David Lowery: “When my younger son was about 12 he decided he needed me to stop telling him stories about meeting members of the various bands he was listening to. ‘Dad, these stories you tell us, I'm sure were really important moments in your life, and you should be proud of them, but you know sometimes it takes the magic out of the music.’ Last week he's driving me to the airport and he decides to play me Jason Molina. I let him tell me all about Songs:Ohia, Magnolia Electric Company and The Sojourner Series. I didn't say a word. Now I'm roasting him here.”Jason Molina interview:

You also worked with David Lowery. How did you first meet David?
I HAVE BEEN A CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN FAN FOR YEARS AND YEARS. THAT WAS ONE BAND THAT STOOD OUT IN THE YEARS WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO A LOT OF HEAVY MUSIC, I THOUGHT BRINGING ALL OF THESE FOLK MUSIC ELEMENTS INTO THIS PUNK ROCK WORLD WAS BRILLIANT. I STILL COULD LISTEN TO BIG BLACK OR BLACK SABBATH AND NOT FEEL THAT CAMPER WAS OUT OF LINE. IT WAS ALL ABOUT GOOD SONGS, SO WHEN I HEARD THAT ALL OF THEIR GEAR HAD BEEN STOLEN I OFFERED UP WHAT I HAD TO THE BAND, THAT WAS HOW WE FIRST MET.

What was Lowery’s Sound of Music studio like? How was Lowery’s method different from Albini’s?
FOR THE SESSIONS WITH LOWERY, HE ACTUALLY WOULD PUT ON A GUITAR OR A BASS OR WHATEVER AND WORK OUT IDEAS ON THE FLOOR. THIS SESSION WAS MOSTLY A SITUATION LIKE "THE PYRAMID ELECTRIC COMPANY" WHERE I WOULD SLEEP IN THE STUDIO AND WRITE ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT AND MORNING AND TRY TO COME UP WITH IDEAS TO SHOW TO THE BAND. DAVID WAS VERY GOOD AT HELPING TO GET THE ARRANGEMENTS TO BE INTERESTING. ALSO ON THE SESSIONS' CONTROLS AND OTHER MUSICAL DUTIES WAS ALAN WEATHERHEAD. HE BROUGHT A BRILLIANT STYLE AND A LOT OF TASTE TO THE FINAL RECORD.

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

Streaming prices are rising 3x as fast as inflation. All 8 major streamers w/out ads will cost you $151/month now vs $90 in 2022. Cable companies made studios fight for every price increase. Remove the middle man, and you remove the guardrails. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus... #TVSky

Congrats, you cut the cord. Now you have six more cords. Streaming prices are rising three times as fast as inflation, making escaping cable company greed now seem quaint.

icymi I wrote a little ode to “Jupiter Ascending,” a very important film, in Saturday’s @newyorker.com Daily newsletter
"Jupiter Ascending" (2015)
There's just so much more nonsense than sense in the Wachowskis' magnificently insane space epic. The story, I guess, is about a beautiful Earthling toilet-scrubber catapulted into interplanetary political intrigue because she's a perfect DNA match for a recently-deceased galactic oligarch—but you're doomed if you go looking for coherent plot. Better to absorb this masterpiece as a high-production-value tone poem: Channing Tatum as a canine-spliced rollerblading bodyguard; something involving really hot siblings in a regeneration hot tub; Eddie Redmayne doing oh, so much ACTING; and something happens with bees? Whatever. It's all enormous and gorgeous-looking.—Helen Rosner, staff writer

Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will. In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period beginning tonight at 6:00PM.

I love how this contradicts with the argument for the deportations - that migrants were stealing jobs from everyone else. Now the claim is that the jobs were created by migrants just as they are now gone with them.
