#1236 Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Sesame threat

I recorded this double-guzheng improvisation today thinking of my children threatening to eat each other’s sesame treats.

I dreamed a burglar broke into a mansion in New England. It was abandoned, so he started squatting there. In one of the rooms he found a collection of rare Portuguese fado records, LPs and 78s. He turned the ground floor of the mansion into a bar so that people could come and listen to the music.

A motorcycle ... with an electric motor, so it never needs fuel ... and two foldable solar panels, so it can recharge while parked, thus needing no outlet.

Effectively infinite range. Total freedom.

Lamonica looks to the future (One Way Ticket) and the past (Hot August Night) in his lyrics. He is an optimist despite the current Stateside mess. The songs on Pony Tales come out swinging, not to throw a punch, but as an invitation to dance the night away.

Another recommendation for mystery lovers: Seicho Matsumoto's 1958 novel "Tokyo Express" (also published as "Points and Lines").

This police procedural is a tightly plotted tale of murder and corruption. You can read it in less time than it takes Inspector Mihara to travel from Fukuoka to Sapporo.

Deeply delighted to share out @zachschonfeld.bsky.social's @pitchfork.com Sunday Reviews piece on one of my all time fave albums, the #BooRadleys 1993 masterwork _Giant Steps_. I helped Zach a touch with research and he kindly quoted from my 1993 interview with bassist Tim Brown.

I dreamed I met someone who had invented a time machine, and I immediately hired them to take me to 4th century Wales so I could take scenic footage for a film adaptation of Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain.

I wish I was teaching a course on popular art in the 21st century, just so I could include this. It belongs in a museum (complimentary).
They line up perfectly.

Vinyl heads and CD collectors who dig the modern "cosmic americana" tripped out pedal steel sound, this fine album is now available in physical media...I dig it, like most Bobby Lee projects (the British choogler not the overrated traitor general)
