I think I prefer this live version of "I Can See The Sun in Late December" to the just-released studio version, but time will tell. It's a gift in and of itself that we now get to compare them! youtu.be/lhIwcpBaCNk

It's amazing to have an iconic artist share gems from their vault while they are still alive, as opposed to their estate offering up questionable odds and ends posthumously. This is 5😯!

Pete Alonso fires the Orioles into the lead with his second home run of the game. That's his 40th home run of the season, and it gives Baltimore a 4-3 lead over the Blue Jays in the eighth. Where would the Orioles be without that guy?

But fear not, Apple says, this data isn't sent to Apple/gets encrypted, speakers aren't ID'd, and there's a chime for the 15-second thing. @lhn.bsky.social reports:

What Happened 25 Years Ago

Björk, ‘Pagan Poetry’

Björk released her fifth solo album, “Vespertine,” on Aug. 27, 2001. Expecting many listeners to hear the album as MP3 files, she chose instrumentation that would survive compression: the high, plinking sounds of a harp and custom-made plexiglass music boxes, playing countermelodies that suggest Asian music. As Björk sings about warily falling in love, her voice rises from breathy and tentative to an earthy growl. Suddenly everything falls away and Björk, unaccompanied, sings, “I love him,” soon joined by backup Björks concurring, “She loves him.” It’s love as a rapturous, uncertain leap into the unknown.

"I think a good life is a life where what you've given outpaces what you've made. | hope when | die, people talk less about my writing and more about the kind of (hopefully) caring, and thoughtful life the writing has allowed for. Dolly Parton was a champion of that idea, that fullness. You make some things people love, and that affords you an opportunity to be several different people, and if you choose the good options, the world will remember you for more than what you produced." -Hanif Abdurraqib (Instagram)
