read this book aprx. 8000000x as a kid, and also always appreciated the Iowa connection; the Bloom County house was close by, and when my wife & I were married in the Iowa City courthouse, there were original BC strips on the wall of the judge's office.
Berkeley Breathed's "Bloom County" loomed so large over my young life that I simply cannot believe its initial run was only eight and a half years.
It filled the role that the Gaines/Kurtzman/Feldstein "Mad" magazine played for an earlier generation.
A foundational post-post-punk text, imho.

hot take: Get Up With It is highly overrated and carried by HLHM. "Red China Blues" in particular is atrocious.
if I had to pick 5:
-Filles de Kilimanjaro
-The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions
-Miles At The Fillmore (The Bootleg Series Vol. 3)
-On The Corner
-Agharta/Pangea or Live In Tokyo 1975

I also love the opening take on "I've Got You Under My Skin", based presumably on Dinah Washington's arrangement from 1954
Jazz OTD: On August 26, 1986, pianist Ran Blake recorded his tribute to Thelonious Monk's daughter Barbara, who passed away from cancer at age 31. It's a remarkable album, featuring the adventurous Ricky Ford on tenor saxophone, with this unusual reading of a Stan Kenton composition. #jazzsky

predictably frustrating, as he hedges basically every single claim. and the bracket frame is not remotely as convincing or clever as he thinks.
Kelefa Sanneh wonders when music criticism—formerly the domain of abundant hot takes and pans—got so nice.

Music writers were once known for being much crankier than the average listener. What happened?

I know the whole "all trump cares about is" thing is reductive but it does seem like what he is most interested in personally this time around is just turning DC into Mar-a-Lago
