I'm having an unexpected moment with the theme song from #Xanadu. Not sure why (apart from the fact it was written by the legendary Jeff Lynne) but I'm going with the flow... youtu.be/cLi8fTlDEag?...

I've been watching Satyajit Ray films lately and thinking about him. Wasn't he great? So much poetry, depth, and empathy in his. We need more people like him.

Exactly why does Google push its AI's review of a music album (or anything else...) over professional ones when it can't HAVE an opinion???

I revisited "BRIGITTE FONTAINE EST...FOLLE!" yesterday. Such a fun + diverse exploration of the bounds of the French chanson! Definitely a more approachable entry point into the world of Brigitte Fontaine, but still foreshadows her later, more radical work.
