The river carves the land. Collects its gossip, hears all its spirited stories. Blends them into its own song. Witches listen to this fluid singing of place, gathers omens as they float by. She runs with the river and absorbs its wisdom. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Thousands of rare American songs spanning jazz, blues and gospel. That’s thanks to a collaboration between UC Santa Barbara and the non-profit Dust-to-Digital Foundation , which digitized the recordings from rare and aging vinyl collections.

Writing CVs is bad enough, but self promotional press releases etc is much worse.

I've recently written the satan press release and a biog for an upcoming album, and lemme tell you - I felt like a right dick doing it.
How are we all doing fellow musicians? I’m writing my artist bio and I feel like the biggest tool writing about myself in the third person

The Ashes - known to me as my biennial attempt to pass myself off as a cricket fan - gets underway this week.
There's something really very wonderful about 5 day, unlimited over test cricket that, for me at least, cannot be reproduced in T20, ODIs or any other audience friendly format.

The “independent musician distribution mechanism” landscape is fracturing as people anticipate the crushing of Bandcamp by various corporate owners. @ampwall.com, @subvert.fm and now @mirlo.space, who I’d not heard of until this post, and likely others.
It’s going to get difficult to keep track.

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

mentioned before I think, but there’s a really good episode of the mastering show podcast which covers emre ramazanoglu’s efforts to recreate the mixes for an atmos remaster https://www.themasteringshow.com/episode-101
The Mastering Show #101 - Mixing and mastering Brian Eno - with Emre Ramazanoglu - The Mastering Show Podcast
Brian Eno is probably the musician, producer and artist who has had the single biggest influence on my music taste and enjoyment over the years. His work speaks for itself and needs no introduction !

This is Donald Trump levels of stupidity. Do not, for the love of all that is holy, use emojis in file names.
No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?
