yeah the thunderstorm & flood warning ruined my plans for tonight. I'm at home alone.
Last sat. nite was great though - impromptu jam session in our backyard. I'm moving soon, and will miss living someplace where you do such things and get away with it.

tim hecker was supposed to do a 10-hour sound installation, but he backed out because the technical specs weren't right -- i was really bummed about that because it was one of the big selling points of the night for me.

this reminds methere is a local joint that has no store, but sells cookies via direct delivery (catering) and has ice cream sandwiches (ice cream between two cookies) in local grocery stores
I looked at their website after some cookies were delivered to a coworker and it's 1.5 blocks from my house!
I know they don't sell directly out their place, but I keep having this thought in the back of my head,GO RAID THE COOKIE JOINT

There's some great (and sometimes tremendous) footage/insights in some of the installments of Mr. Burns' Jazz. But (spoiler alert) significant portions of Episode 10 are revisionist history and/or outright lies.
(he said while spending a Saturday night listening to a boxed set by Anthony Braxton, who goes unmentioned in the series)

Ken Burns vs. Wynton Marsalis -- which is the most hated among free jazz/EFI ppl?

Went way uptown intending to hear Cornel West speak about religion and revolution; accidentally ended up at a Bob Avakian rally (because Bob spoke first and didn't stop for ALMOST TWO HOURS). Nearly starved to death despite having eaten lunch just before leaving. 8 hours later, finally got back home.

Have already found some odd moments in KB Jazz, ie minstrelsy was handled v strangely
Marsalis seemed like a weird choice since most of what he says seems to be made up on the fly, like it sounds pretty but huh?
Dont have much on early jazz bios though, so the profiles are kinda interesting to me
Get the feeling this will handle late period jazz in the same pathetic way he handled modern baseball "yadda yadda it's not as pure now anyway APPLE PIE U GUYS"

Ha, well, Burns basically deferred to Marsalis and Stanley Crouch (who, pre-neo-con, was actually a pretty good drummer in the new music, cf. the Wildflowers series on Casablanca). Crouch has many more insights than Marsalis in the series -- it seems like Wynton is trying/failing to pontificate in a similar manner -- but they were both consultants, and both apparently chose to lionize Dexter Gordon for only finding a following in Europe while simultaneously ridiculing the Art Ensemble Of Chicago for only finding a following in Europe.
Also, according to Wynton, Miles went electric after recording and releasing two albums with electric piano (one of which had electric bass). Now we know.

Also on a laundry tip. Kids are upstairs playing Minecraft. Wife took her dad out for dinner for his birthday. Glass of box wine. Listening to the never-fail Saturday night "Block Party" on WWOZ. Tonight they're playing all 45s from the '60s and '70s that I've never heard of. Disco-funk version of "Moon River." Barbara Lynn. Lee Moses. Things could be worse.

Hung out in my backyard in the early evening, doing some mellow gardening while listening to CHVRCHES on my new headphones, then just chilled out on the patio drinking a beer by the fire pit. Next up was a family-made dinner of Jamaica beef DUMPLINGS! and corn on the cob with white wine. Not bad and the night is just starting.

I'd kind of like to know what you were soldering, as that would have been my boring Saturday night if I hadn't had a shedload of other commitments.
