Alf Clausen, Emmy-Winning Composer for ‘The Simpsons,’ Dies at 84 Alf Clausen, the veteran composer with two Emmy wins and 30 nominations whose whimsical scores brightened such television series as The Simpsons, Moonlighting and, purely coincidentally, ALF, has died. He was 84.

Systemic protections and guardrails are essential to a functioning society. Nature understands this even if oligarchs don't.

Rhythm Fest is only one month away! Sat June 28 in Chicago at the Epiphany Center for the Arts #musicsky #classicalsky #synthsky #percussion

Rob Reich, multi-instrumentalist and composer, dies at 47 Musician Rob Reich made his mark on the Mission, and the greater Bay Area, throughout a prolific, wide-ranging career.

Heartbreaking and devastating. Rob was one of the most breathtakingly talented musicians I’ve ever witnessed, and easily one of the kindest humans I’ve ever met. We’ll all miss him and his absence will be felt across the Bay Area for years to come. RIP, buddy missionlocal.org/2025/05/rob-...

Playing Rhythm Fest in Chicago Sat June 28! Easily one of the most insane lineups I’ve been part of with performances by Third Coast Percussion, Jlin, Tyondai Braxton, and loads more. Tix/info at thirdcoastpercussion.com/event/rhythm... #musicsky #percussion

Far worse ways indeed

Oganesson, by Tortoise 1 track album

There are worse ways to wake up than to news there's a new track of trademark slacker exotica from Tortoise. Apparently it's their first new recording in almost a decade.

If this isn’t nighttime music I don’t know what is
