My first time going to NFA! Anyone from Music Bluesky going to be in Portland? (P.S. if this seems like Not Enough Flutes, know that there are two new arrangements of this piece that are Only Flutes.)
A steampunk genderfuck bio-horror murder mystery that reads like Carpenter, Shelley, and Poe gleefully vivisecting each other. Absolutely magnificent @hironennes.bsky.social
Great grey owl, great blue heron, and really-great multicolored wood duck
After Val Kilmer died, I made a deal with @pwallinga.bsky.social that if she watched Prince of Egypt (my fav of his movies), then I would finally watch Top Gun. I figured this was a pretty safe bet, since she (by her own admission) doesn't ever watch movies that are good. But she did it.
Double bar day on TO KEEP TIME for wind ensemble. Do you conduct a band that likes groovy steampunk counterpoint, or know someone who does? Consortium's open another few weeks!
THE NINE LIVES OF ADOLPHE SAX gets a consortium premiere this afternoon with Erik Steighner and Oksana Ejokina at PLU! Program also includes Carter Pann's "The White Horse," which is NOT about the chess piece.
This book from @elysegraham.bsky.social is phenomenal, and not just because it enables my delusion that I - a wimpy academic entirely lacking physical capability, deviousness, and courage - would have made a great spy under the right circumstances.
What a time to be posting food pics, I know, but I made this smørrebrød on a milk rye I baked, and I need you all to know that the Danes are right: this is a great sandwich
The guy who invented the saxophone could not be killed. I'm writing a piece where each movement musically depicts one of the phenomena that tried and failed to take him out - it's nine movements and I'm leaving out SEVERAL of his brushes with death.
Hey everyone you'd better read this book at goddamn once. It made me weep and cackle and generally have a complete fucking breakdown on a 2:00am flight to Spokane, Washington. @emilystjams.bsky.social you're brilliant and probably owe my seatmates an apology
Oh interesting I actually don't know this actor. I think I was thinking of Jeremy Strong. Seems kinda mean to Strong in hindsight.
My contribution to the newly-declared #cabbagesky, north German kohlbrot. This bread is about 1/3 cabbage.
Here it is in #CriscoRecipesfortheJewishHousewife! "Prokes" or "Haleptches." Interestingly, the tomato is optional! The core sauce is lemon-based here.
