One of my (deeply, deeply flawed) musical heroes, Art Pepper recorded for Fantasy via Galaxy and Contemporary Records. I became aware of him via an NME cassette freebie, from the early 1980s and bought Art Pepper "Today", on Galaxy in a record shop in Strabane Co. Tyrone when visiting my in laws.

It's good we're focusing on the ballroom as a metonymn for this regime's gaudy, sadistic and heartless corruption.

But we gotta get deeper!

Marcy also focuses on THE BUNKER Trump is also rebuilding.

Hi Arjan,
RE: Illusions Thanks so much for the selection.
FYI the singer's name is spelt Caoilfhionn with the i before the l. It's an Irish name pronounced "Keelin", which is quite a challenge for us insular Brits.

The last few episodes have been so interesting, the links between the seemingly totally unconnected and I love that the influence of Jazz, so often written out of Rock history, is fully acknowledged. Great stuff. Thanks Andrew.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
