But also I am worried how cold that church is. The harpist is wearing a puffer coat.

But I think the fact they’re toxic is one of the things that makes this duet so genius. The lapping symmetry of their cooed blandishments to each other, the erotic caress of their counterpoint, the gorgeous arrival at a unison — when we know he will murder her. The irony! And yet the beauty.

It was so fun to talk with the great Matt Gabriele (THE BRIGHT AGES, OATHBREAKERS) about medieval heists and historiography!

Thank you for all the ways you stand up to this administration and its corruption!

As a young teen reading lots of swords & sorcery (including Fritz Lieber) I was always struck by the ugly emphasis on busty whores and tavern wenches and the myth of the rogue hero man who screws and leaves. The sad thing is, for teens, that then seems adult and male, not zitty teen.

If someone had been killed this would have been a crime, and making matters worse, it’s Trump’s State Fair, so, no witnesses.

Weiss is perfect insomnia listening! Plenty of elegant details to notice like counted sheep crossing a road, but nothing sonically jarring to wake you up if it works and you start to drowse.

Very cool — they look oddly Celtic (with their twists) but in a Western context the smooth plasticity of their forms would also read as early 20th C (Art Deco adjacent).

Unfortunately I missed it by about two years. I am sad to say that the organ scholars when I was there were not wildly gifted. One conducted the opening of Handel’s Messiah in 3/4.
