Heard about how the academic job market works in Brazil. They have to take an exam in the field as part of the application process. If you're looking to make the process even more stressful, that's the way to go.

Loudest show I've ever been to was a Ben Frost show after "Aurora" came out. It was in a smallish room. I was told that the venue rented speakers so their own wouldn't be destroyed. Was wearing ear plugs but had to step out at one point it was so physical, so intense. Swans was a distant second.

How are universities planning to support international students over the summer break? I suspect many students are worried about leaving for the summer or heading home out fear of not being let back into the US. Curious if this is being discussed on campuses or elsewhere.
