A really lovely recording of a truly classic Burt Bacharach song, balances punchy and lush perfectly.

The best song Burt Bacharach, Robert Wyatt, Sergio Mendes, Van Dyke Parks never wrote.

Closing Time is filled to the brim with smokey piano ballads. It’s less experimental than some of his (phenominal) later work, but so consistently good, you know you can always throw it on when you’re looking for that particular vibe. The old fashioned, dimly lit office, dusting off a thick book kinda vibe. I just threw it on while finishing this and I’m hankering for a good Christie and an old fashioned…

Blindsided by this, really sad. The list of Albini's productions is jaw-dropping. Magnolia Electric Company is one of the great pieces of post-industrial Americana, bleak and beautiful. Farewell Transmission is Jason Molina's most powerful recording, but the album (incl. outtakes) is stacked. Heavy & gorgeous, suitable for the moment.

Tearing up right now instead of working. I moved to the city as the last of Williamsburg's artistic energy was spent, and I moved to the edge of the neighborhood after it was already hollowed out. God bless the few places that are still interesting: Spectacle, Union Pool, Ore Bar, Blue Sun, Miriam Gallery, The P.I.T., Baby's, etc.
Are there places in NYC with a real artistic scene now, or did our new way of living end that possibility? Please don't say Hudson, there's no way I can learn to make furniture.

More of a look back on the making of the album, no footage from the actual recording, iirc. But great banter, good insights into the process.
The Wilco doc about making Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is good and dramatic, too—I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.
