Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday with Spine River : The Guitar Music of Wall Matthews, 1967​-​1981, released on Tompkins Square in 2020

Guitarist Wall Matthews is surviving member of experimental 70's collective, Entourage. Sampled by Four Tet, their name whispered in reverence through the decades, Entourage forged bold musical ideas on their two rare ’70s Folkways LPs. Tompkins Square released Ceremony of Dreams : Studio Sessions and Outtakes, 1972-1977, in 2018 to wide acclaim. Spine River : The Guitar Music of Wall Matthews, 1967-1981 is a collection of unreleased or obscure music by the master guitarist. This volume will be released as a limited edition LP, along with four other digital volumes of Wall's music, mapping his entire career. All five albums will be released on April 10th, 2020.

Ended Tuesday and started Wednesday after a swim with Elvis Was A Capricorn by William Tyler, released on Tompkins Square in 2012.

Grayson Haver Currin wrote for Pitchfork:

"Maybe 10 minutes seems like a long time to listen to one electric guitar play one piece of music. But even on the shorter songs from his 2010 LP Behold the Spirit, Nashville guitarist William Tyler demonstrated enviable faculties of both dynamics and timing. He patched moments of guitar picking so quiet they seemed to murmur with drones dense enough to rattle the cage, shifting between them with preternatural ease.

...Elvis Was a Capricorn is included as a bonus in the limited-edition box set that reprises all five of Tompkins Square’s Imaginational Anthem compilations."

This is Christo, our local resident male red-tailed hawk. I have a special affinity for him, having first observed him in the neighborhood in November 2013. Since then, he has nested every spring and has produced 23 offspring, as well as fostering a young red-tail who fell out of its nest. He's an amazing creature and I love him so much. 🥰

Today in Labor History January 13, 1874: The original Tompkins Square Riot occurred on this date in response to the Long Depression. The depression, which lasted from 1873-1877, was the worst depressions in the history of the U.S. until the Great Depression of the 1930s. Over 3 million people were unemployed. 900 people starved to death in the winter of 1873, while 3,000 people left their infants on doorsteps because they couldn’t feed them. In New York City, alone, there were over 90,000 homeless workers, half of whom were women. >7,000 marched to Tompkins Square Park to demonstrate for public works jobs, when mounted police charged into the crowd, beating men, women and children indiscriminately with clubs, causing hundreds of casualties. Police Commissioner Abram Duryee said, "It was the most glorious sight I ever saw."
