Rabbit Hole | David Lindsay-Abaire

#Tuesdaytunes (on Wednesday)
@TieDyeDude I still haven't streamed that Philly radio show that you mentioned a few weeks back, but it led to a revelation tonight. I was listening to a favorite artist of mine that I've posted about before - Stas Thee Boss and remembered she is a radio dj on a west coast public radio station, KEXP. But for some reason, it never occurred to me to try to stream her show...until tonight. And it's great! 👇

Billypar https://www.kexp.org/shows/Street-Sounds/ I'm listening to it now - it's on every Saturday night, but they have the last two episodes available. It's a great mix of old and new hip hop, classic and avant garde. Great for finding new artists, and Stas has already introduced me to so much hip hop and soul through a series of playlists she posts on Spotify called Late Night Sauce: https://open.spotify.com/user/1274906161?si=pz_VNCgZQS2FbMMMkcEKpQ 2d

Billypar And while we're on the topic of music discovery, this week I found out that another British hip hop artist I follow Lex Amor (who I came across via a different hip hop radio-style program on Bandcamp, lol) has a 35 hour (!) playlist on her Spotify page called AMOR that seems amazing. It's more chill and has a blend of hip hop, r&b, and soul. She's also a DJ, but maybe that goes without saying 🎧🎙 2d

Billypar Here's AMOR: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6YrZ8tR1Zn3ojtCU1XNaKn?si=wcgWYJCVSwG_cMxol9p9... 2d

TieDyeDude Oh my, so much to listen to! That's awesome. I've been in the mood for some R&B/soul. Thanks. 1d

Billypar @TieDyeDude Both of those artist-created playlists have a great variety of R&B and soul, old and new - hope you enjoy! 14h

This reads like Greek tragedy. It's very clever actually. And I love the goofy cover.

Respect for Acting | Uta Hagen

Book mail!

If this---voice acting, practicing multiple languages, learning about recording, performing music again after a long hiatus (and adding a new instrument)---is a midlife crisis, I am enjoying it more than I expected. It's kind of terrifying but mostly in a good way.

LiteraryinLawrence All of those things sound really cool! 1mo

The Mayor of Zalamea: The Best Garrotting Ever Done | Pedro Calderon de La Barca, Adrian Mitchell

pick

This was not as good as Life is a dream, but still a fun and interesting play. The theme of women being taken advantage of and the law allowing men to not suffer consequences while they are socially ostracized is repeated. Makes me interested in learning more about the author's life that in the XVII century he was so interested in representing women's problems on stage

Theatre of the Unimpressed: In Search of Vital Drama | Jordan Tannahill

so-so

I liked this one more than I didn't, but in taking aim at "boring" theatre, the author comes off as supercilious, as if his tastes, ideas, and aesthetics are superior to all else. I agree that we need more boldness in theatre, that there need to be new approaches to the development of new plays and the structures of arts institutions, that artists need more freedom to fail- but I also wish we could be more "Yes, and..." in our thinking. ???

Andrea313 YES to the plays that wrestle with form and structure, that interrogate the so-called canon and its usefulness. But YES also to glossy Broadway musicals and regional revivals of The Crucible and the children's theatre that brings up our next generation of audience and practitioners. Please, let's let theatre be expansive and multi-faceted and allow more and more and more ways for us to engage with it. Bonus #TomKitten because he's always lurking! 2mo
