"I made the argument to my wife that we should do a clean sweep. I took all the discs we had to an Oxfam on Kentish Town Road. I remember handing the bag over dubiously, with no faith in the resale value of the contents. What a cool thing, I told myself, as I walked away unencumbered, to own no albums… yet somehow to own every album. What freedom! What choice! "I don’t know how long it took for the regret to sink in. Three years? Five? I know that I miss my pile of CDs now." https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jul/28/cd-sales-rise-taylor-swift-collection-nostalgia-90s-oasis-bashy-metronomy-kitty-liv

'But as well as providing a decade-by-decade summary of Armstrong's career, the Louis in London album also captures his complex identity as a performer." https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240722-louis-armstrong-the-us-jazz-icon-with-a-controversial-legacy

"The records were to be destroyed after the war but many of them survived." https://archive.org/details/V-discs1-991943-1944

I hope the set includes Lena Horne.

A town's local history society has said a punk gig which “caused mayhem” and resulted in certain types of live music being banned in public buildings for two decades is "not worthy" of a blue plaque. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp38z28yjpvo

In my opinion, Colombia’s goalkeeper should have been able to prevent Argentina’s goal.

I will be watching the final of the Copa America, including the Shakira halftime.

I had the same experience shipping packages Media Mail from Texas to Florida. I mailed the first package on a Wednesday and it arrived to its destination on Friday. My guess was that the Media Mail plane flies out of Texas on Wednesday evenings. From then on, I shipped all Media Mail on Wednesdays and each time the package arrived in 48 hours.

This video reminds me of the reenactment of the original ballet for The Rite of Spring.

If you don't mind another Rick Beato video, here is his point of view:

A protest song:

Maybe the best view of the saxophone is at the 0:48 seconds mark of the video.

You can watch a CBSAustin news video of the exhibit. The Coltrane saxophone appears at the 2:04 minute mark. There is an acoustic guitar behind the saxophone.

Has this forum already mentioned the exhibit at the LBJ Presidential Library? If you are in central Texas, you might want to see the display of “iconic objects from America’s music history”, including one of John Coltrane’s saxophones (a saxophone that he gave to Ira Gitler). The saxophone is inside a cabinet, directly beneath two guitars owned by Jimi Hendrix. The exhibit also has one of Dizzy Gillespie’s trumpets, a saxophone owned by Sidney Bechet, clothing worn by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald’s cabaret card, videos, handwritten lyrics, contracts, Jim Morrison’s journal, more clothing, a minimoog, etc. https://www.lbjlibrary.org/news-and-press/press-releases/music-america-exhibition-opens-at-lbj-library
