Out for a lunchtime walk for the first time in ages. Listening to this great version of The Moldau.
I have a soft spot for this melody: it was one of my son’s favorites when he was an infant.

I read this for a reading group. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but I ended up loving it.
This is the first in a tetralogy (or in this case, a quartet). Has anyone read all four books? How are they?

I don’t write book reviews very often, but I decided to write one for the newest Haruki Murakami book. (I tried to avoid spoilers.)

I’ll be honest: I never cared for “There She Goes” by The La’s, and I’ve never heard any of their other songs. But wow! Their story is really interesting. And based on the clips I heard in this video, their demos sound really cool.

I’ve heard a lot of Miles Davis over the past three decades.
But I’ve never heard Miles like this!
This record is pretty wild. And I love every minute of it. 😊

I can’t remember when I took this video (maybe 2017 or 2018).
My family and I used to enjoy watching Captain Phasma and stormtroopers march through Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. Sadly, the park no longer has this.

But instead of the three-pronged attack of Dark Magus, we have the smooth, bluesy sound of Kenny Burrell.
