Gato Barbieri - Chapter Two: Hasta Siempre (ABC, 1974)

Gato’s four 70s “chapter” LPs belong in the Cheap Heat Hall of Fame—very often a bargain, very often in the stacks, and always worth having.

Trump in 2020: “The USMCA is the largest, most significant, modern, and balanced trade agreement in history. All our countries will benefit.”

Trump today: “We have big deficits with Canada…I look at some of the deals made and I think who the hell made these deals, they’re so bad.”

I’m sure I’m not the only naturalized citizen who suddenly feels like a lot of people will never think of them as truly “American,” no matter how long they’ve lived here. It doesn’t bother me too much personally but I feel awful for immigrant children who had come to feel like they truly belong

It’s so ridiculous how much they’re focusing on this stuff instead of, like, the economy. In fact other than promising to impose tariffs on our allies, have they come up with any sort of economic plan?

“We need everyone in the office five days a week and also we want you all to quit your jobs” is certainly an innovative managerial approach

Current reads. The China Mieville and Henry Green books had been on my shelf for eons; the Goldsworthy is a new acquisition (along with his Augustus bio). Very much enjoying all three.

Billy Harper - Black Saint (Black Saint, 1975)

First release on the Black Saint label. All killer but the 21-minute epic “Call of the Wild and Peaceful Heart” is a religious experience
