OTOH

Kudos to Danielle Wertz the vocalist and arranger, for winning a share of the Grammy for the best instrumental performance, in the project led by Remy LeBoef. Remy plays reeds, Pascal plays piano: they are the first twins to win Grammy’s in successive years. From Santa Cruz. Danielle is from DC area; she performed in Earthwise new music series in the Raffi Garabedian project; came thru recently with her Joan Mitchell Leonard Cohen project with Eddie from Ohio; said hi to me in New York Winterjazzfest at Matt Merewitz’ Fully Altered showcase that included Carmen Staaf, Adam O’Farrill, Ben Goldberg, Hamir Atwal, Dillon Vado and Todd Sickafoose, and Josh Roseman. At Loove Labs sick.

Regarding Dean: she is playing two nights this summer at the Warriors arena. She looks healthier seven years ago in a video doing “Natural Woman”. She went to the same performing arts school as Imogene Heap.

Edit to add or ad: Oivia Dean is booked by Jenna Adler of CAA so will be just fine.

and1– I deserve the MacFound grant for running a post about Olivia Dean, Hattie McDaniel and Jenna Adler

AO Scott in NYT:

‘Spectres of the Spectrum” is a sci-fi thriller about a renegade scientist named Yogi and his daughter, Boo Boo, a psychic media terrorist, who set out one day in the year 2007 to disrupt a magnetic pulse that threatens to erase the memories of everyone on the planet. Wait, that’s not quite right. Let’s try again.

”Spectres of the Spectrum” is a documentary collage, composed of scraps from 1950’s television shows, defense department films and an obscure educational docudrama on the life of Alexander Graham Bell, among other things. It marshals a great deal of evidence to support many provocative arguments about technology, the media, electromagnetism, the science of cosmography and the spirit world, none of which, sadly, can be reconstructed here, owing to limitations of space and comprehension.

Of course, there may be other reasons. It may be that I can’t tell you what this movie is about because ”they” — meaning, as far as I can tell, a collection of people including David Sarnoff, Admiral Nimitz and L. Ron Hubbard, as well as the suspiciously affable Dr. Herald, host of the now forgotten program ”Science in Action” — don’t want me to.

Because if the truth about this stuff ever got out, boy, it would blow the lid off the whole thing. (You know, the whole electromagnetic media-monopoly military-industrial complex orgone box Tesla coil thing. Do I have to spell it out for you?) Because I have a tiny chip implanted in my left rear molar that tells me to say just what they want me to. You think I’m paranoid? That’s what they want you to think.

Steve Cohen and I visited with Craig Baldwin last week in his mission Street outpost storefront. He said, like Mark Twain, that the rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

but he is looking for a successor. Not sure if that means running ATA, owning the building, intellectual property and storage ship of the Films, 1000 steel canisters of cellulite or what. Maybe someone should make a film about that.

I shot Craig Baldwin in his pajamas. how we got into his pajamas is none of my beeswax.

And1 or A1:

Lockhart arrived in the National Basketball League with the Eastside Spectres in 1989 – impacting immediately, averaging 28.8 points and 6.6 rebounds to earn All NBL First Team and NBL All Star selections. The Spectres failed to make the Finals that year, but Lockhart helped catapult Eastside into contention the following year, eventually dropping the Semi Finals to the Brisbane Bullets.

TIME OUT— I said his pajamas or how he got into his pajamas, but AI changed it to our pajamas or how we got into his pajamas get it got it good but not would or wood

In 1991, Lockhart helped guide the Spectres into the NBL Grand Final Series against the Perth Wildcats, where Eastside lost the series 2-1. Kent Lockhart was briefly inspector and he is now a legend. Craig Baldwin is real and the legend, but as they say print the legend or strike a new print or preserve an old print in a steel canisterLockhart arrived in the National Basketball League with the Eastside Spectres in 1989 – impacting immediately, averaging 28.8 points and 6.6 rebounds to earn All NBL First Team and NBL All Star selections.

I have no idea what just happened. I knew here. I am new here. Last York, I knew hear well. Alas Yorick I new here well. Try the fish. And lichen on greenland tastes like chicken to polar bears who enjoy all the changes at The North Pole.

I got two cookies and a carry bag out of the deal. Cookies I can eat not cookies I can accept or reject..

I don’t know NFTs other than it seems like it’s a pyramid scheme involving crypto.

Ribbit is a VC firm above CVS where for a while a homeless lady now dead would sleep in front of their door. They have $12 billion AUM. My inference after reading Wikipedia is that their founder is a Venezuelan Jew and that the name is phonetic for the Hebrew word for interest or vig.

We the people the ones still on the gold standard also got a rogue mural out of the deal that is one building down from the public arts commission mural by Mona Caron.

The retail site is facing Lytton Plaza— maybe they will join my effort to bring Music to the plaza. Resale site formally had a Ross store during the time the Bay Area action would meet in the basement. It had TCV above for a while. The landlord, therefore is the rower guy with the Scottish name. it was also West Elm.

the best I can do to explain it: crypto is a thing made up that was worth $10. Some people bought it at 10 and now it’s worth 1000. So the millions they put in are now worth billions. meanwhile, the president is considering getting rid of paper money altogether and just doing block chain. so some people with this new script invested in in a new type of art called NFT.. but even if you fall in love with the punks, want one on your wall or on your phone or whatever you still have to turn real money into crypto. Which is good if they replace or the whole $10 becomes $1000 thing. And about the time that the Tesla founder becomes a trillionaire.

RECENT EARTHWISE ACTION

hardly strictly hybernatin’

this type of cheap content generation for my blog makes some kind of postmodern statement about the names of NBA scores

I go to Mac’s to buy the news. A mural is a type of media and currency. The painter will be there only a few more days. Our public art program paid for this. It depicts leatherwood blossoms.
