If you pitch up "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" one half step you can reharmonize the opening solos to a major key if you play it over Low's "2 Step." This is how I do fall music now, this is how deep I need to go to feel it.

I am in the process rebuilding my entire mind and body to make room for a newfound love of deep house. Deciding what stays, what goes… the culling of old artifacts of former selves. This is the greatest feeling of being a human

Chotiner: And you're against vinyl reissues on principle?
Me: Yes. No, it depends. If they're using the original stampers that's fine.

Me: I mean on Discogs.
Chotiner: And you don't own any vinyl rip reissues of private press jazz?
Me: Now Isaac—
Me: Yes. No, it depends. If they're using the original stampers that's fine.

I wrote about Joanna Newsom's 'Divers' a decade ago just as I was falling in love again, and still feel kind of dizzy thinking about the hallucinogenic, rapturous state that record put me in, captured pretty accurately by this www.jeremydlarson.com/blog/2015/11...

There exists a kind of gentile performance when sharing a song you like with other people. It's always like "I know you've probably heard this before but..." before I send someone a YouTube of a shitty vinyl rip of a Dutch techno song uploaded 9 years ago with only 24 views

Man, I remember hopping on the phone with Kaleb for this piece and thinking, "Oh you write almost exactly how you talk." He was so thoughtful & cared about his truth, his blue and funny vision of the world. Loved this piece, one of his many great accomplishments in life pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

So glad that @pitchfork.com publishes pieces like this one by Jesse Doris, which—like the Terre Thaemlitz music under discussion—provokes thought and offers proof of free speech's power at once. End the genocide in Palestine. Support writing that tells the truth: pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...
