Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from January 4, 2020 Favoriting

Dave Sewelson's avatar View Dave Sewelson's profile Favoriting

Charles Mingus said jazz was a word invented to separate musicians from their money. Music for a Free World brings us together, drawing listeners to the healing power of smooth free jazz. Each week, surprise guests bring their own sides to spin and their instruments of choice to spontaneously jam.

@fred (via Mayulo's board about the Pixies): I once had tix to a sold out show for Frank Black. I was standing in line and I saw a HS friend whom I hadn't seen in 5 years drive from out of town, whom I knew was a huge Frank Black fan, so, I gave him my tix and did not accept payment.

Similarly to you, when I was 16, Nirvana played at my local club, and I was there, but I hadn't heard of them, so, I stayed outside and smoked cloves (this was before Nevermind)

Curcura can mean curse en espanol, but curcuros also has a root that is similar as cursive, or elegant and flowing in Latin, Curcuro is also an medieval monastery town near Palermo, Sicily w/ some deep Islamic history.....

I've told this before, maybe on this playlist (apologies if I did), but I once had an argument with a coworker about Braxton's music. After a long while, it turned out he was talking about Toni, and I about Anthony. Neither of us knew about the "other" Braxton. The conversation turned surreal way before we caught on something being amiss. Wish there was a transcript

@fred: I know the work of both Braxtons (Anthony is a bodhisattva to me), and was (haven't hung out in almost 8 years) friends w/ Tyondai
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:25pm
fred:

@ngh: I know it's a minority opinion, but I liked Battles better when Tyondai was in it.
Also, where are you on the job front? (I've been less than attentive to playlists lately)

@fred:Still at UPS, but I have a face to face interview next Friday for a senior GIS manager for the county that includes Orlando....
I need to find a new place to live, as my brother moves into his new house in 6 weeks, but the uncertainty of income has me looking for roommates for the first time my wife and I moved in together 10 years ago. The only people that seem to need roommates are either sketchy or boring (I'm still expanding my social purview around here)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:38pm
fred:

@ngh: boring looks better than sketchy (I know sketchy types that are not threatening but would leave you with their share of the rent more often than not). I'd keep fingers crossed for you, but that would slow me down as I walk through the still ongoing transit strike (one month today!). Still hope you'll find something nice for both job and accomodation

One thing I don't miss about my old landlord in Bushwick, it was pulling teeth to get them to replace anything 30+ years old, let alone for him to hire someone to clean the common space, at all....
