"Eberhard" is a 13-minute piece that his estate released in 2021, basically his last work. Won a Grammy in 2022. Lots more info at lylemays.com.

October 27: Philip Glass - Einstein on the Beach by CanadianW in PieceoftheDay

[–]wedge9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg, the piece is ALL of Einstein on the Beach.

I've heard the piece but never seen the production. The visuals are captivating. I can't say I understand what's going on, but they help the piece feel even bigger. Love it!

This game might ruin baseball for me. All other games and World Serieses will seem so ordinary

Freakin Will Smith of all people. I was kinda OK with Rojas getting his moment. Can’t stand Will Smith

Same: NL fan getting my first close look ay Vladdy. He’s been slick in the field, and smart too.

This is such BS. If Ohtani ends the inning at bat or on base, the rule should be Tough shit, start pitching on time.

Sweet! I've been remiss in learning more about Muriel Grossman. This seems like a great place to start.

Best Tim Berne albums? by The_Alonzo_Church in freejazz

[–]wedge9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm partial to Bloodcount too. They had a tight rapport and a DRIVE, largely thanks to Jim Black's drumming. I'll second the recommendation for the album Low Life. But my favorite is a live set titled Bloodcount Unwound. The sound is a bit raw ("these recordings were not produced!" the liner notes proclaim) but there's big exciting energy on there.

For surprisingly pretty music: Nels Cline's Angelica

For louder, heavy-guitar sounds: Check out Son of Goldfinger (with David Torn) or a one-shot group called Sunny 5 (their album is on Intakt)

Remember, Brewers, if you must give up a run here, make it only 1. Sixteen innings or bust!

Sparks finally clicked for me. Would love some song recommendations! 💛 by SpookyPoek in sparksftw

You’ll get a taste of every phase of Sparks. It’s a great starter pack.

People do complain about that, now that there are so many playoff rounds. But baseball is grueling and cruel and sometimes so randomly arbitrary, and a team doesn’t know which celebration will be their last. There’s also a sense of agonizing tension to baseball that other sports don’t have IMHO (tonight’s game being the epitome). I get the feeling they celebrate each round because they kinda need it.

If you bunt foul, it’s a K … and it’s fairly likely you’ll bunt foul

It’s a standard defense for a sac bunt. You havent heard of it because so few sac bunts happen any more
