Free advice- instead of doomscrolling, you could go to Pina Bausch's website, which is full of gems like Chantal Akerman's incredible 1983 doc about Pina... (h/t Hilton Als who posted a clip on IG, which inspired me to google...) www.pinabausch.org/post/one-day...
‘One day Pina asked...’ by Chantal Akermann
Documentary film about Pina Bausch and her Tanztheater. France 1983, original title: ‘Un jour Pina a demandé...’

For some reason I have "don't believe the hype" going through my head this morning... can't think of any political or sporting events that could inspire that... or practically any other aspect of life in this totally f-ed country.
Very exciting - "Victims of Sin" has been on there for a while and it is _awesome_. Can't wait to see more of these rumbera films...

Blood & Fire comps are easily among my most played records of all time... I still listen to them regularly. RIP.
Tom Robinson@marsdenmouse.bsky.social · 2mo agoReally sad news, hearing that the mighty Steve Barrow has passed. Partnered the Daddy Kool shops in the 70’s and compiled 100’s of essential sets. When he co-founded Blood & Fire in 1993, he transformed the reggae music business, making sure those players got their due. A knowledgeable, kind soul
huge gratitude to non-event, doing the work in the Boston area for 25 years.
Susanna Bolle@susannabolle.bsky.social · 3mo ago@non-event.bsky.social turns 25 today. Our first show was on May 13, 2001 at MassArt and featured an outrageously good double bill of Filament and Poire_Z. I'm listening to this, which I purchased that night, to celebrate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRpZ...
always good to see that Arto is out there doing stuff

Pellechs @pellechs.bsky.social · 3mo agoThis hit me so hard this week.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this yesterday - especially those who commented and shared. I really appreciate that it's connecting with people.
Ted Reichman@tedreichman.bsky.social · 3mo agoI've written a long essay about education in the context of my reunion with my teacher Anthony Braxton. Given the many posts I see here about the fraught state of higher education, I don't know if this is one of them or a counterbalance- but it is my story. www.tedreichman.com/writing/tric...
A beautiful account, a career - a life - spent on the most deeply human of pursuits, in the increasingly dehumanised setting of higher education #universities #improvisedmusic

Tricentric Educations — Ted Reichman
35 years of history with Anthony Braxton - and our reunion.

Listening to this excellent show now. I appreciate the kind words from DoYeon, but what I really love about it is her story about her educational experience with us at NEC. DoYeon speaks so candidly about her musical evolution here- it's beautiful. I'm very thankful to have played a very small role.

I was only able to watch a few minutes but I got chills... It's amazing to me how many times Umm Kulthum has been the music I _needed_ to hear. Thanks for the reminder, Jay.
Jay Babcock@jaywbabcock.bsky.social · 4mo ago"Umm Kulthum: A Voice Like Egypt" (dir. Michal Goldman, 1996) An actual, real-life voice of a nation's people. Watch this film and swoon, and then weep. Aesthetics plus integrity plus courage in action: a working class heroine is something to be. jaybabcock.substack.com/p/landline-v...
Can't imagine a more perfect decoration for celebrating this cursed country than this hot dog couple cooking their offspring,
I spent many many hours in the Berklee location in the 80's... every saturday for four years. learned a lot and didn't spend that much. Glad to hear he's still in business.

Congratulations to @melvingibbs.bsky.social on the new book. Can't wait to read. Really enjoyed this pod...
Marc Masters 🌵@marcissist.bsky.social · 4mo agoNext week on The Music Book Podcast, @melvingibbs.bsky.social explains how he wrote his great new book “How Black Music Took Over The World,” out next week on @basicbooksgroup.bsky.social
I'm _very_ biased but I listened to the entire record all the way through this morning and I think it's a masterpiece. Wendy is a genius and it's a true honor to be part of their musical world. I don't think they look at this app anymore so I feel ok saying that.
