This movie just destroyed me. I was sobbing through half of it. Absolutely riveting.

Natural Snow Buildings kind of morning. Feeling the daily futility of our forced march through dystopia.

Tatsuya Nakadai was so incredibly gifted. Rewatching Sword of Doom right now and the nexus of Shakespearean tragedy with quasi-noir doom wrapped in dance-like menace is just unworldly.

Saw Peter Hujar’s day tonight. A pretty brilliant film- taken from a transcript found in 2019 of a lost 1974 recording by Linda Rosenkrantz. A fascinating, sometimes ugly mirror of a mirror.

if you’ve done any deep dives into 80s music you’ve probably heard The Flying Lizard’s unhinged version of “Money.” Which is great- but their equally unhinged version of Sex Machine is so good. Deranged production, deadpan delivery, art school dropout video, and just a dash of danceableness.

listening to Siavash Amini’s Calago. Another AOTY contender. Whiplash collage of atmospheres and textures with haunting ambient melodies flowing beneath the mist.

For the final day- someone we all know and love. But I feel like she’s not listened to as much as she is read or talked about. But she changed the course of music and doesn’t get as much acclaim as John Cage or Shostakovich etc. The OG, the GOAT: Pauline fucking Oliveros.

Jlin makes some of the best electronic music around. Not as obscure as some people on this list but I feel like not enough people talk about her singular genius. So elegantly minimal yet expansive.

Electroacoustic music is home to some of my favorite albums- but my absolute favorite artist in the genre is Natash Barrett. It needs to take me to a place-even fictional- but her music is the very definition of immersive. Trade Winds might be my favorite but they are all essential.

Today is a break from the mic as we highlight an artist who shaped music photography like no one else. Marcia Resnick sadly passed away last week. She made iconic photos of Basquiat, Lydia Lunch, Burroughs, Iggy Pop, John Belushi- the list goes on and on. A true NYC legend.

No one on this list has come close to a Billboard chart- but today’s artist had a number one hit- as well as Emmy & Grammy noms. But Nona Hendryx proved pop & experimental music don’t have to be mutually exclusive. From excursions with Bill Laswell to Captain Beefheart covers to minimal techno

Her 2016 double album They Begin to Speak is a sublime statement and one of the most challenging free jazz records ever. Recorded after becoming aphasic from a stroke in 2019. A refusal to stay silent, even without words.

I keep posting these even if no one is seeing them. Today is one of the greatest jazz vocalists of all time: Linda Sharrock. Going from crooning standards to gut-wrenching moans, wails, & avant-garde screams. Sonny Sharrock’s Black Woman is as much her album as his but her name isn’t on the cover.

Félicia Atkinson’s Promenades came out on Friday and it’s really stunning. Improvised keyboard meditations around color/synesthesia/nature. Haunted & haunting that liminal space between living/dying waking/sleeping. Immerse yourself.

I’ve seen Diamanda Galás more than any other artist. A singular force combining middle eastern, blues, jazz, & even some country into one diary avant-garde excoriations against HIV, war, & genocide.I can’t think of more appropriate music to blast in the face of our fucked up government right now

Today we’re focusing on bassoonist Jacqueline Wilson. She has 2 albums of works entirely by indigenous & native composers. I’ve never listened to the bassoon before this but it has a sort of haunting authoritative sound. I love these albums (& one piece is by Raven Chacon who is incredible)
