Next up: Well I don’t know if my Dad was familiar with Idris Ackamoor and/or The Pyramids, but I enjoy having the box set of their first albums, and copies of the three fantastic ones they’ve made in recent years, on the shelf.

The old records are a lot more like Percussion and Reeds Gone Wild 🪘🪘🪈

Saturday listening. When I saw this in a thrift I immediately placed that my Dad had this in his collection when I was a kid.

I was wondering how the sound would be with all 45mins of the Fifth on one side, but it’s quite acceptable! And some notes taboot.

Huzzah to my excellent @stlpublicradio.bsky.social colleague Paola Rodriguez for taking lead on this great web story from “No Kings” in St. Peters, where Trump won handily in November.

Ack! Crossing Rt. 70 in the rain to interview a woman holding a “Jesus Is The Only King” sign at the “No Kings” rally in ruby red St. Peters, I slipped and broke my foot.

But you can hear my quick radio report from the protest on @stlpublicradio.bsky.social today & The Gateway podcast.

Is there an album with a better opening trio of songs than Radiohead’s “OK Computer”?

Airbag, Paranoid Android, Subterranean Homesick Alien is a God Tier sequence.

Otherworldly, majestic, inspiring, heartbreaking, frightening, exciting

considering @npr.org is based in dc this seems a natural thing for the network to do in DC. goal: no politicians on the air for a week, only people. get member stations to contribute and make it a system wide project.

I think it would be a huge public service if major media outlets interviewed people given RIF notices and let them explain in detail what their jobs are so that people can judge for themselves whether these positions are wasteful like Trump and Vought claim or whether they help the country prosper.

The architectural and social legacy of a restaurant built in the '50s as an overboard mishmash of styles and cultures.

Art critic Murray Whyte has an interesting piece in @bostonglobe.com about accepting the joy of deliciously trashy aesthetic. (Yes, paywall.) www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/10/a...

The Kowloon has to go. But does it have to go like this? - The Boston Globe

The design for the new Kowloon, at the base of a dull apartment building, is a finger in the eye of the Wongs' beloved Route 1 landmark.

The great Shakespearean Tina Packer says this a lot. Shakespeare was an actor! He wrote the plays to be performed, not to be read. There are even little clues in the text about when to move or take a breath.

I'm absolutely convinced what makes Shakespeare inaccessible to a lot of audiences isn't the iambic pentameter old english it's the fact most plays are rehearsed as spoken verses and not acted with meaning

because when actors actually act out what they're saying it is So Clear

Just a small nitpick, but it’s more that they’re accurately conveying the letter and spirit of the text than changing it into something else.
