The Blue Hour, a collaboration among composers Rachel Grimes, Angélica Negrón, Shara Nova, Caroline Shaw, and Sarah Kirkland Snider, is out now on New Amsterdam / Nonesuch Records. You can get it and hear it here.

The song cycle was commissioned and performed by the chamber orchestra A Far Cry, with singer Shara Nova. Set to excerpts from Carolyn Forché’s epic poem On Earth, the music follows one woman’s journey through the liminal space between life and death via thousands of hallucinatory and non-linear images.

Alr, gotta talk about my Sealand hc now bc there's actually a lot.

So anyway, back in 1967 William and François were on a break in their relationship, and Will was being dumb went on one of his infamous benders. And somewhere during it Made A Choice.

2 months later he and François reconcile and get back together. A month and a half after that William gets tracked down by a stranger. This woman shows up provides just enough details to jog some memories and then promptly tells him "I'm pregnant, I'm 97% sure it's yours". shit. They exchange details, she leaves. He calls Fran.

A week later he's explaining to François what happened and is casually internally freaking out bc "I basically cheated on him oh my gosh"; it is something they'll have to talk about but also François reminds him technically they weren't together at the time so grace will have to be given. "It's okay, I forgive you" it's pretty harmless to their relationship in the grand scheme, they've survived worse.

Anyway, she shows back up (I'm gonna call her Sarah for now bc I don't have anything else); and tells William "I don't really want to be a mom right now," and the main conversation is adoption which Will is 100% for, like whatever she wants he's down. Until François points out "and if the baby in a personification?". Cue Will calling her to be like "Heyyyyy maybe don't look too deep into the adoption thing, because I'm considering taking the baby? But I don't know yet, I have to think about it"

Anywho, in between finding out and the baby actually being born François gets really excited. Like has to be reminded on the daily the baby will probably be human; "when our child is-" "My child François!"

William gets a call in the middle of the night, and the only thing he gets from François as he's leaving is "You have to call me as soon as the baby is here and tell me if we have a kid or not!" 8-14 hours later Will gets to a phone and calls back to the house and he doesn't even say hello, just "We have a son"

Anywho, Peter Maël Kirkland-Bonnefoy (François spent many hours arguing for that middle name) was born September 2nd, 1967 and his dads got him home September 4th, his mom signed over custody and basically disappeared. And Peter was their baby, that they got to raise generally undisturbed, and Pete's got a big old family who just love him to bits and that's it. That's all that matters.

4 of Cups ~ Bachus Tarot

  Here, an idea or a new inspiration is trying to make itself known to you, but you are trying desperately not to notice. There are basically angelic choruses singing above your head, and you have clamped your hands over your ears and are doing your best “La-la-la-la-la, I can’t hear you!” The question is, Why would someone ever ignore something like that? Surely that is what all creatives sit around waiting for: inspiration to strike. But it’s disruptive. You might be almost finished with the project, or maybe you have a very clear sense of how you want things to go, and then here comes the big blinking sign that says, “Nope, dummy, this is the way it should be instead!” It means you are going to have to tear apart the work you’ve already done or maybe abandon it completely to follow this new idea, and who wants to do that? A client of mine, after spending four years on a manuscript and finishing a complete draft, told me that she suddenly realized during her revisions that the novel should have been written in the first person rather than in the third. She had become so stuck on the idea of a third-person narration that she had ignored the signs this was the wrong approach and plowed through to the end. Now that she was done, she was completely unwilling to fix what she knew to be a very obvious problem. My client would not have had to start over from the beginning, but certainly admitting that this was the solution to her book’s problems would mean another year’s worth of work ahead of her. She was so anxious to be done with this book and move on to something else that she was willing to sacrifice the whole thing. Eventually, though, she resigned herself to her task and began the hard work of revision. It took her a long time, but the end result was much improved. In that way, we can all be like Penelope in Homer’s The Odyssey, who prayed for her husband Odysseus’s return from the protracted Trojan War only to fail to recognize him when he finally showed up. If what we get doesn’t fall in line with what we expect, or if what we get is too disruptive, we can fail to see its value. And so we reject it or send it away. Like, “No, I see myself only playing stringed instruments; I have no use for the clarinet.” But maybe the clarinet will open up whole new worlds for you if you are willing to give it a try. With the Four of Cups, you have to maintain an openness and a willingness to be derailed. It’s not good to stay stubborn just so that you can stay on schedule or stick with your original vision when a better way is calling out to you.

TOMFOOLERY

In theaters this weekend:

80 for Brady--It's a testament to the star power of the four leading ladies in this movie that I didn't resent that their characters were Tom Brady fans. Not that much, anyway. I didn't even resent that the film amounts to a feature-length commercial for the NFL; it's being released the weekend before Super Bowl Sunday, almost as if the league is trying to offer its own counterprogramming.

Who cares? At this point in their careers, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Sally Field and Rita Moreno could pretty much read grocery lists and it would carry a certain pop-culture gravitas. The script, by Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern and inspired by a real-life circle of elderly Boston-based fans of Tommy Boy and the Patriots, doesn't really offer them much more to work with than a grocery list would, and they still come off all right.

Tomlin, a cancer survivor, is the outspoken instigator who insists that she and her friends must go watch Brady play in the 2017 Big Game. Fonda is a flirt given to romantically leaping before she looks; she's also successful writer of erotic fiction about Rob Gronkowski. Field is an academic weary of her dependent, literally absent-minded professor husband (Bob Balaban) and Moreno yearns to break free of assisted living despite a fellow resident (Glynn Turman) who likes her.

The quartet ends up in Houston having wacky adventures at the Super Bowl Experience and at parties and poker games and chicken wing eating contests and such. All does not, it need hardly be said, go smoothly. They're befriended by the choreographer of the half-time show (Billy Porter) and if you think they don't end up dancing to get past security, think again.

With her blunt, urgent delivery, Tomlin somehow emerges as the team captain of the ensemble. But all four are infectiously energetic and seem to enjoy goofing around with the supporting players shoved in their paths, like Porter, or Harry Hamlin as a love interest for Fonda, or Sara Gilbert as Tomlin's daughter, or Andy Richter as a high roller in a skybox, or Alex Moffat and Rob Corrddry as a dyspeptic sports-talk team, and of course Brady and Gronk and Guy Fieri and others as themselves. Even the bit players include the likes of Patton Oswalt and Sally Kirkland.

80 for Brady starts slow, but it should be said that as it progresses, and gets broader and sillier, it also gets better; both livelier and more heartfelt. By the end these women had me absurdly emotionally invested. This is, possibly, the lamest and most ridiculous film that has ever brought tears to my eyes.

Happy birthday to composer Sarah Kirkland Snider!
