how did you feel about the fablemans?
i went to see it with my dad and it left me with the same sort of mild irritation a lot of films spielberg had directed leave me with. i don't really know how to articulate it, it's like he learned that good and bad aren't discrete categories and decided the only way to cope with that is to never deliver an unrestrained blow. or maybe it isn't and i was just distracted during the viewing. that said the performances were good overall. something about spielberg's more realistic films just feels indecisive to me it's like he's trying to avoid expressing an opinion he can't escape. sorry for the rant btw love on earth etc etc [alex benedict voice] goodbye genius
oh my. um. for me it was like. this man has been making a film about his parent's divorce for like forty years....... and then when it comes time to do it for real he mostly just made a film about how cool it was that he was a kid who made movies.... like okay. that's fine i guess. this was the one time i actually really wanted to learn about your parents getting a divorce...... but i guess watching your oc sammy make movies and kiss the hot christian girl is also fine. like i think there's a more interesting movie in here and the more we spend time with sammy who is the least interesting of them the more i am falling asleep. but yeah i think you said it more articulately than me. i will be honest y'all. i don't really like steven spielberg lol. when i was watching this movie i was thinking about a quote from the souvenir part two, similarly about its filmmaker's coming of age and coping with that through filmmaking, and there's a scene where one character tells our protagonist, did you resist the temptation to be obvious?
anyways. steven. stevey spiels. did you resist the temptation to be obvious? we all fucking know you didn't.

1980s Horror Film Character Names
I totally forgot I’d started making this last year! I think I never posted it because I wanted to find more names, but there’s already a decent amount and I don’t feel like being that tedious about names right now lol.
It’s first & last names (separated for mix & match potential) of characters from iconic late 1970s & 1980s horror movies. I think I started looking for cheesier B-movies to pull from, but yeah it’s been a whole year so I forget.

Listed: Jordan Martins
Jordan Martins is a musician, organizer, educator, and visual artist whose works have been shown in Chicago and Brazil. While he has played steel guitar and other instruments for years with the singer / songwriter Angela James, his first solo album, Fogery Nagles, was released by the Astral Spirits label in the fall of 2023. In his review for Dusted, Bill Meyer wrote, “Fogery Nagles arrives, seemingly out of nowhere, but just at the right time.”
Sarah Davachi — Cantus Figures Laurus
I’m a sucker for long-form droney music in general and as of late I’ve been bathing in organ music of this kind as much as possible. I had really enjoyed Davachi’s other works but fell fully under her spell with this box set of works from the last few years with over four hours of heavy tones unfolding in various ways. I like to listen to this as loud as possible to feel these sounds as vibrations. There are several shorter tracks that focus on a particular palette or tonality, with the later tracks being from live recordings of longer performances. Even though the set is a compilation joining these sets of works together after the fact, I love this body of work as a sequence of experiences.
Caetano Veloso — Araça Azul
It’s hard to pick a favorite Veloso record, but if I had to it would be the utterly unique Araça Azul, recorded in 1972 when he returned to Brazil after being exiled by the military dictatorship years prior. The record is markedly outside of the original zeitgeist of the Tropicalia movement — less ecstatic, hopeful, collaborative, and postmodern in the mixing of styles — but at the same it’s maybe the purest expression of the experimental range of sounds and poetry that the movement ushered in. There are other musicians playing on some tracks, but the whole thing feels like a single creative brain tinkering with ideas and sounds until they take enough shape to be a “song.” There’s a fundamental collage approach that I love — where he engages in field recordings, musique concrète, dissonant orchestrations overlapping on simple folk melodies, and transformative and ballsy covers of classics by singers like Monsueto and Milton Nascimento.
Angelika Niescier, Savannah Harris, Tomeka Reid — Beyond Dragons
I had the good fortune of seeing this trio play at Elastic in Chicago this past spring. When they finished their set, my wife leaned over to me and said “THAT WAS HOT SHIT” which is maybe the most accurate thing to say about these players and this music. Niescier’s compositions are somehow tight and specific while simultaneously giving each player ample room to flex and explore with abundant space around the components of each piece. I love their ability to charge into a piece full steam with an almost aggressive sense of urgency and then allow their interactions to gradually fragment and dissolve into textural interplays and quiet call-and-response improvisations.
Paul Franklin— solos on “Together Again”
A friend hipped me to a video of Paul Franklin soloing over the Buck Owens classic “Together Again” and I’ve since gone down YouTube rabbit holes watching as many clips as I can find (and I see other people in the comments on the same journey). Franklin is a Nashville legend who has played pedal steel on hundreds of recordings since the seventies. As a member of the Time Jumpers, he plays as a sideman to Vince Gill at local venues in Nashville covering classic country songs, often playing this tune which originally featured Tom Brumley playing a quick steel solo that used some very innovative voicings at the time. Franklin’s playing is so technically brilliant, but it also illustrates the ways in which the instrument can be psychedelic and disorienting, even in a conventional setting. His solos always follow a basic architecture but there’s subtle variations, improvisations and flourishes in every version where you can see him trying to find new ways of cracking it open. My favorite clips are the ones where he goes out on a limb and the audience is noticeably giggling as they experience the sonic floor drop out from under them like they’re on a carnival ride.
Nicholas Britell— “Unto Stone We are One”, funeral “March Song of Ferrix,” season 1 finale of Andor
I sometimes dabble in the questionable array of new Star Wars projects and absolutely loved Andor’s vision of a bureaucratic fascist space empire, not spending a second on jedis and lightsabers, instead examining the interrelationships of imperial occupations, military contractors, and resistance movements. The last episode is masterful in part because the tension of the entire season simmers to a boil during a funeral procession with working class miners playing junky space orchestral instruments. The score of this funeral march by Nicholas Britell is a haunting, yearning motif that steadily builds but the stroke of genius is how perfectly out of tune the instruments are! Such a simple and surprising choice does such heavy lifting in terms of adding a sense of materiality to the setting and imbuing the dramatic build up with a subtle unease beneath the gorgeous arrangements.
Terry Riley— Music for The Gift
A very early work by Riley experimenting with tape loops, with an approach that is uncannily prescient in the way it does a live remix of a jazz quartet as they improvise around tunes. The fact that this particular quartet was Chet Baker’s (with trombonist Luis Fuentes, drummer George Solano, and bassist Luigi Trussardi) is a surprising interlocutor in all of this: it would maybe seem more fitting to for this to involve an unorthodox voice rather than a more straight ahead, idiomatic jazz player for these out-of-the-box experiments. But I think the music works precisely because of the nimble-swinging of the group as Riley cuts up and repeats their melodies and phrasing back onto them in a slurry of loops that piles up and interacts with their improvising in unexpected ways. The clarity and charm of Baker’s playing is a perfect fit. Peter Margasak wrote a great piece about it for Sound American that you can find here.
Macie Stewart and Lia Kohl— Recipe for a Boiled Egg
Two of my favorite improvisers in Chicago. They are so emblematic of what I love about the creative scene here in the ways that they endlessly collaborate across a range of genres and scenes, whether improvising or composing, playing songs or deconstructing forms. This is a biased pick because they recorded this at Comfort Station, the small and idiosyncratic multidisciplinary art space I run in Chicago. The thing that first drew me to Comfort Station was the building’s unique vibrant acoustics and the porousness of sound that you get with an old building directly facing a busy street. Macie and Lia lean into that context in stunning ways on this recording, narrowing in on their voices and their bowed instruments reverberating and inviting in sounds from the outside world instead of recording in the controlled environment of a studio. You can hear ideas take shape as each listens, responds, builds, grows, dissolves into the other’s playing, with a recording quality that grounds them to a particular time and place.
Olivier Messiaen — “Louange à l’Éternité de Jésus,” from the Quartet for the End of Time
This is probably the single most impactful and cosmic piece of music I’ve ever encountered. Messiaen wrote all the movements for the Quartet for the End of Time while he was in a Nazi POW camp, and the entire work is on another level. But the sixth movement — just piano and cello — brings me to my knees every time I hear it. The first time I heard it was somewhat random and personal: during my freshman year of college, my mom was coincidentally the staff accompanist at the conservatory of the university I attended. And I would often borrow her car to run errands while she was rehearsing with music majors preparing their senior recitals. On one such occasion I was tip-toeing back into her studio to return her keys and heard a bass player (bass majors often adapt cello pieces for their senior recital) bowing the opening notes of the melody which seems to ask for a dissonant response from the piano. Instead, I heard my mom play the slow, pulsing major triad chord that entered in response, settling the piece into a hypnotic journey. I felt like the floor gave way in an instant and I had never experienced anything like it. Susan Alcorn has adapted it for solo pedal steel in a really unique way melding the harmony and melody together, and Atomic included it on their 2018 release of covers, Pet Variations, playing with deep restraint that the piece calls for while also letting the energy bubble up restlessly.
Jeanne Lee — Conspiracy
It’s hard to find a better expression of vocals and poetry integrated into a free jazz setting than this brilliant 1975 record, with Jeanne Lee leading a killer ensemble including Steve McCall and Sam Rivers among others. I had never heard Lee’s work before coming across this album when it was re-released by Moved-by-Sound in 2021 and I was struck by how much sparseness there is (somewhat similar to some of Caetano Veloso’s delicate moments on Araça Azul even), and how simple utterances give way to grooves and freakouts with the rest of the players wrapping around Lee’s command of the sonic space. If I’m being honest, I think these kinds of approaches to free form improvisations can often collapse into a kind of cheesiness or ham-fistedness, and this record NEVER once gets close to that, everything feels so purposeful even when the exploration is at its outer limits.
Olaibi — Mimihawasu
Although I had heard her playing on works by Japanese band OOIOO, this is a musician/project that I hadn’t heard of by name until someone I follow on Instagram posted that they had passed away this October (coincidentally on my birthday). Something in the way they eulogized her touched me deeply and I listened to all of her records in the days after (and often since). Maybe it is because my exposure to her music was immediately tied to her recent death, but there’s something so profound, tragic, beautiful, frail, intimate and loving about her music all at once. I wish I had heard her more before her passing, but I’m grateful that in the wake of her death this world of sounds has entered my life.

A Blustery Day - Cork, Ireland
Indoor activities were on the docket today - first stop was the Nano Nagle Museum (pictured above). We learned all about this amazing woman and her impact on the children of Cork.
Nano Nagle was born to a wealthy Catholic family in 1718, at that time Penal Law meant that education for Catholics was not available in Ireland, unless they attended Church of Ireland schools. Going against laws that also prohibited Irish Catholics from being educated in other countries, her family sent her to school in Paris. Due to as series of events in her life, Nano ended up entering a convent in Paris. She did not feel that the life of isolation in the convent allowed her to assist the needy of society. So she left the convent and returned to Ireland and Cork. She was a champion for the poor people of Cork. Before her death in 1784, she had opened 7 schools for poor children in Cork, founded an almshouse for poor women, and established the Presentation Order. This Order continues her education and social inclusion work to this day.
Photos of the inside of the chapel and the outside of the museum. It was interesting to learn how marginalized Catholics were in Ireland in the 1700s. Religion has created a few issues, both historically and currently.....what an understatement!
The weather continued to be a bit iffy, but it wasn't too bad - so we walked up to the shopping district of Cork. It was Saturday and there were a lot of people out and about - rain doesn't slow people down in Ireland. We went by the National Monument:
Built to commemorate the Irish Patriots who died during the period 1798-1867. I couldn't take a picture of the front of the monument, as there was a huge piece of construction equipment inconveniently parked there for the weekend!
We walked across the Grand Parade and continued through the town center.
St. Peter & Paul's Church, built in the Gothic Revival style, it opened in 1866.
An historic building in the Paul Street District - built in the red brick and white stone style common in Cork.
Shandon Bells & Tower St. Anne's Church, built between 1722 and 1726. You can pay to go up in the tower and ring the bells....bet the people in the neighborhood love that!
Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Mary & St. Anne, opened in 1869, another example of Gothic Revival architecture and the red/white style unique to Cork.
We stopped and had lunch at a nice little pub, which I forgot to take a picture of and cannot remember the name of - you would think that I would have figured that out by now! Oh well, we were going to walk around a bit more, but the wind started picking up and the skies looked very threatening. So we headed back to our place to rest up for the Ireland vs. South Africa World Cup Rugby match - which we were hoping to watch at a local pub this evening.
We found a wonderful little pub to watch the match at. The owners of the pub were so gracious in finding us a table to sit at to watch the match (we did come early, in order to get a table) and in cooking us some wonderful little toasties for dinner. We ended up sharing our table with a young couple, he was from a small town in the Irish countryside and she was a native of Cork. They were just lovely, Dylan was very patient about explaining the rules of rugby to us while the game was going on. It was a lively atmosphere and Ireland won - so the mood was celebratory. Great evening hanging out with the locals! Unfortunately, I can't remember Dylan's girlfriend's name, but her sister was going to school in Edinburgh to become an occupational therapist! She couldn't believe it when I told her that I was an occupational therapist - not very often that you meet people who actually know what that is about! Memorable evening in Cork.

Oto krótka historija Yuunov
Święta Bożego Narodzenia
To czas kiedy rodziny siadają razem do stołów, razem odpakowują prezenty. Śpiewają kolendy, częstują się opłatkiem... ale w czerwonej armii cała armia świętuje!
Pewien Holender stroił korytarze lampkami, Polak wraz z innymi kucharzami szykował jedzenie, a lider szykował z innymi żołnierzami stół itp
Paul nad dzrwiami gdzie wchodzi się do salonu z najdłuższym stołem powieśił jemiołe
Lider kazał pod choinke dać prezenty I pewien francus ( Yuu) niósł duty prezent I akurat stand przy drwiach
Patryck: STÓJ!
Yuu: Czemu?
Za nim szedł Rosjan ( Yanov) który był ubrany w typowo święteczy sweter I stand tam gdzie on
Patryck: STÓJ!
Yanov: Hmm?
Annya: Spójrzcie w góre~ 😏
Kiedy obojga spojrzała do góry zauważyła jemiołe a potem z rumieńcem spojażała na siebie
Yuu: Mam,pocałować go?
Paul: Yep
Yuu: Ale-
Nagle Yan pociognoł go do siebie I,go pocałował I trzymał tak 3 minuty
Potem Yuu cały czerwony poszedł odłożyć prezent I przyczepił tam kartke
Kucharz: SIADAJCOE DO STOŁU! ZARAZ BĘDZIE OSTATNIE DANIE!
Po jedzienu
Kiedy wszyscy zjedli był czas na prezenty, I Yanov zauważył że prezent od Yuu to dla niego, ale zauważył kartke I ją przeczytał
Do Yanova
Yanov, pamiętam hak mi powiedziałeś że zawsze chciałeś mieć gitare i pojechać na koncer swojego idola, to otwórz prezent
Yuu❤
Kiedy otworzył prezent zauważył niebieską gitare I bilet na koncert jego idola
Kiedy to zauważył popłakał się I podbiegł do Yuu go przutulić
🌌PA!!🌌

İspanya'da Ogier ve Toyota için çifte zevk
Fransız pilot, Toyota üreticilerin şampiyonluk tacını elinde tuttuğu için zafer kazandı.
Sébastien Ogier, FIA Dünya Ralli Şampiyonası'nın hibrit dönemindeki ilk zaferine ulaştı.
RallyRACC - Rally de España'da zafer kazanırken, Toyota Gazoo Racing için üreticilerin unvanını güvence altına almaya yardımcı oldu.
Fransız sürücü, bu sezon Toyota için yarı zamanlı bir kampanyaya katılıyor ve üç günlük asfalt rallisinin ortasında en hızlı zamanlardan oluşan bir üçlü yayınladığında bu sondan bir önceki turun kontrolünü ele geçirdi.
GR Yaris kullanan Ogier, Pazar günkü son ayağına 20.7 saniyelik bir liderlik taşıdı ve aşırı risk almadan son dört hız testini müzakere etmeyi göze alabildi.
Tam olarak bunu yaptı ve Hyundai i20 N yıldızı Thierry Neuville'den 16.4 saniye farkla zafere ulaştı.
WRC'nin hibrit çağının ilk zaferi ve yardımcı pilot Benjamin Veillas için bir numara kazanmak.
Bu ayın başlarında sürücüler şampiyonluğunu kazanan Kalle Rovanperä, Toyota için çift podyumu doğruladı.
Onun sonucu, Japon markasını ikinci ardışık üreticilerin tacını güvence altına aldı.
Bir tur kala Jyväskylğ merkezli ekip, Hyundai Motorsport'a karşı 93 puanlık rakipsiz bir liderliğe sahip ve artık yakalanamıyor.

"Bu Benji'nin ilk galibiyeti, bu yüzden onun için çok mutluyum," dedi Ogier.
"Bu galibiyeti almak harika çünkü takım için önemli bir hafta sonuydu.
"Bu tür sonuçlar elde etmek her zaman kolay değildir ve bu sezon çok baskındı, bu yüzden Toyota Gazoo Racing'i tebrik ederiz."
Toyota Gazoo Racing takım patronu Jari-Matti Latvala, "Burada şampiyonluğu garantilemek harika.
Japonya'daki son ralli Toyota için ev turu, bu yüzden şimdi oraya giderken çok daha rahat olabiliriz. Orada kazanabilirsek, daha da büyük kutlamalar yapabiliriz!"
Neuville, Cumartesi öğleden sonra geç saatlerde Rovanperä'dan ikincilik noktasını çaldı ve genç Finli ile sıkı bir hurdaya çıkmaya hazırdı. Ancak Rovanperä, ikinci etapta bir drenaj deliğinden geçerken sol ön lastiği deldiği için bu savaş hiçbir zaman gerçekleşmedi. Son kontrolde, 18.1 saniye çifti böldü.
Hyundai otomobilleri, Ott Tänak'ın 44.0 saniye geride bitirdiği ilk beşin geri kalanını dördüncü sırada kilitledi. Estonyalı sürücü, aracının kurulumu açısından hiçbir zaman tam olarak iyi bir nokta bulamadı ve Rovanperä'yı 9,5 saniye geride bıraktı.
Hayal kırıklığına uğramış Dani Sordo, kendi yollarında karışık bir hafta sonundan sonra 32.5 saniye daha gerideydi. Cumartesi günkü orta noktadaki kurulum değişiklikleri ani bir hız dönüşünün kilidini açana kadar ilk bir buçuk gün boyunca tempodan yoksundu.
Ne yazık ki bu ince ayarlar çok geç geldi ve birkaç pürüzsüz Asfalt hız testini kazanmasına rağmen, Sordo ne olabileceğini anlamaya bırakıldı.
Ayrıca altıncı sıradaki Elfyn Evans da kederli hissediyordu. Galli sürücü, ralli boyunca performanstan yoksun olduğunu hissetti ve Riudecanyes'teki takım arkadaşı Rovanperğile aynı yerde yaşanan bir delinme sıkıntılarını daha da artırdı.
Takamoto Katsuta ve Adrien Fourmaux yedinci ve sekizinci oldular. Her iki sürücü de Fourmaux'nun M-Sport Ford Puma meslektaşı Craig Breen'in pahasına bir pozisyon kazandı ve sabah bir deliğe çarptıktan sonra lastik dramaları yaşadı.
Breen sonunda genel klasmanda dokuzuncu olurken, yardımcı pilot Paul Nagle 102. WRC startında sporun en üst seviyesinden emekli oldu. Pierre-Louis Loubet - aynı zamanda bir Puma kullanıyor - liderlik tablosunu tamamladı.
Teemu Suninen, WRC2'de rahat bir zafer kazanırken, Finlandiyalı genç Lauri Joona, Ford Fiesta Rally3 kategorisinde Jan Cerny'yi yendikten sonra WRC3 şampiyonu oldu.
Şampiyona, önümüzdeki ay yepyeni bir asfalt etkinliğiyle finale ulaşacak. FORUM8 Japonya Rallisi 10 - 13 Kasım tarihleri arasında gerçekleşecek.
