The unplugged overkill of the 1990s made live albums uncool, only to be resurrected in the 2010s/2020s with Tiny Desk concerts

I love this new show and your conversations (and snippets of mentioned songs) but could you play more of the song in question, or perhaps, like Song Exploder, playing it in its entirety at the end?

I love The Jam but “A Town Called Malice” has been on too many soundtracks

I finished it last night and saw them as co-protagonists, since they alternated chapters, and they helped each other on their respective journeys. It’s a wonderful book in so many ways.

Only grant holders and managers got this email. Not even current FLAS fellows

As someone whose job it is to manage IFLE-funded NRC and FLAS grants, I can unfortunately attest this is all happening. It is still unclear if the grants will continue without any staff at Dept of Education to oversee them.

The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera @vajra.me was the best book I read all year, and won the Nebula too. Amazing speculative fiction about revolution, false prophets, and real ones
