The view outside my studio reminded me of a book I wanted to read: Anne Whiston Spirn’s The Language of Landscape.

Terrific label, great body of releases, and the thread is worth browsing for the album art alone (respectful nod to label co-founder @iza3800.bsky.social)

I'm not finished reading this essay on the "post-avant-garde" in art, but I'm sharing the link anyway because what I've read so far is very interesting. Wait till you get to the part about the artist who made a sex tape with a collector and released it as art! thepointmag.com/criticism/af...

The 2026 DownBeat critics' poll is out, and I am genuinely shocked that one of our releases - the Cecil Taylor/Tony Oxley CD FLASHING SPIRITS - was honored in the Historical Album category, and Burning Ambulance itself got votes for Record Label Of The Year! WTFin'F!

Music journalists: do your research. If you don't find the answer, go to the source and ask the person you are writing about. There’s a big difference between representation and presentation. I am not only someone's wife. My whole life is art, including the rejection of certain concepts.
