recently read 2016 “American Heiress” - the ebook didn’t have photos for some reason but @jeffreytoobin1.bsky.social spends time describing them and the Nolands were all I could picture without googling

shopped for my family for a bbq over the summer and my impression was a big price difference if you buy premade patties that are "organic" / pasture raised (close to veggie burger price) vs large block of ground beef

Today the original artwork for 'Time Out,' by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, sold at auction for a record-breaking $576K. Its artist and designer, S. Neil Fujita, is part of a brilliant new exhibition at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. Here’s a piece I just wrote about him, and the show.

It’s not good. there was Muzak, but humans wrote the songs. and got paid. streaming has devalued performance and now attempts to remove authorship by training models on existing music. It’s theft and will slop-ify public spaces. Regardless of people’s taste levels, they deserve human music.

Wayne @wayneb.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

did you listen to it? I don’t like this, but I think it would fool a majority of non jazz fans. And in a restaurant environment as background music, a high percentage of everyone. (btw I know - I celebrate Darcy and the entire nonesuch catalog!)

it was like a great mix tape. Neneh Cherry track is so good. One of the problems with seeing the 5 hour cut in one sitting is he ran out of music and the U2 song plays like 4 times

Am absolutely loving this 1942 painting "Jumping Jive" by Norman Lewis, from show highlighting musical themes in Lewis's work at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery in Chelsea michaelrosenfeld.com/exhibitions/...

Painting of five figures, bandmembers or the like, playing various instruments, including xylophone, saxophone, drums, etc.
