As dorky as normiecon meme-takes like "let's go Brandon" and "what is a woman?" are, they've been incredibly effective at showing just how humourless and censorious the current regime is.
Check out Maxophone anyway, because they're great Italian prog. I'm going to go have a nap.
I am too damn stupid to use a micro-blogging service which doesn't have an edit function.
One of the most pivotal figures in jazz as it transitioned from the big band to bop eras was Bud Powell. His career was tragically fractured and abbreviated by mental illness and as a result it sometimes takes a while for jazz-heads to find his work, but while he may be less famous than some of the other players, like Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk or Dizzy Gillespie, who gathered at Minton's for the impromtu jam sessions from which bop (and thus jazz as we know it) emerged, apparently they were all just following Bud's lead. Listen to the first track here and remind yourself that this guy only has two hands.

I don't particularly want any pornography in my feed but the stuff I scroll past on the global feed is the most depressing, intitilating shit imaginable. Why would anyone want to stink the place up with that?
Oh look, Jeffrey Epstein's buddy wants to spout off about foreign policy again.

I think about this picture a lot.
This is one of John Coltrane's more accessible recordings, sitting at the midpoint between his earlier, more traditional sound (if it could ever really be described as that) and his later, sonically and spiritually wilder free jazz. There's a reason this man has churches dedicated to him.

A good friend (and former bandmate) insists that Popol Vuh are the greatest band ever. Sometimes I wonder if he's right.
It's a damn shame no one has built a sound system large enough to play this album at the volume it requires.

But then I guess if anyone could do it...
I would've thought Our Lord would know better than to try to smooth a board with a jack plane.
Yeah, I've only ever come across prose retellings but there are bits of poetry that survive in the Welsh tradition (Teliesin etc). I always assumed there would be plenty of Irish material but you don't see much around in English. I assume there are political reasons for this.
I come from a Scots family (lots emigrated to Australia in the 1960s) and my grandfather was extremely proud of the little Gaelic he could speak. It pains me that it's been lost in my family.
I think it's in this episode but the whole six-part series is worth watching if you're into ancient history.
Lol, and doesn't she have a degree in the dismal science? That might explain a few things.
In Michael Wood's documentary series "In Search Of The Trojan War" from the early 80s, he films an old, possibly even blind, Irishman reciting some epic poetry in Gaelic. He was supposedly the last of his kind who could recite it all from memory and from memory he couldn't speak English. It was remarkable to see it captured on film before that era ended.
These stories would've originally been recited as poetry. Do you know of any sources for the original poems or are they lost?
