good evening friends it's been an eventful week in chilitown. Lots of new music to catch up on!

For starters, here's a *new* version of Let X=X, performed live with NYC avant garde jazz weirdos Sexmob. Very cool! I wonder if an album is forthcoming?

Laurie Anderson with Sexmob - Let X=X (Live) (Official Visualizer)

@design_law #chainsawman was pretty great. Watched Spirited Away again and was still captivated. #TheCure at MSG was one of the best concerts I have been to in a while. Steven Bernstein’s #SexMob was wonderful as usual multiple times as well as his Millennial Territory Orchestra at a little recording studio in the UWS.

For the computing robot this is today but the truth is

we find comfort
in the unreachable

WFMU

The first concert I worked on my freshman year at college was Dutch avant #jazz #bigband, Willem Breuker Kollektief. It blew my mind at the time. I had never heard that kind of extended technique during the solos, nor free improv focused more on humor than rage. Listening back now, it sounds sort of quaint. But it opened my ears to #SunRaArkestra #CarlaBley, #WorldSaxQuartet, #Zorn, #Mingus, #SexMob, #JazzPassengers
