  2. Thinking about how some writers spoke of typing out stories by their predecessors (Hemingway, Fitzgerald) in order to get deeper inside the language, as I type out Cecil Taylor's prose-poem liner notes to 1966's Unit Structures as research for...something.

    Fading traces—metal texture.

  5. Bought the Penguin reprint of Harry Crews' A CHILDHOOD and decided to re-purchase FLORIDA FRENZY, a collection of short pieces I owned ~25 years ago. The photo of Crews on the cover bears a frightening resemblance to my late father.

  6. Took me a solid minute to realize that that payment processing company meant "point of sale" when they emailed me about using their new "POS system". Either way, no thanks.

  7. Today on BA, a review of the debut album by Abhorrent Expanse, a genuinely unique and fascinating fusion of improv and death metal:

  9. If you're in the mood for instrumental stoner psych-rock with a surprisingly dubby and immersive sound, I fully endorse Black Sky Giant.

  10. Read this thread about an incredible album — one of my favorite Andrew Hill releases.

  11. Some really good shit coming up on BA this week and next. Improvised death metal, a brilliant but far-too-little-known avant-jazz album, and a new podcast, all in the next 10 days. Don't miss out!

  12. There's something deeply fucked up about a commercial for an antidepressant that includes "don't worry — taking it won't make you fat" as one of the disclaimers.

  18. Currently readng maybe the least surprising music bio EVER. Oh, Bill Frisell was a nice, polite guy who listened to his parents but grew his hair long in high school? I would absolutely NEVER HAVE GUESSED from listening to, I don’t know, FIVE NOTES OF THE GUY’S MUSIC.

  19. It sucks that Discogs crushes album covers down to 600x600 jpegs, but FYI, Adobe's Lightroom Classic will sometimes allow you to enhance those images enough to read back-cover liner notes.
