Chauntee Ross went to Michigan! Go Blue!
Brandi Carlile's accompaniment for "America the Beautiful" before the game last night was SistaStrings. The duo, Chauntee and Monique Ross, played another American anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," on the Library's Stradivarius instruments in 2024.
Here's a clip of that impromptu performance. ⬇️

OK so, my second year in college, (Matrix era for both film history and also my human age) we read parts of the bible in greek -- side note: biblical greek is really nice and easy compared to attic, in my limited experience-- anyway: the opening lines to John stuck with me:
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος

How literal am I being when I say that the universe is a song, and that when the songs ends, it vanishes is the same way music does?
The thread the first post here is riffing on is based on a slide from @kevinjkircher.com talking about how every source of energy is secretly actually a different source of energy. And if you pull this string, you quickly end up at quantum mechanics -- where particles are waves vibrating nothing.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?
