If you've only heard but never seen Derek Bailey play, this will be a revelation.
His technique & virtuosity in service of a unique aesthetic ecology is a wonder & joy to behold.

WOW 👀 WOW 👀 WOW

Not HD, but absolutely amazing broadcast footage of Derek Bailey solo and in trio with Tony Coe (cl) & Tebbe Lipere (perc), at the 1984 Claxon Festival (Utrecht).
+ Richard Teitelbaum, Diamanda Galas & others.

Leqaa Kordia was arrested in March at her ICE appointment in New Jersey and immediately sent to the Prairieland Detention Center where she’s been held ever since. People are organizing to demand her release, like her fellow Palestinians arrested at the Colombia U. Gaza solidarity protests.

The Bernie Sanders who went on Lou Dobbs and sounded like a xenophobe was the real Bernie Sanders.

“Trump did a better job. I don’t like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn't do it.”
