si on l'avait retrouvé au cimetière des éléphants pleuré par 50 éléphants et qu'à la vue de ses bouses on conclue 15j plus tard "oui c'était un éléphant"

Once again, a long post with strong opinions. It's probably twice as long as it should be, it's also repetitive and written in affect. And you probably disagree with my argument. So maybe you shouldn't read it. On the other hand, most things worth reading are written in affect.

#nowlistening A perfect Parisian record !

The fields have been harrowed. The fields have been frost-scarred. Now comes the sun to warm soil, wake its ghosts. Every crack leaks possibility. A hearing of spear against shield, a hearing of words spoken by the restless dead. Even with worm devoured tongues, they desire conversation.
