For some reason I'd love to see her get on stage in a business casual dress, wearing these glasses looking like she's ready to do your taxes or maintain some mf'ing quiet in the library, and rip the house down.

Re: A music / listening share thread?
There is no escape from the dualism of life, vanity of vanities
I am embittered towards humanity for its failures
Yet I possess all of these same shortcomings
There is grief in wisdom, there is sorrow in truth
Yet, the heart of the wise is in the house of mourning
And by sad countenance the heart is made stronger in time
So, I embrace this burden and weep for the fools that chase the wind
--Richard Feynman

Re: A music / listening share thread?
Sleep never comes quick enough to protect us
There is no shelter in the present from the ghosts of the past
Like well driven nails
Memories dig their claws in our backs
Revealing our black hearts
Unable to forgive ourselves
Our parched mouths pray for rain
And only the clouds bear witness as we wither away
--Richard Feynman

I'd be curious as to what people think - ie. if Tosin's another Frip or not. Personality-wise not so much, he's a really chill guy, I just mean playing innovation and talent, and to a degree style of experimentation:

On Sunday, September 15, 1963, a bomb exploded at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four young girls and injuring 22 other worshippers. The incident had a profound effect on many Americans. One of them was John Coltrane, one of the leading Jazz saxophonists in the 1950s and 60s, when American Jazz was at its commercial peak.
Coltrane composed and performed “Alabama” that same year in response to the 16th Street bombing. The song is an instrumental, with no words. Music historian Craig Werner describes it this way:
“Coltrane patterned his saxophone lines on the cadences of Martin Luther King’s oration at the funeral of the four girls who died. Midway through the song, mirroring the part of the sermon where King transforms mourning into a statement of renewed determination, Elvin Jones’s drums rise up from a whisper to a tumult of directed anger. Propelled by the rhythms, Coltrane’s sax summons the people to what can only be understood as a unified assault on Pharaoh’s palace.”

Those are great lyrics. I've never heard of Hopesfall, but I shall be checking them out now...Astro Cat wrote: ↑August 9th, 2022, 4:55 pmNothing can be obtained by grasping at the wind
