This week on the @Talkhouse Podcast, Bruce sits down with a songwriter and longtime fan who's having a huge moment, Nate Amos of This Is Lorelei and Water From Your Eyes.
Current @RememberThisPod season on Libby Holman includes appearances from Billie Holiday, Jane Bowles, Tallulah Bankhead, Josh White, Montgomery Clift and Alan Lomax among others. What’s not to love

I've come to the conclusion that Nathan Fielder pulled the most powerful punches available to him as an interogator, in order to invent a situation with maximal moral ambiguity.

I take full credit for identifying this new type of distich by Anne Carson (headless iambic pentameter / spondee) and for naming it the Carsonic! Here’s my Hollanderesque definition:
The Carsonic
It’s a way to register surprise.
Big news.

Sinking into The Ground Above again. Another contender for Album Of The Year. This was my entryway to Beth Orton, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Musically and lyrically on the other side of so much of what came before, yet no less magical. There's so much beauty in the bleakness.
BILLY BANG FOREVER
Pretty sure Theo Parrish dropped this at the White Hotel last week around 5am. First time hearing it in about 10 years. I love Billy Bang - everyone should listen to Billy Bang. youtube.com/watch?app=deskto…

So I recently badgered my cinematographer @steveyedlin into making my ideal iPhone still camera app. It shoots RAW, bypasses the iPhone's look processing and instead uses the same image processing we use on our movies. apps.apple.com/app/apple-sto…

you really do need a basic understanding of theranos and what all went down there before you can fully appreciate YCSE, my opinion at least...

Okay, so here's the thing.
If you didn't read Bad Blood or the early WSJ reporting about Holmes (which I did, obsessively, because I am obsessed with scammers) you had a completely different experience of this movie.
You *cannot* have engaged with that media, and then
I loved You Can See Everything. But if your takeaway is sympathy for Holmes, please read Bad Blood by @JohnCarreyrou

A little more than halfway into it. So far, so great.

RIP Donal Lunny, giant of Irish music. There are a million incredible bands and records he has been part of. Two slightly deeper cuts that I would highlight are two masterpieces with his brilliant production: Connachtman's Rambles by Mairtin O'Connor, and In Full Spate by Paddy Glackin

An extraordinary musician, arranger & producer.
A huge loss to Irish music.
Donal Lunny RIP

The one of his I go back to the most often. Having been very into Aaron Copland's music for long helps and the cover of Madonna's "Live To Tell" is simply brilliant.
