You can count on Drew Nicola to deliver the goods on @sunrauniverse.bsky.social
SUN RA: Do the Impossible, directed by Christine Turner, premieres as a PBS American Masters documentary on February 20th. It's an excellent primer told by esteemed academics and illustrated with glorious archival material. Aside from two Arkestra members, there's minimal interview crossover with our film, and Marshall Allen—a key through line in our documentary— is not a major part.

THE MAGIC CITY: Birmingham According to Sun Ra, directed by Guillaume Maupin, focuses entirely on Herman Poole Blount's Alabama days before his transformation into SUN RA. Shot on 16mm as a hometown story lovingly told. It premieres at the Big Ears Music Festival in March.

I’ve been in Portland since Sunday and am outraged by how much I enjoyed @powells.bsky.social as well as all of @cohenesque.bsky.social’s recommendations. (Yes I visited Malkmus’ old place.)

Asked my wife for the new Laughing Hyenas book for my birthday. We stopped by the local bookstore and they handed us the book she ordered for me.
The cover of a children’s book featuring the hyenas from the Lion King, not the book about John Brannon’s band Laughing Hyenas.

Again, they have the means for mass mobilization. Understand that doing a cool thing once doesn’t achieve the objective alone. Chase momentum and attention! Cory, as a former D1 athlete to another, always be on offense!

Can we get a dollop of praxis, or is a half-baked ask to get into good trouble enough? Last time we got into Good Trouble all we got was gassed by Dem mayors.
