It’s a really really really nice fossil…

June 3, 2009

…but it’s still just a fossil.  I’m referring to Ida, the fossil of what will soon be named Darwinius masillae, which is almost certainly not our direct ancestor.  I don’t have time to go into detail*, here’s someone else’s blog post with tons of links.

*(but I will quip that chains have links, trees don’t)

Just stopping by…

May 15, 2009

…to indicate a couple of sites, one for fans of old-time/country blues/folky stuff, and another for fans of the punk/new wave/no wave/post punk interphase.

Again with the other blogs

April 28, 2009

Specifically this Inconstant Sol post, atwhere you may download a live set from 1982 of an Arthur Blythe band with Bob Stewart on Tuba and Kelvyn Bell on guitar.

Still not an actual post…

April 21, 2009

…but I thought I’d let you know that someone has blogged Bright Phoebus by Mike and Lal Waterson, with Richard Thompson, which I previously mentioned obliquely.

April 16, 2009

Life is nuts, wot?

February 25, 2009

As you may have noticed (in my wildest dreams), I haven’t posted much lately.  Fortunately, it turns out there are other folks out there blogging, and sometimes they post stuff.  For example:

1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9;

This one’s kind of a bummer, but why don’t you go ahead and read it anyway. The rest of the blog is alot more upbeat.

The Tone Generation podcast on synths in jazz.

January 7, 2009

Over here.  Very interesting, includes Bernard Parmegiani playing jazz and Paul Bley playing synth.

NB- the BP link is not his own, but he also has this slow-loading, audio-laden site in French.
