Journalist Jonathan Cohen has written a great piece in SPIN Magazine about all of the exciting events and projects that are happening surrounding Windham Hill Records' 50th Anniversary-

If there were a Pulitzer prize for a car review video, this would absolutely win. One of the most savagely funny/not funny things I've seen in a very long time. Trust me, you'll want to share with friends- www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3oO...

We're 37% towards our goal to produce a new compilation, inspired by Windham Hill's A Winter's Solstice series. 29 days to go in the campaign. Please consider pledging & please help spread the word about the @kickstarter.com campaign- bit.ly/AWSCkick26

BREAKING: We just won our antitrust trial against LiveNation and Ticketmaster. Live Nation has raked in billions in profits from an illegal monopoly that coerces venues, restricts artists, and exploits fans. This is a massive win in the fight for fairness for local venues, artists, and fans.

I saw this film the day it came out, while in College, in Madison, WI. Foolishly, I took my then girlfriend, who lasted all of 15 minutes before fleeing the theater in disgust… Fond memories

The Grammy-nominated Yiddish Glory returns with a powerful follow-up to their acclaimed debut that brought lost, wartime Yiddish music back from the brink of oblivion. These are words that the war tried to erase. This album refuses to let it. ddas.lnk.to/YGSilenced

Before co-founding Six Degrees, I worked at Windham Hill for 11 years, eventually running the A&R Dept. It's the 50th anniversary of Windham Hill and we have started a @kickstarter.com campaign to fund this exciting project. Please consider donating & please spread the word: tinyurl.com/4nb5ktm8

Fripp for me - is as important as Dylan, Neil, Lou, Van etc - yet, is so different than the rest as he’s not a singer/songwriter. His brand of prog has feeling, emotion often devoid from his fellow progressive peers. Rarely has a Fripp project left me cold.

Happy Easter (sorry, I couldn’t resist)…

Anyone watching that speech has no idea whether Trump is escalating or deescalating the war with Iran. But to be fair, neither does he so🤷‍♂️.

Trump giving a speech about the Iran war, on April Fools’ day, because democracy may have died but irony never will!

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

In 1969 - Terry Riley did a video / music performance titled “Music with Balls” - decades later, I produced a filmed interview with Terry with Henry Kaiser - until recently, the video of the interview was unavailable - here it is now youtu.be/RecyPeq2I28?...

Yesterday, millions of us once again affirmed the foundation of the common good. But how do we turn yesterday’s solidarity into political power? Here are three suggestions. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-turning-solidarity

I’m on the outer border, right between the “E” in “Ice” and the “N” in the second “No”

Yesterday was Holger Czukay's birthday- without him there would be no Six Degrees Records. Czukay's album, Movies (specifically the track "Persian Love") was the first time I encountered the concept of incorporating global music samples into electronic compositions.
