part of the pleasure of reading proust fairly young is knowing it’s going to hit like a fucking truck when revisited in like 20 years

so it’s absolutely positively clear this is meant to be read in the same cadence of “i just got sign, to pickles records”

seen this at every library branch i’ve visited in the past couple weeks, and now this……..seems like a sign

lastly, if you play drums, i cannot emphasise the degree to which hamid drake will blow your mind. he is a master of the instrument in ways that few could ever hope to control anything. he plays the drums like they’re his best friends. start here! open.spotify.com/album/3i9tgR...

if you do want to start with the classics, it is absolutely impossible to go wrong. davis, coltrane(s), monk, mingus, ayler, sanders, coleman - just the best to ever do it. maybe start here! open.spotify.com/album/0Hs3Bo...
