YouTube video by DW Classical Music Smetana: The Moldau | Czech Philharmonic & Semyon Bychkov

Out for a lunchtime walk for the first time in ages. Listening to this great version of The Moldau.

I have a soft spot for this melody: it was one of my son’s favorites when he was an infant.

Passage from Clarice Lispector’s The Passion According to G.H.

This is my second time reading The Passion According to G.H., but I feel like I’m reading it for the first time again.

“The drawing wasn’t a decoration: it was a writing.”

Love this intro by Clarice Lispector in The Passion According to G.H.

I read this for a reading group. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but I ended up loving it.

This is the first in a tetralogy (or in this case, a quartet). Has anyone read all four books? How are they?

Rosa Passos & Ron Carter – Entre Amigos

A beautifully recorded album of #BossaNova classics that showcases the immense talents of these two legends.

As an added bonus, my copy was signed by the Maestro himself.

For a long time, I thought it was an underwater cave, like something that would be hidden photographed for National Geographic.

Christopher Iacono's review of The City and Its Uncertain Walls 3/5: I’ve been a fan of Murakami since Kafka on the Shore, though I’ve found his last two novels disappointing (his short stories, though, have been great). My expectations for this book were low, bu...

I don’t write book reviews very often, but I decided to write one for the newest Haruki Murakami book. (I tried to avoid spoilers.)

TL; DR: I enjoyed it, but only in the same way I enjoy blueberry muffins.

YouTube video by Trash Theory "There She Goes", The La’s & The Original Architects of Britpop | New British Canon

I’ll be honest: I never cared for “There She Goes” by The La’s, and I’ve never heard any of their other songs. But wow! Their story is really interesting. And based on the clips I heard in this video, their demos sound really cool.

The White Stripes nominated for the Rock Hall of Fame? It’s official: I’m old 😂

(For the record, I like the White Stripes. I just forgot they’ve been around so long now.)

Listening to this right now. One of the best albums ever made.

Screenshot of a Connections game with “Blue, “Velvet,” “Eraser,” and “Head” circled.

Well played, Connections. I walked right into that one. 😂

Van Halen’s “Jump.” I remember that being on the radio a lot in 1984.

These were among the first Miles Davis albums I ever bought when I was still a teenager. They totally blew my mind—and still do.

Are not real,
Only stories for the guilty.
But this marvel feels real.
It ruminates.
It recognizes...

One of my favorite Art Blakey albums.

Cover of the Miles Davis album Double Image

I’ve heard a lot of Miles Davis over the past three decades.

But I’ve never heard Miles like this!

This record is pretty wild. And I love every minute of it. 😊

Double Image - recorded live October 1969

My first time playing an immersive game. I look confused, but I made it to the finish line.

The first record I ever owned. Sadly, I was a kid and destroyed it, and I no longer have it.

Cool! 😎 I’ll have to check this out later.

Rest in peace 😢

I got the latest iOS update and was able to post a video. I was trying to tag you in the description, but that feature doesn’t seem to be available yet.

Cool! I’m definitely interested.

Another Skylight test.

I can’t remember when I took this video (maybe 2017 or 2018).

My family and I used to enjoy watching Captain Phasma and stormtroopers march through Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. Sadly, the park no longer has this.

I’m experimenting with @skylight.social, so I’m posting this video from 2018:

A rare sighting of Handy, a shark more terrifying than Jaws or The Meg 😉
