A beautiful article about the writer's search for his father's voice, inspired by his viewing of the film The History Of Sound.
I thought I'd heard my dad's voice for the last time. A movie helped me find it again
A period drama, a Supreme Court case and voice our film critic hadn't heard in decades.

Part of the reason I hate people doing their cultural reviews of the year in November is that every now and again the must beautiful song of the year gets released in December. This is an absolute gem from @samamidon.bsky.social and Ganavya, so heartfelt and healing.

You must, and I do not say this lightly, watch this video. Sound on.
Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.
She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

‘Magical’: how I taught Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor to sing like folk troubadours in The History of Sound
Singer-songwriter Sam Amidon had just three weeks to make the two stars sound like seasoned balladeers. He recalls their charged harmonies in the little shed at the bottom of his garden

Not sure any other record this year made me feel the sense of peace this one did. Friends and neighbours, that's where it's at.

Dusted review
I've been a big fan of Sam's work since Stylus days, and if I was trying to figure out my favourite album of the 00s, his All Is Well is where I'd start looking. So I'm saying something....

I can't be bothered to do an End of Year playlist, and it would be mostly Cameron Winter anyway, but just to say that two records I think deserved more love in everyone's lists are the Mac Demarco album Guitar, and Sam Amidon's Salt River ❤️
