A very illuminating chat about the art and trade of theater
A very illuminating chat about the art and trade of theater
It didn’t occur to me at the time, but listening back to this killer live album from 1987, I thought: X is like a rootsy California version of The Pixies: punk attitude, precision aim, surf guitar, harmony vocals. Comparison aside: what a band. #dailyalbum open.spotify.com/album/33Yp91Jb…
“Is here no telephone.” Less famous than its counterpart from Brecht/Weill’s MAHAGONNY (the one about the moon of Alabama), this slow-burn lament with doggerel English lyrics by Elisabeth Hauptmann is absurd, affecting, and arresting by turns. #dailysong open.spotify.com/track/30ywVT7C…
This 1973 Art Garfunkel single of a soaring Jimmy Webb ballad is almost too much of a good thing: feathery falsetto giving way to hearty belt, piano filigree, string embellishments, but I gulp down the syrup every time. #dailysong youtu.be/IaBjY-zm0sI
She’s hit musical heights since then but song for song, nothing tops Sharon Van Etten’s short, sweet coffeehouse country record from 2010, on which she sounds like she has earned every heartbroken word and note. #dailyalbum open.spotify.com/album/7mfSdEok…
I liked things in the new Broadway productions of ENEMY and VANYA but alas, I loved neither. My review for @americamag americamagazine.org/arts-culture/2…
love to listen to Supreme Court oral arguments about fun hypotheticals like “if you have a womb is it possible you aren’t a person” and “should we have a king”
#tbt Hal David looks back on his career as a lyricist and offers a pearl: "I really loved the process of writing as much as I did the songs themselves. And loving the process is important, because...not every song you write turns out to be a hit." washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…
A track that Gen Xers and their kids can agree to love, or at least listen to together: Lorde’s hilariously dirge-like Replacements cover, which turns a wistful ode to misfitness into a brooding midnight drama. #dailysong youtu.be/1wavwT7paPs
This capacious Schubert chamber piece ranges wider and goes deeper than many a symphony. I grew up on the Heifetz/Piatigorsky version but this one, with the Emerson Quartet and Rostropovich, is unsurprisingly excellent as well. #dailyalbum open.spotify.com/album/0tRo5sjd…
Justin Chang has big shoes to fill at The New Yorker, but so far so good. This review is a delight pocket.co/x9kqbZ?utm_sou…
I’d say the secret to Bonnie Raitt’s greatness, and one reason she’s too often taken for granted, is her effortless intimacy. From the start, on her 1971 debut record, she sounds like she’s singing directly to you—lucky you. #dailyalbum open.spotify.com/album/4gjY9JfO…
I would nominate this Rihanna/Tame Impala tune for the Heart-Lifting Bridge Hall of Fame (kicks in at 3:04 in both versions). Bonus for the way its major-key good vibes simply evaporate into mist and the forbidding C-minor vamp sneaks back in. #dailysong youtu.be/x57ZM02NhF0
A ripping read
Simon & Garfunkel’s 1964 debut flopped at the time, but when I discovered it, about 20 years later, it was a treasure trove, a Rosetta Stone, not least because it panned the vocals (Art left, Paul right) for easy learning of their harmonies. #dailyalbum open.spotify.com/album/5pnJrocL…
Elvis Costello’s record with the Swedish mezzo Anne Sofie von Otter is a mixed bag, but one of its high points is this unlikely but perfect Tom Waits/Paul McCartney mashup of two waltzes that use detritus as a metaphor for loss/letting go. #dailysong open.spotify.com/track/5INJb046…

Inventing oppression to protect Biden from criticism will get you nothing but the oppression you’ve imagined.
uh.. what? If Trump were president, students planning protests would be pre-emptively arrested and detained in camps. There'd be no protests anywhere, only mandatory rallies celebrating his presidency.

BROADWAY REVIEW: Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club. Warning's fair: I don't care. Very much. timeout.com/newyork/theate…
This absolute barrage of Broadway openings: It’s basically a festival. Which somehow sounds way less insane.
So interesting to watch a play experience its own stardom.
The bitterest and bloodiest fights of the late 21st century won’t be between fascist theocrats and atheist communitarians, it will be between those who want to preserve John Donne and those who don’t care he was ever alive.
Listened to "Wouldn't It Be Nice" after a few weeks of listening to early Beach Boys records with the Jokermen boys and it felt like the auditory equivalent of seeing in color for the first time. How *that* band did *this* is unfathomable.
@RobKendt That's how I feel about a lot of interventionist productions of classics - I might really like it, but probably not for a first timer. Say, the Ostermier German Hamlet at BAM, for example.
over the past 36 hours i've become convinced that no one actually knows what theater critics do or why they do it or how much they genuinely love the art of theater and want it to thrive and I simply ask that you all just take a second and Stop Tweeting for a moment.
None of us would be in dark rooms every night if we didn't love it. But the implication that all critics want to do is kill new properties is such anti-journalism culture war social media echo chamber bullshit. Maybe the shows should just be better.

True: George Martin being sidelined/absent for the White Album is proof of how essential he was to the Beatles Also true: there are fantastic songs on it, and as a whole it has an inexplicable scary messy hypnotic power, like an O'Neill play
@wychstreet Most damning critique I ever saw on the White Album said it was the first four-person solo album.
