I can’t believe this book has been around for 25 years. It’s been on the TBR pile in my mind for most of that time. Maybe this year I’ll read it. I still really want to, and I think this new edition has additional material, which is cool.

🎧 Of all the gifts I received this holiday, I am especially excited about this one—it has a whole chapter on Larry Levan and 4 entries on Gilles Peterson (who, seriously, for over 40 years has been one of the most important people in my life!)

WRITTEN IN A TIME OF WORRY AND WOE I stopped and leaned over the footbridge rail. Far below, roaring by the library, The stream plunged through deep winter with the force That follows a spring thaw, re-enacting In a short stretch its ever-varied course. I watched it flow clear under clear black ice, Churn frothy under gray, tunnel and swirl Under snow, pool and spill, then slide over And under overturned stumps and debris. I watched until I thought: February— The apex of the year, and felt so far Above the sum of whatever I've known Or seen or done that I couldn't care less What I must have lost to feel so cold and free.

hey all -- would love it if you took a look at this year in review post for my blog. it's a neat introduction to what i'm up to: i link to my course materials, posts on how i engage philosophy, and plenty about poetry. it's easy to see here how it all adds up.

This was a long year. I had less than ideal health in January – I was briefly unable to swallow water – and I lost my father in early February.

“My mouth’s bleeding, Bert! My mouth’s bleeding!”
Black and white still image from the film It’s a Wonderful Life. The actor Jimmy Stewart looks excitedly at a man in uniform. He hold a hand just away from his lip, which seems to be bleeding.

Now listening to more experimental electronic music. This is album by miffle, from Warsaw, Poland, came out in September and is layered and complex, graceful and surprising.

This is really good. Epic and even orchestral at times. Joy is a fitting word, sort of surprisingly for the heaviness of it.

No post-metal has matched the creativity, heavy, and massive joy of this album for me this year.

SK sludge post-metal relentlessly hits w/ a massiveness owed to perfect production, crushing tones. Riffs! Some joyous post-hardcore mumble shouting. Bright doomgaze bliss. Incredible drums. Pelican, Parranoul, Thou energies. Instant post-metal classic! baan1.bandcamp.com/track/early-... #MetalSky

Prompted by @untidyradio.com, I’m listening to singles by DIY musician Nobleson. This music mixes field recordings, drones, and electronic instrumentation and it’s both gentle and insistent.

Now listening to experimental ambient music from October of this year. L.A. composer/creator claire rousay makes these unexpected, stretchy, delicate soundscapes that seem to bleed into everything around them.

Happy darkest evening of the year, from Robert Frost and me.
White text on a black background: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Ah, the predictable irony that I am myself back in a rough one today. Those blue holes seem bottomless sometimes. Anyway, I’m ok, or will be ok, just figured I’d be open about it, in case anyone needs to know they’re not the only one. We’ll get through it.
