Three Things
Carly
- Listening: To Kara Swisher’s interview with Killer Mike on her podcast Sway, who does a great job of interviewing him. They talk about his experiences as a Black man in American, his involvement with politics, being an entrepreneur and his new bank, created to serve and empower the Black community
- Listening pt 2: To Jonathan Goldstein’s podcast Heavyweight. It’s back for its fifth season and the first episode, Vivian has her so excited for more
- Visiting: The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, after first hearing about it from George at Copenhagen’s Glyptoteket (that has an equally beautiful courtyard garden) as he recounted the story of the 1900 heist. There are empty frames on the walls where the pieces were stolen from
Dan
- Watching: SOSFEST, aka Save Our Stages Fest, an online festival that was held at independent venues. It had a great line up, but Phoebe Bridgers’ performance was one of his favorites
- Watching pt 2: Staged, starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen, a six episode miniseries about two actors meant to star in a play thwarted by COVID-19 but they continue rehearsing online
- Listening: To The Midnight’s instrumental version of their album Monsters, something he wishes more bands did. Highly suggested as productivity music!
George, who did three this week
- Quoting: Thelonious Monk, “Play your own way. Don’t play what the public wants. You play what you want and let the public pick up on what you’re doing...even if it does take them fifteen, twenty years”
- Loving: That the Beastie Boys licensed “Sabotage” -- something they have not done since Adam Yauch’s passing as he included a clause in his will preventing their music being used for any promotional purposes -- for a Joe Biden campaign ad about the state of venues
- Loving pt 2: The internet, generally, and specifically a rabbit hole that is YouTube which started with Fishing With John episode with Jim Jarmusch and then led to a home video of Dean Ween fishing with Les Claypool, then on to Deaner doing guitar moves with Matt Sweeny and ended with a Ween concert in Chicago, but George also wants to include this MTV video of Ween in 1995; he claims it's very brown
