Just leaving this here, for anyone who needs it today.

This has become our morning routine. This morning (Steve Reich) was the first time I didn‘t want to listen to multiple recordings of the say‘s selection. Oh well, tomorrow is Shubert. @AnnCecilie

I got this email from Taylor Bradshaw inviting me to his private discord group and here, I‘m showing my response to the email and his response. I‘m nervous about it. I‘m a very quiet person. I don‘t know if I‘m going to have anything helpful to contribute to his music project or if I‘ll be saying very much during the Zoom meetings. I don‘t know if this will be the right fit for me but I‘ll try it out and see.

TRANSA was a compilation album from last year highlighting the work of trans and non-binary artists. My second favorite song on it is a cover of "I Would Die 4 U" with Lauren Auder and Wendy & Lisa, which led me to a deep dive of W&L.
Members of Prince's band The Revolution, they have been recording since 1986 and also write for TV and film, including the Emmy-winning theme of Nurse Jackie.

Last year I did the 100 New-To-Me albums challenge. I listened to 100 albums I'd never heard before. You can see them listed in the link below. I'm doing the challenge again this year - any recommendations for albums to check out?

I have to thank @Librarybelle for putting this on my radar. When Jess posted about this series I thought this is exactly what I want for 2025. I ran out on New Year‘s Eve and bought this one and am so glad I did. I look so forward daily to each piece. Highly recommend. Thanks, Jess!!

A fantastic music memoir! The audiobook is fantastic, but now I‘d like a physical copy too, just to see the photos. Diamond and Horovitz tell their story so well, and it‘s very obvious that they dearly love and miss Yauch, and I‘d say this book is a beautiful tribute to him (RIP).

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView great question

1/ yes but life has also taught me to say mostly yes, as sometimes yes can also make things tougher

2/ this is the closest I could find to Coen brothers' screenplay of “O Brother, Where Art Thou?“, a fantastic read and I love the movie just as much.
