music collection I found worthy

Bluegrass covers that gave me goose bumps:

Thunderstruck by Steve'n'Seagulls YouTube

Sweet Child o' Mine by Thunder and Rain YouTube

Sierra Hull - Mad World (Tears For Fears) - DelFest YouTube

Brandi Carlile Covers Crosby, Stills, & Nash’s “Helplessly Hoping” YouTube

I went down a rabbit hole of Helplessly Hoping once:

Suddenly Years Align

The Ladies of the Roach Motel

Leah Taub

Hannah Cameron, Husky Gawenda and Stephen Grady YouTube

My two other songs I love is:

I'm Ready

There's an amazing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode 9, season 2, called "Subspace Rhapsody"

She has gotten into the Vulcan science academy, and she's leaving the ship and that means Spock is losing a girlfriend, and he sings a pretty cool song, "I'm the ex".

But what I like about it is that I was working hard to understand upeksha meditation, equanimity, and I came across the idea that it's being ready, so to me the song has a different meaning than the show, it's about a meditative culmination of the brahma-viharas.

Corn Pudding from Schmigadoon

I put this one on for Ruby, and she pretends to be annoyed but she likes it when serious daddy gets silly with this song.

Bonus: Sweet Jane by Cowboy Junkies 5/4/89. Margo Timmins is amazing.

Wonder by Natalie Merchant.

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.

Consent

You couldn't have a better title to a memoir in these times. You can read about Humbert Humbert, and other male narratives, but the female narrative of the statutory rape is fulfilled by this book. I feel slightly ill while reading this book. What she goes through is off, and it's hard to put a finger on it besides Hebephilia . All the collaborating details from her mother, to her doctors, to her father. Vanessa Springora will be remembered for other things, she is a director and a publisher. I'm not sure if Gabriel Matzneff will be remembered for other things. At least not on this side of the pond. I do have a kind of jealousy for the appreciation of the intellectual life in France. Matzneff cites Lewis Carroll , and others as having the appreciation for youth. I read his Wikipedia page. That led to other questions about photographers who take pictures of their children. That led me down a creepy path. As much as Springora tries to not make it sexy, I wonder ho...
