very cool, congratulations! can't wait to check them out.

Thanks to everyone who checked out my destroyed Shakespeare artworks yesterday. Not sure why they had a little "moment" on this platform, but I appreciate it. Here is a higher-resolution image of "Macbeth," from my series Ten Tragedies. You can see the complete set at www.tedreichman.com/art

Not sure what could be less "conservative" than this.

one more story - a few years later I ran into Don Byron at the knitting factory and he said, "I was just listening to that Braxton record we played on. I got some new speakers and I wanted to hear what the weirdest record I ever made sounded like!"

yes two days in sear sound recording to tape! and I think one short rehearsal the night before. Incredible first encounters with ac myers, d byron, and so many others. Muhal was hanging around listening...

You can hear 19 year old me on this. My first recording session.

a god-king

"Routinely"

we were just talking about this the other day!

whenever one of these industrial music/fascism crossover moments emerges - and it happens more often than you'd think - I am reminded why I've never been able to tolerate any of that stuff.

Charmaine is awesome and you definitely should see her on this epic tour if you can.

Every targeted institution (my own very much included) should cut and paste this letter onto their letterhead.

I teach at a music school so I hear a fair amount of these.

Pretty sure I was with you- unrest was the opener right?

Very well deserved

very sorry for your loss, Sam.

100+ years later, was the public right about "giving up on their own musicality?"

Hejira's been my favorite for much longer than 2 years...

Cornell Cut Classes by a Pro-Palestinian Professor After an Israeli Student’s Discrimination Complaint Dr. Eric Cheyfitz, who has taught at Cornell for more than two decades, claims the university is attempting to silence him as part of a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism.

just gonna have to keep saying, in company of so many others:

love letters, by lapis 16 track album

It feels a little ridiculous posting about new music when everything is so fucked but here is a new record by a brilliant young musician named Lapis making songs and and noise and dance floor bangers. I helped them finish it. I think you will like it. lapisfromqueens.bandcamp.com/album/love-l...

The Writers Guild of America West and Writers Guild of America East also both condemned the decision and said it stands with Kimmel and his writers. "The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice," it noted. "As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world."

“…our words have made you rich.”
