Ahh, an old fave, the legendary Wolfgang Press... (the whole 4AD/ Ae/ Pop Ambient/ January thingy... ;)
Managed to read about a dozen books in 2019, among the favorites?
There, There Tommy Orange
Nickel Boys Colson Whitehead
My Year of Rest and Relaxation Ottessa Moshfegh
Fleishman Is In Trouble Taffy Brodesser-Anker
Where'd You Go Bernadette? Maria Semple
Recursion Blake Crouch
Dopesick Beth Macy
Just Kids Patti Smith
As far as records go... I didn't listen to as much new stuff as usual, I've been trying to sift through the wreckage of a mid-2018 iTunes crash which has me parsing back through my entire collection to try and retrieve old faves and discard stuff that really shouldn't be taking up any more of my time. But these stuck out:
Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? Deerhunter
Soundings Simon Scott
From Here to Eternity Kyle Bobby Dunn
Sunrise, Looking East Danny Paul Grody
Tracing Back the Radiance Jefre Cantu-Ledesma
Constellation in Still Time Rafael Toral
Reducing the Tempo to Zero Ben Vida
Haalea Olli Aarni
Abate Fetel Alex Cobb
Agora Fennesz
Mount Carmel M. Grig
...Stereolab reissues... I left a lot of shit on the table, I hope to return as I try to stay committed to the process.
and, songs? well...
"Courtyard" Mercury Rev feat. Beth Orton
"On the Wall" Chromatics' Jesus & Mary Chain cover
"Suburban Junky Lady" Royal Trux
"New Atlantis" Efdemin
"Dragon Country" Bill MacKay
"No One Here is a Stranger" Bill MacKay & Katinka Kleijn
not enough... I know.
other faves in 2019: humility, sincerity, humor, love, empathy.
My January, 2020 (not much):
Simon Scott "Emergency Exit" (Touch)
Pale Saints The Comforts of Madness 30th Anniversary Re:Masters (4AD 0159 CDX)
Oval "Eksploio" (Thrill Jockey 515)

"I stood up and I said yeah/ I spoke up and I said hey/ I stood up and I said hey, yeah, yeah yeah..."
I wrongly panned the Flaming Lips' Soft Bulletin in Alternative Press at the time of release, due mostly to the shift away from their guitar-based records and the absence of Ronald Jones (who filled in as the perfect foil for Johnathan Donahue's woozily trebly guitar sound). I was cool with Zaireeka -- what a great concept -- but now it seemed Wayne Coyne was relying too heavily on the songwriting of Steven Drozd, busily turning into a caricature of himself as this 'weirdo from Oklahoma!' billed as 'midwestern art genius,' who got just lucky enough to slip through the cracks to get funded on the backs of (Pops/Papa) Warner Bros. In hindsight, good for him/ them -- Wayne really was sorta an asshole the few times I got to spend a few minutes with him, but Michael Ivins is a sweet dude! For the most part, though, this is/ was the Lips' last great record, released 20 years ago now(!). I rescind my review (authored under the name Michael Segal, (thanks, Mike!, sorry, Mike) around issue #129-132 somewhere, if you have a copy)... highly recommended!

"just when the thought occurs, the panic will pass..."
well, certainly a lot has happened since my last post. Our dear friend, music guru, artist, indie psychologist has suffered a massive heart attack... kids have gotten older, wiser... parents have gotten dumber, more resilient... and the world keeps turnin', spitting out bile like a drug... thank god for like-minded souls, continued connections -- however few and far between -- it always feels like yesterday when we meet up again... recalibration and recharging the batteries of those in tune with humanness is never too late... love to everyone I know !
