New Work III | For Pollstar, I went to a Sombr concert. Whereas the viral TikToker saw "cringe," I heard gangly, confused, honest, occasionally lovable earworms; young contempo-hetero rock masculinity, as self-aggrandizing as -effacing. A male glam Olivia Rodrigo?

New Work II | For the Big Ears podcast, I spoke w/Ghost Train Orchestra's Brian Carpenter and Joan "As Police Woman" Wasser about Moondog and their album of his music, 'Songs & Symphoniques'; but also about Arthur Russell, Hal Willner and NYC's minimalism and musicking.

Historic D'Angelo Must-Read | Between the many memorial recaps/old stories, been shocked not to see this cited: Jason King's liners to the 2012 'Voodoo' reissue, incredible reporting work that first unearthed/oulined Dilla's true influence via Soulquarian intvws.

An article in which, unsurprisingly, the Times' own culpability in elevating this person's gaslighting "free speech" campaign, and heedlessly raising her profile, never comes up!

RIP to El Maestro! To mark the moment, I wanted to pass on 3 pieces of writing about Eddie Palmieri by 3 of my all-time favorite music writers: one about the beginning of his career, one about the end, and one to bring some context to all the haps. Each is as much about New York as about Palmieri.
