As a long-time @LRB reader, it’s phenomenal that @blgtylr’s first piece for the paper is a sprawling take on Zola’s Les Rougon-Macquart, a task I’ve been delightedly following on this cursèd site for the past two years. Consider this a hearty endorsement of all parties involved.

I had such a great time giving this presentation at #TPC2023 in Birmingham (UK) last week -- what a lovely and inviting conference!

Food for thought from Blake-Anthony Johnson @chi_sinfonietta presented by Michaela Drapes @MadeHQ in an insightful session about flexible pricing models! #TPC2023
A women speaks in front of a screen. The screen shows a quote ‘I find it really odd that we subsidise tickets for youths and senior citizens. There is a large group of people in between. What I’m suggesting is that we have the kind of relationship with the community in which we are a public service and want to be a part of your life regardless of whether you’re giving us money.’

Today marks the 30th anniversary of one of my all time favourite albums, and probably one of the most important of my teenage years, So Tough by @bobpetesarah. And though noone entertained my arguably stupid idea to do dub versions, I still love it dearly, so here's a thread...

Happy 100th birthday to the Triadic Ballet!!! seeingdance.com/the-triadic-…

Strange and futuristic: 100 years of The Triadic Ballet

The costumes are extraordinary, among the most striking and unusual ever conceived. Even a hundred years later, they look strangely futuristic.

Here's an illicit pic I took of the costumes at the Bauhaus Museum Dessau before a docent yelled at me for doing so without a photo pass

I've been very quiet in this poll due to ~~life things~~, but hey vote for the song that features the tragic, overwrought death in all of pop history, imho. (That song is not "Eleanor Rigby")

On my first official day working in London, I just happened to stumble on a lovely social video shoot @BarbicanCentre with Tai Murray @xtaizy ahead of her performance tomorrow night … really brought back the memories of all our fun content creation moments @nycballet.

Not sure this will reach many people who haven’t voted in this poll yet, but let’s get Cher through!!! “Sexy Boy” is all right — but come on now, “Believe” is perfectly, iconically the most 1998 song possible.

While I could have nominated a million favorites from this oddly pivotal year, I just had to pull Spoon into the game. Who could have known that after the disastrous release of A Series of Sneaks in ‘98 that they’d not only bounce back but go on thrive and survive to present day?

I know that @mondosalvo might disagree, but everything that makes Spoon still great was on display here: three people making too much noise, all rhythm and no melody, oblique lyrics full of snotty Texas swagger.

Would buy someone a drink who was reading this at the bar. Or at least flirt awkwardly with them.
