Steve Crlenica and his tamburitza band from the early 50s on the Hollywood, CA label Slavtone: this is why it should be illegal for Serbian tamburitza bands to play the boogie

Here are a pair of discs recorded in Paris with Arabic handwriting on the labels. The first has two solo instrumentals and the second has two duets with piano. Listen here:

When you give a bunch of pent-up, undisciplined mediocrities the power to hurt people the ape bloodlust simply takes over.
Anger feels like power to dumbfucks

This is a favorite of mine, gorgeous, but it flies by pretty fast, so I usually listen to both sides twice when I pull it out.

“The sleight of hand is that worship music presents itself as the opposite of propaganda. It’s marketed as personal, as intimate, as you-and-God-alone-in-a-room, and yet it is consumed en masse, sung by stadiums full of people who all believe they’re having a private conversation with the divine…

AI can't even make a duplicate of the same image that it just created - it is irreparably probabilistic and a juggernaut of mediocrity

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Valerio Longoria y su Conjunto playing in that killer polyrhythmic huapango style, "Canto A Veracruz." Early 50s. Longoria is one of the absolute legends of Tejano Conjunto music.

sometimes i watch classic hollywood films — this happened recently with HIGH NOON — and i think, “yeah i get it, this whips.” i’m having a similar experience with music right now and specifically the work of duke ellington. i’m listening to the man’s work and i’m like, “yeah, this stuff is sick”
