I used to intentionally not want to mix my worlds because I was afraid of taking up too much space. I'm very much over that and am humbled that @spinmagazine gave me a platform to talk about it! Big thanks to Tara Klein for the opportunity! spin.com/2023/06/saxoph…

Nikola Jokic might be the greatest player I've ever seen man lmao

Good ol’ music industry behavior using work and late emails as a coping mechanism for this shit show. Why are we like this?

Also note to self to reschedule my Friday afternoon meetings because my band is apparently playing the parade.

Not gonna lie, Dodgers mayhem is kinda fun. Waking up tomorrow after randomly ending up in DTLA at damn near 1am will not be.

Back to back nights of overtime bailouts and insane stat lines. I hope Jokic gets to do nothing but binge watch Pokémon the next two days.

Oh right, you can’t buy booze at grocery stores in Colorado and that’s why it’s slim pickings for delivery options.

Chicago saxophonist Isaiah Collier‘s new album, The World Is on Fire, pulls no punches in its commentary on current chaos – but the album also imagines the future he’d like to see. trib.al/2lqOKs0

Delta’s in-flight boarding music is TRASH! It’s like the 2010s without an oversaturation of toms and I never thought I’d prefer that music to anything.

I can’t do weather colder than 60 degrees or have any commitment earlier than 7am. Those are my thresholds.

Of course there’s some natural bias in this statement, but I’m telling you—the most successful press campaigns are when you treat the publicist like a trusted member of the team and not a disposable entity. 🤸🏻‍♀️🫡✌️

For his new album “The World Is on Fire,” the saxophonist and composer Isaiah Collier wanted the LP to be an “observation log” of the past four years — capturing recent racial violence and the protests demanding change. nyti.ms/3Xlg1TZ

@FunkCityATL Zero legit vacations this year so far (but a bunch of little 2-4 day work trips that have been fun but not enough) so just trying to hold off till Sicily in October…but tempted to be like “last minute send!” and staycation 😝

@saxolutely Diabolically good!

I should lie and say I’m going to Burning Man or Phish Dicks so I can sit in the privacy of my own home unbothered and “off the grid” for days on end.

If you’re double emailing me on a weekend and well before 9 am on Monday (when you reside in the same time zone), it’s time to chillllll.

Holy shit finding out more and more Colorado crew pulled up for this OG Head Hunters reunion. 303 🤝 323

@otherhouses Reminds me of sandwiches. 🥪🥪🥪

love when the Meters hit a Can-like seam of stony transcendence, which is almost always youtu.be/ZoBIp817miY?si…

One of the best compliments you can receive in your mid/late 30s is “you take really good care of your skin.”

My BIGGEST pet peeve is if I’m the hookup (tix, drinks, AA, etc) and you can’t even uphold the basic requirement of being punctual. Lord have mercy.

Stated the day by getting called an “old lady” by an 8-year-old child halfway across the globe because I told him he can’t start on a baritone saxophone and don’t want him to hurt his back. 👵🏼
