Hot in Herre has, among its many charms, a little slow introduction that makes it feel like a Haydn symphony (complimentary)
My personal favorites are Country Grammar Shake Ya Tailfeather and Ride Wit Me but when I hear the opening bars of Hot in Herre it activates a tiny part of my brain that instantly transports me to off campus basement parties circa 2003 and that’s real power

Invisible Man. Taught me a lot, not least about how to write and read.

Yesterday at Vocal Arts DC, Jasmine Arielle Barnes' American Lament got its world premiere, from Sasha Cooke and Myra Huang, and I can't stop thinking about it. A real winner of a piece, delightful and thought-provoking: washingtonclassicalreview.com/2025/11/05/c...

@rideonmct.bsky.social On the 19 trip at 4:50 today, the driver went up Colesville to Sligo Creek Parkway rather than turning right on Spring and going to Wayne. My son and I had to walk a third of a mile back to our house in this heat. Please make sure drivers are aware of current detours

When the flashy cadenza ends on a meditative trill
When a singer nails to the high note with seemingly no effort and makes it mean something

This is a 🧵of things that feel awesome. Add your own.
The pleasure of taking off constricting shoes & clothing at the end of a day.
When the cat falls asleep in a bagel on your hip and you can feel the moment it goes completely boneless.
When a toddler uses you as trusted steadying furniture.
