Also consider the production and post of single reader vs. cast. There is more to recording a group in studio, and the editing in post would be more extensive. Needs a bigger budget. But I do like the idea of different readers for each perspective, as in a reading of Rashômon, a murder mystery.

First I’ve heard the name stonechat, which i don’t think we have in North America. Thank you!

Try a “glaze” or sometimes spelled “glazé”, various makers. It’s a reduction so is thicker and has a stronger flavor. Good for adding to fruit or salads as well as bread.

From 2001, A Space Odyssey; Dave, the surviving astronaut on board requests HAL to open the pod bay doors outside of the space ship to let him in. HAL refuses.

AI models may be developing their own ‘survival drive’, researchers say Like 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000, some AIs seem to resist being turned off and will even sabotage shutdown

I can see how “could have” evolved into spoken “could ah” then devolved into “could have” through social media typing translation.

The irony…oh they don’t get irony.

Thanks for this! One of their early gigs was at San Francisco State University, 1981, in a dorm rec room where my little dorm band also played. They already had that heavy double flam drum sound of Mike Borden’s, Billy’s crisp bass. It was the sound of the future in my impressionable mind.

Was just listening to the album Grant Green - Gooden’s Corner, and thinking I need to read up on his history. Thank you for this great essay Blue Note/Everything Jazz!

Thank you @dannytanaka.bsky.social ! You’re my best and only fan!

This is work in process, a template so far. Changed arrangement since yesterday. (Ditched the Rhodes and replaced upright piano, added strings.)

Photos: Modern skater girls pictured like 19th-century soldiers Bay Area photographer Jenny Sampson’s antique technique captures the majesty and freedom of girls on boards.

Sampson’s “Skater Girls” series doesn’t just document; it mythologizes. Her subjects, young women and nonbinary skaters, appear as fierce revolutionaries — not unlike the Civil War soldiers who populated the tintypes.

Fifty and out: How Gen X became the biggest work losers (with 10 years still to go) As the heyday of the creative economy boom becomes a distant memory, Stephen Armstrong looks at the generation who were once the high-rollers and are now facing an uncertain future as younger workers ...

I’m a few years ahead of Gen X’s clinical definition of “aged between 45 and 59”. But we def aren’t boomers, rather part of a dip in population, present for pre and post punk, creatives, winging it by ear through careers, rejecting labels in our privilege.
