I spent some time looking at Robert Frank’s contact sheets to determine the exact location of his 1956 “Covered Car — Long Beach”

went to the Steve Reich at 90 birthday celebration at Carnegie Hall the other night and it was so special, opened with one of my favorite compositions (Electric Counterpoint, 1987) played perfectly by Bryce Dessner of The National

this is incredible, definitely desktop, interface is a bit tricky ("lids" halfway down right column animates)

Pieter Brueghel the Younger, The Yawner (or Man with Open Mouth), 1564

amazing life - some great photos in this obit 🙏

(the other) Bill Evans' matching baby blue headband and polo shirt 👍

it was somehow affirming to experience an entire theater of people focused on the inflection and meaning of a single word for several minutes

when you buy a ticket for “You Can See Everything” on the AMC app you get to pay a $3 fee and get a $55 offer to start a gambling addiction

ran the San Francisco marathon a few times and a sign that stuck in my head is a version of this: "Nobody made you do this" I repeat this to myself when I do other uncomfortable activities (steep hikes, visiting malls, etc)

an incredible, almost overwhelming, exhibit. one reaction is it’s unfortunate the work is not more evenly distributed across museums. there are many things I had never seen, even though I grew up in Philadelphia (where there’s one large permanent Duchamp gallery). bremser.tumblr.com/post/8307653...

#NowPlaying Another previously unreleased Don Cherry set out soon & I might dig it even more: Don Cherry, Leon Thomas, and sitar and tabla player Collin Walcott in their only documented performance together at Pease Auditorium in Ypsilanti, Michigan in 1977. wewantsounds.bandcamp.com/album/sunris...

“if we were to remove all the “fatties, trannies, beardos, weirdoes, wimps, and radicals” from the history of architecture and design, that history would quite simply cease—poof!—to exist.”

Start your day with California condors on the Henrietta Peak ALERTCalifornia camera. Mornings and evenings are the best time to look for these endangered birds at https://bit.ly/4frDA4N Check IDs for Central CA flock tags at condorspotter.com

TIL Don Cherry once played inside Mammoth Cave, KY and you can listen on YT www.tumblr.com/shihlun/8290...

Got to head to UC Berkeley to see these

Happy 90th birthday, @stevereich.bsky.social!

bus in San Francisco today, apparently conscious of the papal drama

A new exhibit at Oakland Museum uses augmented reality to bring visitors into Dorothea Lange’s photographs of Japanese American families facing forced removal from the East Bay in 1942. sfist.com/2026/10/01/d...

the people I know who have gone full smart home are mostly IT Guys, whose wives roast them for how flaky and unusable it is

Brice Marden on how to look at a painting:

This is just such a stunning dance sequence. Up there with the famous Nicholas Brothers routine from Stormy Weather.

Today the original artwork for 'Time Out,' by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, sold at auction for a record-breaking $576K. Its artist and designer, S. Neil Fujita, is part of a brilliant new exhibition at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. Here’s a piece I just wrote about him, and the show.

“What good's a computerized nose” LR, 1992

there’s a good Wojnarowicz documentary, streaming free youtu.be/18X5dBp06Qs?...

Am absolutely loving this 1942 painting "Jumping Jive" by Norman Lewis, from show highlighting musical themes in Lewis's work at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery in Chelsea michaelrosenfeld.com/exhibitions/...

listened to this and took the afternoon off to finally see it. the formal language from 2500 years ago is astonishing and the "Linen Book of Zagreb" may be one of the most historic things I've seen - a text cut up and stained because it was used to wrap an Egyptian mummy.

Yes. I remember my mom standing up for herself whenever she felt discriminated against as a divorced woman. She got her bachelor's when I was in elementary school and then a law degree. She always had a strong sense of justice and she loved to help clients she thought were being treated unfairly.

@ripest-plum.bsky.social and I researched and wrote a whopper of an article on HHS shopping for expanded migrant children housing space.

our military industrial complex has lost every war since the turn of the century, costing trillions, but teaching music and art isn’t “profitable”

this music from 1676 goes as hard as the cover art by Albrecht Dürer. seems like it was enhanced to saturate the drawing www.bmimages.com/preview.asp?...

it is so interesting going through these negatives and looking at someone's slice of life photos from 80+ years ago. here are a few more.

good hot take - the mayor's boosterism panders to residents who experience the city like fickle Yelp reviewers

went to an SF Giants game this week and was a bit shocked to see Kalshi ads ringing the field, might as well take cigarette ads again.

excellent story and on-brand for Philly that its most beloved painting is so visceral. (for whatever reason prefer seeing it when they hang it at PAFA)

Roy DeCarava, Sidney Poitier. 1960.

Pritesh Walia’s album released just a few weeks ago features his compositions performed with a big band. horrifying that he’s currently in ICE detention youtu.be/7IGsT7LxiTo?...

one of the best pieces of criticism I’ve read recently - the “tomb” description also applies to what TBTWA did to the Barnes, an incredible site-specific art collection moved into a sarcophagus replica
