Plastic Alto with Mark Weiss

Rabiah Kabir and Cien Mil Mangos from Stanford at Johnson Park by Earthwise 2023; billion dollar venue with a million diodes in Las Vegas; oak leaves versus diodes.

The photos are out of order: he caught the ball on the left wing, the inbounder cleared out; he beat his man baseline. He split the double team help; it was a reverse layup, for which he did not see the finish because he was on the ground.

Stanford trailed by 12 with 12 minutes to go and then closed to within four with four minutes to go. But Notre Dame won, in a very low-scoring match.

I’m excited to be buying tickets for an upcoming show at the Bottom of the Hill featuring a band called Pee. Stylized as P.E.E.

This band played my concert series at Cubberley back in 1995. The ad for the concert says they are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their Noise Pop performance in that same year.

This band was managed by Kevin Arnold who is the founder of Noise Pop. This band literally plays Noise Pop, which is sort of like punk. Even 30 years later, I easily recalled that the singer is Kelly Green.

for me in my 30 second year as Earthwise stet sic I think of this event as falling between my Edward Simon show on February 28 and my Edu Ribeiro show on March 17. Or

Edward Simon, Adam Cruz, Reuben Rogers, Stephan Crump, PEE, Murry Low, Edu Ribeiro, Vinicius Gomes, Noah Garabedian….

Not to be confused with friends of Pee meaning the sisters-in-law of Jack Black and Company.

Dear Carol:
We have finally arrived and all are well.
Yes, I do have the Taos flute. I borrowed it to use in radio shows in
Europe.
I plan to return it in the fall for I am to return to the USA in
September.
I hope that Mr. Whiting of the [Dartmouth College]museum would understand How important it
is that I can play the flute and it must be heard and that the flute
will be returned and taken care of.
If necessary I will send it back immediately.
Miss you all.
Much love,
Don Cherry

A CALL TO RENAME FOR PAUL LYTTON PLAZA

Elif Batuman’sdeep engagement with Russian literature, culture, and language, detailed in her acclaimed memoir The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them, where she humorously explores her academic journey and love for Russian classics like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, often juxtaposing grand literature with absurd reality, and more recently writing on how to approach Russian works amidst current political contexts. 

One kindness that Springsteen has afforded his body is more days off, leaving time for his family, for exercise, for listening to music, watching movies, reading. Lately, he has been consumed with Russian fiction. “It’s compensatory-what you missed the first time around,” he said. “I’m sixty-some, and I think, There are a lot of these Russian guys! What’s all the fuss about? So I was just curious. That was an incredible book: The Brothers Karamazov. Then I read The Gambler. The social play in the first half was less interesting to me, but the second half, about obsession, was fun. That could speak to me. I was a big John Cheever fan, and so when I got into Chekhov I could see where Cheever was coming from.

One reason for the explosion in the number of words is an expansion of our notion of what counts as a word. Take “K.” “K” can mean one kilometre, a thousand monetary units, one thousand twenty-four bytes of computer storage space, a strikeout in baseball, a degree on the Kelvin temperature scale, the nation of Korea (as in “K-pop”), the chemical potassium, a measure of the fineness of gold (karat), the drug ketamine, kindergarten (as in “K-12”), the king in a chess move (as in “Kd2”), a South African racial slur (as in “the K-word”), the shape of a kind of economic recovery, and a protagonist in Franz Kafka’s novels.
