Out for a lunchtime walk for the first time in ages. Listening to this great version of The Moldau. I have a soft spot for this melody: it was one of my son’s favorites when he was an infant. youtu.be/fiOGCwZGgXY?... #ClassicalMusic

This is my second time reading The Passion According to G.H., but I feel like I’m reading it for the first time again. “The drawing wasn’t a decoration: it was a writing.” 🤯 #BookSky 📚

Love this intro by Clarice Lispector in The Passion According to G.H. #BookSky

I read this for a reading group. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but I ended up loving it. This is the first in a tetralogy (or in this case, a quartet). Has anyone read all four books? How are they? #BookSky 📚

Great new record from Illinois #psychedelic band White Shape. If you’re like me and occasionally need a record that makes you feel like you’re drifting on a river of sound, then check it out. @littlecloudrecords.bsky.social #NowSpinning #VinylCollection #VinylCommunity

Rosa Passos & Ron Carter – Entre Amigos A beautifully recorded album of #BossaNova classics that showcases the immense talents of these two legends. As an added bonus, my copy was signed by the Maestro himself. #Jazzsky #JazzVinyl #NowSpinning #VinylCommunity

I don’t write book reviews very often, but I decided to write one for the newest Haruki Murakami book. (I tried to avoid spoilers.) TL; DR: I enjoyed it, but only in the same way I enjoy blueberry muffins. #BookSky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

3/5: I’ve been a fan of Murakami since Kafka on the Shore, though I’ve found his last two novels disappointing (his short stories, though, have been great). My expectations for this book were low, bu...

I’ll be honest: I never cared for “There She Goes” by The La’s, and I’ve never heard any of their other songs. But wow! Their story is really interesting. And based on the clips I heard in this video, their demos sound really cool. youtu.be/LEGCUiDpeXM?... #MusicSky #BritPop

I’ve heard a lot of Miles Davis over the past three decades. But I’ve never heard Miles like this! This record is pretty wild. And I love every minute of it. 😊 Double Image - recorded live October 1969 #Jazzsky #JazzVinyl #NowSpinning #VinylCollection

Another Skylight test. I can’t remember when I took this video (maybe 2017 or 2018). My family and I used to enjoy watching Captain Phasma and stormtroopers march through Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. Sadly, the park no longer has this.

I’m experimenting with @skylight.social, so I’m posting this video from 2018: A rare sighting of Handy, a shark more terrifying than Jaws or The Meg 😉

Well, well, well. Look who's on Bluesky! 👀 If you're interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and clinical medicine, give @ai.nejm.org a follow.

Released on this day in 1977: David Bowie - Low The first album in the Berlin Trilogy. Sounds as cutting edge as it did back then. #NowSpinning #VinylCommunity #VinylCollection

More great jazz guitar 🎸 But instead of the three-pronged attack of Dark Magus, we have the smooth, bluesy sound of Kenny Burrell. #Jazzsky #NowSpinning #VinylCommunity #VinylCollection

It’s been a while since I’ve played this one. I forgot how crazy good it is, especially once the third (!) guitarist gets into the act. 🎸🎸🎸 Miles Davis - Dark Magus #Jazzsky #NowSpinning #VinylCommunity #VinylCollection

The great thing about Dr. G’s videos is you don’t need to be a medical professional to enjoy them.

For some reason, on this #NewYearsEve, I’m not thinking about 2025. I’m thinking about Y2K. I can’t believe it’s been 25 years since that whole thing. Anyway, I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year. 🎉🎊🥳 (Photo taken December 1999)

This was Hank Mobley’s last session for Blue Note and as a leader, and it wasn’t released for 10 years. It’s too bad—even after 25+ albums, he was still innovating. He could have been a force in the 80s, when young Jazz musicians found inspiration from the hard bop masters. #Jazzsky #NowSpinning
