  1. 5. huhtik.

    Music Week: 44 albums, 5 A-list (4 of those old), notes on taxes, wor[l]dle games, the news I didn't report, the book I'm reading. Big week for unpacking. Nice to have your opinions solicited (although what was the USAF band thinking?):

    Book Roundup: jotted down some notes on 40+ books (mostly political), and noted quite a few more; it's been a year since my last such column, so I had a lot to pick from:

    Music Week: 42 albums, 6 A-list, three new picks spread style and straddle the globe, three old ones from a dive into the South African-influence English avant-garde:

    Speaking of Which: The war in Ukraine drags on, and lots of other sad stories:

    Saw a picture of flags at half-staff for Madeline Albright, and first thought was Trump wouldn't have ordered that. Not that Trump realized her pivotal role in NATO, Iraq, and GWOT. For him it was a petty grudge, but Biden honoring Albright exposes a serious blind spot.

    Music Week: 45 albums, 7 A-list, this week's tops of the pops, plus a grizzled veteran, a blast of Surfin' Sahara, some new jazz to keep you on your toes, some old jazz to remind you how it's done, and two Blue Notes memorials:

    Speaking of Which: Much ado about Ukraine, started picking up pieces in early March, returned this week, finding less change than expected; also some other bits that caught my eye and/or assaulted my sensibilities:

    Music Week: 45 albums, 8 A-list, 83% 2022 releases, fairly wide range of looks and feels; also some programming help for browsers, and a bit on how I see this week's writing shaping up; listening, no doubt, will be more of the same:

    Speaking of Rick Scott: Reviewing the Republican Senate Campaign Chairman's plan to unite the right and "rescue the nation" from a long, feverish list of imagined problems, while making an even longer list of real problems much worse:

    Music Week: 47 albums, 10 A-list, best to get this up early so I can get on with my week:

    Music Week: 43 albums (or 50?, 4 A-list (or 2?), a belated step toward closing out 2021, a much deserved book plug, some indexing, some more notes on war and politics and the waste of time that is Facebook:

    Speaking of Ukraine: A modest proposal on preventing (err, ending) the war, along with a survey of background and news, showing that the invasion has many conditions on all sides, not that Putin wasn't solely responsible for the orders:

    Music Week: 53 albums, 8 A-list, finding surprisingly tasty bits in the bottom of the 2021 barrel, and revisiting a very old favorite; also notes on Ukraine, Republicans, and good food:

    Music Week: 66 albums, 8 A-list, 4 of those remarkably diverse (and obscure) late 2021 discovers, 2 moving on to the new year, the other 2 looking way back, plus a few more words on Ukraine and Afghanistan and the mental pathologies making them worse:

    Speaking of Which: added a fairly long PS to Saturday's post, trying to clarify some points on Ukraine, although I mostly wound up doubling down; no need for war, no good can come of it, so why is US so intent on pushing R into a corner?

    Speaking of Which: because the dumbest Ukraine tweet I've seen lately needed more than 240 characters to dismember, plus some other more/less related atrocities:

    Music Week: 55 albums, 5 A-list (including 3 upgrades), only 10 of those 55 are 2022 releases, so still mostly mopping up and taking stock:

    I updated database as well as flat files on Robert Christgau's website last night, including his Dean's List reformatted per P&J custom. New reviews are still embargoed, but proof that they're there is the Year 2021 (release-not-review date) table:

    Music Week: 44 albums, 4 A-list, plus 14 high B+; should be wrapping up the old year, and plunging into the new one. Doing neither with much enthusiasm:
