as a result of the band's polite request, masking at the yo la tengo hanukkah shows was as close to 100% as i've basically ever seen, which was a small holiday miracle & genuinely comforting. i'm not really interested in having a conversation about this, but would like to point to my comrade @[email protected]'s articulate thread about it, if you don't mind clicking to twitter. https://twitter.com/generationloss/status/1607283487018549248?s=61&t=DFOWDshyKgt_P64iuhWhIQ

Have a printer and some chess pieces laying around? That's all you need to play Doc Pop's One-Dimensional Chess!

If you love chess, I think you'll really dig this variant. It's surprisingly more strategic and replay-able than it might appear. #Chess #ChessVariants #BoardGame #PrintAndPlay #GameDesign

one final #YoLaTengo #hanukkah show, night 8 at bowery ballroom, feat. comedian carole montgomery (replacing a late-scratched todd barry), the glorious sounds of the #SunRa arkestra led by 98-year-old marshall allen ("holiday for strings," beautiful "carefree") with a horn quartet joining for the 2nd half of YLT's set ("emulsified"! "dreaming"!), songs by alex chilton & the jefferson airplane, & the traditional final encore with ira's nonagenarian mom, marilyn. setlist: http://www.jessejarnow.com/2022/12/yo-la-tengo-hanukkah-2022-night-8-setlist/
