Gonna do a listening project of Mieczysław Weinberg’s string quartets. Partly because I’ve never listened to them in order and I want to get a better handle on them, and also so that hopefully some of the few people who read this and haven’t already heard them decide to check them out!

Why do none of the reviews of Krallice’s Ygg Huur comment on the fact that 4 of the 6 tracks are exactly 6 minutes and 42 seconds long?? I feel like that’s pretty notable and I’m curious how and why they made it that way. #metalsky

Downloaded the full discography of Krallice on Bandcamp as a Christmas listening project the other day and really enjoying it, but can’t get past Years Past Matter. Takes a couple listens to get into, but once it clicks it’s hard to stop listening! #metalsky

Current listening: Dead as Dreams by Weakling. Really just a stunning album whose legendary status truly does it justice. I’m amazed by the almost contrapuntal guitar writing throughout, with riffs that complement each other while subtly shapeshifting, like smoke from two fires

Occasionally I start thinking I’m too cool for the Brahms piano quintet and then I’m reminded that no I’m not. Current listening: Arthur Rubinstein with the Guarneri Quartet going hard in the scherzo.

Feels notable that Politico is now using this straightforward description of Trump as “a longtime associate of Epstein.”

Screenshot from Politico playbook: On Saturday, Trump a longtime associate of Epstein - tried to tamp down the intra-MAGA revolt with a post on Truth Social reiterating his support for Bond and suggesting that the Epstein files had been manufactured by his Democratic opponents.

Siri, what’s a good name for a villain with strong ties to the crypto sector?

Screenshot from punchbowl news:

So far, the only major Democratic candidate in the race is former Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-N.C.), who said in a statement that "no matter which MAGA loyalist Donald Trump hand-picks to run in North Carolina, I'm the Democrat who's ready to take them on and win. Nickel has strong ties to the deep-pocketed crypto sector.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Ok my nascent obsession with Holmboe continues with his symphony 6, which is absolutely fantastic! Feels like a missing link between Shostakovich and Allan Pettersson.

Today’s (and yesterday’s) listening: Beethoven’s late quartets with Quatuor Ébène, particularly op. 131 and the Große Fuge. Music that’s harsh, uncompromising, and depressing, but still somehow offers hope without making it seem inevitable or easy.
