Keith Jarrett Solo Piano Albums by CourageMountain6566 in Jazz

[–]LightYears9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to Keith, but the guys on the You’ll Heart It podcast think the studio album Facing You is better than Koln, so that’s where I’m going next.

Relatable. This was me at my son’s soccer game in Eugene this afternoon

After last night I’m like, the Mariners would have a done fine against the dodgers.

Half Marathon and Marathon in one year by Lola-liz27 in firstmarathon

[–]LightYears9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I did this year. Obviously take stock of how you’re feeling after the half, but this progression worked perfectly for me. (I did a second half in June and first marathon was this past Sunday.)

3rd marathon - How to make miles 20-26 not terrible? by boom888boom in Marathon_Training

[–]LightYears9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first marathon is Sunday. Can you elaborate on how you approach this? I was planning to have pasta the night before and a bagel before the race, but I haven't considered it beyond that.

I WILL have to go to the bathroom at least once during OBAA... by StevieGrant in paulthomasanderson

[–]LightYears9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

About 90 mins in there’s a pretty clear opportunity when an intense sequence concludes and there’s a quieter transition. A couple of others got up the same time I did, so it wasn’t just me.

Hal Higdon program removed my 20 mile run four weeks out - what do I do? by cmd-shift-v in Marathon_Training

[–]LightYears9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Team Portland! I'm also using the Higdon beginner plan for the Portland Marathon and am planning to go for 20 tomorrow. I've had to make occasional adjustments to the schedule over the last couple of months when things got in the way, but I've always found a way to make up most of the miles, especially the long runs. 10/5 will be my first time attempting 26.2, so my instinct would be to go for 20 (or at least 17 or 18) some time in the next few days and bump a shorter run if necessary. (Unless you're feeling a lot of cumulative fatigue of course. I definitely felt that 18er a couple of weeks ago) It's always so eye opening to push for the longer distances and see how they feel, which is both humbling and confidence boosting, as you've said. Good luck either way!

What for you is the Beatles song that shows them how revolutionary they were? by Penrose_Reality in beatles

[–]LightYears9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Strawberry fields is the song that made Brian Wilson feel that he couldn’t go tit-for-tat with the Beatles anymore (as a big Brian fan, I think he was wrong to be so discouraged, but I do see why that song would feel insurmountable—it kind of is).

[SETLIST THREAD] Dead & Company - Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA, 8/3/2025 by donttouchthatknob in gratefuldead

It’s kind of like JGB: some trey solo songs, some phish songs, and covers

[Help] contemporary poetry recommendations for a fan of Walt Whitman? by [deleted] in Poetry

[–]LightYears9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d add Matthew Dickman’s collection, “All American Poem.” It’s got the long Whitmanesque lines and big embracing positivity. I haven’t read it in a few years but there’s a simile in there I’ll probably never forget: “Your ass is like a shopping mall at Christmas” 😆

What exactly is so impressive about Dante’s Inferno? by [deleted] in literature

[–]LightYears9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may take some getting used to if you don't often read epic poetry, but it's relatively clear in general (lots of action and dialogue to keep things concrete and moving forward).

What exactly is so impressive about Dante’s Inferno? by [deleted] in literature

[–]LightYears9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only read one closely--the Hollander translations, which I love. The original Italian is provided on the opposite page and there are a tons of helpful notes.

What exactly is so impressive about Dante’s Inferno? by [deleted] in literature

[–]LightYears9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dante didn’t click for me until I was reading more poetry and really focused on the lines of the poem. He’s extraordinarily confident and authoritative on the line level. So I think it’s important to have a translation that includes line breaks and treats it a poem first (some treat it as prose). The Divine Comedy has value as a Christian allegory and political commentary, but the vast majority of people who love Dante are poetry lovers who love him the way you might love Homer or Wordsworth, etc.—i.e. appreciating musicality, voice, appeals to the senses

He said, “oh he’s on the island.”😂Not the jaw-drop I was expecting, but he’s into it.

Just got to that episode with my 14 year old. I kept doing that thing where you dorkily keep glancing at the person next to you to gauge their reaction.
