WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

6D and 6E, effects and grams. Is that an actual bass drum mounted on the wall of the studio? I think it might be.

I've never heard it myself, but imagine the TV mix of this film that omits all of the profanity. "We're fucked, man!" repeated 600 times, with bad dubbing to make it "We're fudged, man!" This is one aspect of the industry that I believe has gone extinct, thankfully.

Going through a box of papers I found this timeless text printed on a sheet of paper which used to hang on the wall of my studio when I was at The Outpost Building on Hollywood Blvd in the 1990s. Christopher Isherwood, "Prater Violet," 1945

I have no doubt that Afrik Bawantu would leave you sweaty & smiling at a show. The Ghanaian singer & djembe player's newLP is an uptempo fusion of classic Afrobeat grooves & his highlife roots, delivered by a seriously tight ten piece London ensemble.

European sports rivalries just hit different. In America we will hate a rival because they beat us in the playoffs a couple times. In Europe they are like "yes we hate that team, because in 1456 they disposed our king and did a light genocide against us. Also they dive a lot."

My latest album NEW MODERN STRINGS was inspired in part by the classic NEW ANCIENT STRINGS after I discovered the Gravikord, a thoroughly modern electric instrument inspired by the kora.

Heather Cox Richardson’s daily newsletter is an extremely useful take on current events from the perspective of a historian. A concise & pointed overview with receipts & links to sources. Much more useful to me than the coverage in major media like the NY Times.

Is there good journalism and opinion in the NYT sometimes? Of course. And sometimes there are useful items on Facebook Marketplace. But what is it _for_? It's for the same thing as Facebook, and run with the same arrogance and insularity, based on the same fictions.

In 1968 in U.S. Navy boot camp at Great Lakes, they showed a movie to us. What do you show a bunch of white boys? "She" starring Ursula Andress is a 1965 British film about an archaeologist who finds a lost city ruled by a mysterious queen whose love holds the promise of immortality. Duh.

In 1983 I had taken no drugs or alcohol at all before a screening of Nic Roeg's PEEFORMANCE and I had a terrifying disassociative episode during the film which I interpreted as an acid flashback. I've been too scared to ever revisit the film, although I love the soundtrack album.
