New Music

Lineup: Elijah Jamal Balbed(ts), Bruce Harris(tr), Mariel Bildstein(trb), Mark G. Meadows(p), Alexander Claffy(b), Aaron Seeber(d)

I sometimes watched Smalls on Facebook, but I saw they have a YouTube channel now, and watched the above players. I don't like that they put a commercial in the middle of a trumpet solo of Bruce Harris. Mariel Bildstein on the trombone is interesting. Mark G. Meadows got his solo.

I need to go to Smalls sometimes soon, that was good. I see a video from 8 years ago, so I guess I've been out of it, and I haven't been going to Facebook as much as I used to. At some point I started doing Reddit more, and Twitter for soccer.

Their most watched video is John Chin.


I've gotten into Mitski. She's a 32 year old Japanese American who lives in Nashville with 7 albums.


The International Sweethearts of Rhythm was a all female swing band from 1937-1948. I love swing music. When jazz was the popular music. Imagine when Rap music is considered classical music and the 80's is seen as the golden era when the form was at it's peak.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

AOC

Dark Brandon meet Dark Alex. I see her advising the republicans to stick to their guns and never compromise. They don’t want to do anything, only obstruct. So they don’t actually need to be unified. Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it. Trump rode that narrative to power, and now tearing down the current government is the idea that drives the Republican base." While we're at it, here's another funny photo from the Onion: And then: I listened to the Times podcast about George Santos . He basically lied about, I don't know, 80% of his resume, and has a mysterious $700k in his "corporation" which has no clients. So he's a Russian or Chinese plant, o...
