Jesus, at the same time? I'd say that's more than close to danger. More like touching, through, and out the other side.

This, because I was too sick too see her the other week, playing this, and it's one of my favourite violin concertos.

Today was the first day I didn't wake up and felt like I had to spit out pieces of my broken lung, in fact, I didn't cough anything up all day, so I checked to see if there were any tickets left to the Snarky Puppy concert...there were...although, it was kind of in a weird venue -- the Kennedy Center (I mean, weird for Snarky Puppy) -- and it was labeled "NSO POPS: Snarky Puppy with the National Symphony Orchestra"...but didn't put a whole lot of thought into it, I've missed Snarky Puppy the last three times they came through town, was just getting desperate to see this creative ensemble...so I went...this was my perspective: Boy am I glad I went. First North American performance of Sylva, and it was fantastic. It wasn't just Snarky Puppy's "Concerto for Group and Orchestra", it was still inimitably a Snarky Puppy concert, with the orchestra's parts written by him even though he knew nothing about arranging for Orchestra, but then cleaned up by the conductor so it sounded like he knew what he was doing. Arranged as a seamless whole. And funky as...I was tappin' my toe and boppin' my head most of the concert. And then they played 3 more songs.

Well, he said, 'next', so unless he orders them at the exact same time, he's referring to whichever he's ordering first.

Just shoved a day's worth of Larry Coryell into my Tidal queue. I don't like everything he does, but when I do like it, I love it. Of the top 6 albums that AMG listed, they were missing two (Monk, 'Trane, Miles & Me and one with Emily Remler, Together).

RIP Larry Coryell, jazz guitarist, godfather of fusion

Similar to Cinematic Orchestra, I think I've listened to the two Grails albums non-stop today. Here's one track. They get pretty epic in others. https://grails.bandcamp.com/track/deep-politics

Yeezh but lollers -- now that's what I call putting yourself in your work. Seems you might be suffering from blood loss? Have a cookie or something.

Dusty like pink. But I already have phonebuds. Sent from my mind using id, ego, or superego...

Yeezh. I'm glad you survived the walk back.

No, that's also the bestest evar. JH13 or JH16, depending which one you think is also the bestest evar.

Thanks for reminding me. I liked Puberty 2 so much, I resolved to check out her other material, but haven't done so yet.

Grails, Chalice Hymnal (link also link) and Deep Politics (link) alternately -- these are great -- just plain ol' instrumental rock, of the indie/alternative persuasion. I prefer Chalice Hymnal by a small margin.

RIP Clyde Stubblefield, he of "Funky Drummer" fame

I can't see that image, for some reason.
