Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Unique experience. Never been anywhere else like it. 010
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 08/12/2024I can't even remember how I first stumbled up there. Was in college, just wandering. Went up in that cage elevator. Stood a while, then called out to the counter to ask if browsing was allowed. Wound up walking out with an Alvin Curran, a Pauline Anna Strom, a From Scratch from NZ...all new to me. 110
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Love the art, of course. But, oh I also loved NMDS. One of my favorite only-in-New-York places. A true haven. 110
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Despite its skeletal arrangement, this feels gigantic, cinematic, the vocal way out front, an exile haunting its own ghost. Lyrics concern Abenaki women trafficked by whites, then universally rejected for their mixed-race offspring. Ferocious. Riveting. Can't stop listening. tinyurl.com/29j96r3c 010
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Out today, and including my story, "Tell Me When I Disappear". Congrats to everyone. As for you, kid #2, let me beat you to your favorite punchline: yes, you're hilarious, I'm once again using my favorite pen name: And Many Others.

Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Don Henry--composer of maybe the best white-guy song about MLK, and so many more —has a new record about fall. Being him, he gets it all (y’all): the colors and their portent; the sweet nights with real terrors in them; and, here, the dark heart of the heart of the country. tinyurl.com/23cxsh3d 110
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Incredibly, it's been five years since my father-- painter, designer, rocker, clarinetist, author, people-loving hermit, joy spreader-- died.

Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Liked Jamila Woods' last disc, but this one’s wiser, weirder, and warmer—a rare hat-trick. She’s talkin 'bout practice, and getting days right (occasionally), and people she loved or loves. Linking to the single, but don't miss the magical spoken-word ode to her exes. tinyurl.com/cr66uaw4tinyurl.comYouTubeShare your videos with friends, family, and the world 110

Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 27/11/2023My November, 2023 music roundup. A little brightness, or at least company, for dark days. glenhirshberg.substack.com/p/where-i-lo...glenhirshberg.substack.comWHERE I LOVE YOU THE MOSTThe November, 2023 Music Roundup 000
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 17/11/2023(from my next music round-up, out next week): In place of pulse, blooms of electronically altered brass, sampled strings plucked at (barely) accelerated speed, and a whole lot of empty space. Light through bare branches.

Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 13/11/2023Some of the most thoughtful readings of my work that I have ever received. I mean it, and I am grateful. Take good care, please. 011
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 09/11/2023Late to the party (as usual), and he hardly needs me to say so, but JOYLAND really is terrific. SHINING/SALEM'S LOT terrific. For the beautifully evoked era and the titular park, the elegant ghost story and monstrous monster. But most of all for its unironic portrayal of fundamental human decency. 020
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 08/11/2023Brand new ghost story. Free (for now) to all. Hope you enjoy it. glenhirshberg.substack.com/p/ioway 031
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 04/11/2023Closest thing to a...not hopeful, but human and considered response I have heard since this mess erupted. Also a testament to the power of the liberal arts we're casually discarding. Useful for nothing except seeing each other. Saving the world. One hard conversation at a time. tinyurl.com/mr3zkzjm 000
Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 04/11/2023It's pretty static, Stefan. But the makers clearly love the source material. And it has moments, for sure. 110

Glen_Hirshberg @ghostberg.bsky.social · 30/10/2023Anyone else seen this? Series of shorts based on Machen stories. Almost more reading than film, images intermittently striking. But-- as with that early 70s movie based on Wellman's John the Balladeer-- I love that it exists. That it's in the air, and humming. www.imdb.com/title/tt7218...imdb.comHoly Terrors (2017) ⭐ 9.0 | Fantasy1h 13m 050
