Gender studies scholars should take a look at the TV ads Mike Minogue is running in Massachusetts... You wouldn't know he's a republican, but you definitely know he's a MAN.

I just did a google search and it gave me AI results in Vietnamese, which is awesome considering how much data I've fed these clowns, none of which is in that language.

Feldman is on the lower left? Guston is blue. Musa Mayer is the poet (that's her hair on the right). The guy in the middle with the shades and the whip (?) is the sculptor - who would that be?

tweet from me in 2019: If orchestral programming committees are not now in a bloodthirsty competition to book Lizzo, the classical music world is in even more trouble than we thought.

If I hadn’t overslept I would have been on the R train on my way to my office job in Midtown at exactly the wrong time. Instead I watched it from my roof in Brooklyn. After the second plane hit, my asshole neighbor said, “We let these people into our country and look what happens.”

I'm starting to think this preservation is a gen x/millennial-specific phenomenon bc of how we experienced culture pre-00's. Young people are in a very different situation now, without an older generation's aesthetics hanging over them as much as the boomers' did through the CD/VHS/DVD/cable era.

I just found my CD of the necks "Aether" and listened to it from beginning to end. I strongly recommend - especially this week. It's also "Aether's" 25th anniversary this year.

I went through a Ballard phase recently and yes, can confirm - few writers have been as right as he was. cf High Rise, Concrete Island, the Drought, etc etc etc etc. Looks like it's a particularly Kingdom Come-esque day in the UK today.

As the academic year kicks off, I want to highlight an important issue that many folks, including some of my colleagues, are not aware of: the new earnings test imposed by the U.S. Department of Education as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

I'll post more about this tomorrow but yes, I'm very honored that my review of David Toop's excellent analysis of Dr. John's "Gris-Gris" album was posted today at the New York Review of Books.

Free advice- instead of doomscrolling, you could go to Pina Bausch's website, which is full of gems like Chantal Akerman's incredible 1983 doc about Pina... (h/t Hilton Als who posted a clip on IG, which inspired me to google...) www.pinabausch.org/post/one-day...

‘One day Pina asked...’ by Chantal Akermann

For some reason I have "don't believe the hype" going through my head this morning... can't think of any political or sporting events that could inspire that... or practically any other aspect of life in this totally f-ed country.

I've written a long essay about education in the context of my reunion with my teacher Anthony Braxton. Given the many posts I see here about the fraught state of higher education, I don't know if this is one of them or a counterbalance- but it is my story. www.tedreichman.com/writing/tric...

Listening to this excellent show now. I appreciate the kind words from DoYeon, but what I really love about it is her story about her educational experience with us at NEC. DoYeon speaks so candidly about her musical evolution here- it's beautiful. I'm very thankful to have played a very small role.

I'm _very_ biased but I listened to the entire record all the way through this morning and I think it's a masterpiece. Wendy is a genius and it's a true honor to be part of their musical world. I don't think they look at this app anymore so I feel ok saying that.
