@mielcarz it's one of Zorn's "gamepieces," apparently one of the more obscure ones. Regardless, I always find these are things to be experienced live and not on an album.

National Independent Venues Association: "Live Nationβs reported settlement amount - $280 million - is the equivalent of 4 days of their 2025 revenue, which means they could potentially make it back by this Friday."

I genuinely believe weβd be in a much different place today. If every single day of any Trump presidency there has been a new impeachment filed with all Democrats voting for at every opportunity. Even if there had never been a republican defection it would frame things far more accurately.
boy in retrospect, really shouldnβt have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise
Remember that Noemβs legal husband sat thru 1.5 hearings worth of cuck-shaming and Kristi still lost her job.
Sure hope farmers are enjoying being allowed to say "retard" again because it's really difficult to see what else they're getting for their support.

Like rearranging deck chairs on the proverbial Titanic, except the deck chairs are the literal worst humans in the country.
If your name is Markwayne you better be an American guy in a Japanese video game, insanely good at baseball, or both

Evan Shornstein & Celia Hollander: Unexpected Music II
The climate calls for some peace and this live performance, captured at a lovely-looking venue in Woodstock is just the thing. A duet matching piano with synth and more, it's a [β¦]

John Zorn's Chaos Magick & Simulacrum @ NYC 2024-03-03 https://ijwthstd.blogspot.com/2026/03/john-zorns-chaos-magick-simulacrum-nyc.html
i love 'how people work' stuff. especially love seeing how people who do what i do (or similar) do what they do. jamelle is so thoughtful and its really fun to get that insight into his process
Keeping ICE in existence and βreformingβ it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.
End woke, go broke
MTG: And just like that we are no longer a nation divided by left and right, we are now a nation divided be those who want to fight wars for Israel and those who just want peace and to be able to afford their bills and health insurance.

DC journalists have a golden opportunity.
Just say something like "since they will be honoring an avowed enemy of free speech and a free press, I will not be attending the Correspondents' Association dinner this year."
It's telling how many will not, even when handed to them on a silver platter.
I was at the WHCD where W played the βfunnyβ video of him pretending to search the White House for WMD. I felt like no amount of showers would ever get me clean. Any reporter who goes to this yearβs dinner will be willingly marinating in far more toxic filth.

Shake Stew: Ten One Two
The album title refers to both the Vienna band's tenth year in existence and that they are celebrating with a one-two double release. They've certainly got enough killer ideas to fill an oversized album. Don't [β¦]

I had such an annoying day at work today. Like, want to cockpunch the main aggravator, annoying.

Sorry, it's only 10% among Democrats. Typo on the chart fixed now.
Man, I needed a show like that!
If you have a chance to go see LaMP, do not hesitate. One of the best instrumental jambands this side of Medeski, Martin, and Wood.
