C'era una crepa sul muro, da sempre. Fu lasciata lì quella crepa, mai riparata, per decenni, affinché tutte le generazioni che vi avrebbero abitato vi leggessero ogni santo giorno la precarietà della propria esistenza. [Irene Santori, Tah’eb] [Joachim Trier, Sentimental Value)

In quel momento preciso, ognuno di loro aveva capito di amare e che cosa vuole dire amare. Vuol dire sentire dolorosamente il mondo intero separarsi da te. [Irene Santori, Tah’eb, @CastelvecchiEd] [Anselm Kiefer, Alchimiste]

All the valley, mother, ’ill be fresh and green and still, And the cowslip and the crowfoot are over all the hill, ... For I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May. - Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) songosmeltingpot.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-ma…

Tutto gli sarebbe sopravvissuto? Oppure tutto sarebbe morto con lui? Che ne sarebbe stato di quella disposizione dei mobili, di quell'ordine studiato e di quegli allineamenti? Come si comporta una casa? [Irene Santori, Tah’eb, @CastelvecchiEd] [David Lowery, A Ghost Story]

Woke up to some sad news this morning. Country music outlaw David Allan Coe passed away last night. He never tried to fit in Nashville b/c never needed to. He lived hard, sang honest & gave us songs that still echo in every dive bar, backroad holler & country road across the nation. RIP David Allan Coe September 6, 1939 – April 29, 2026

One of my most listened-to bands right now is Mildred, a quartet from Oakland that functions as a true band — all four guys write, most sing, and their music has a loose hangout vibe. Like Silver Jews if David Berman moved to Cali and studied CSNY. uproxx.com/indie/mildred-…

Hey, I wrote a big essay about alt-country in the 2020s, writing about dozens of bands/artists in the process. Also compiled a soundtrack playlist with 50 twangy favorites (or 3 1/2 hours of music, perfect for a spring break road trip). tinyurl.com/ysktuha6

'69 Love Songs' is the Magnetic Fields' LP that is justifiably lionized as a big conceptual swing, but 1995's New Order-On-A-Fostex-4-Track 'Get Lost' is the great LP of theirs that I turn to most . A counter-factual history of indie-rock where Roxy Music replaces rock. A prayer.

30 years on... a little less beautiful. Same amount freaky. #beautifulfreaks #butch #tommy #e
