I woke up this morning and was drawn to play Julio Jaramillo’s Ódiame before I even got out of bed. listening to such casually devastating lyrics woke me up more than coffee would have lol

wonderful little jazz piece - beautiful guitar solo that glides into an addictive cacophony of percussion and vocals. peppy enough for a walk and pretty enough for some seated thought.

It makes me feel so powerful. The way it builds. I love the story it tells

I had a card in California and getting a new one was one of the first things I did when moving to New York. And now I’m using it to see Eartheater play at the MoMA this week for FREE ! it’s good for much more than just books !!!!
I am still shocked when I find out that friends who’ve lived here for months/years still don’t have one or have never had one before in general. Did I mention it’s free ???

Didion and Baez. Admittedly, I’ve unhealthily attached myself to them because of the things we have in common (Didion living in LA and Sacramento, Baez being Mexican and going to BU) which has made me even more obsessed than I would have been otherwise. But they’re so good !!!
I feel like everyone’s first introduction to Didion is her memoir The Year of Magical Thinking (me included), but after that move on to her collection of essays Slouching towards Bethlehem. There’s an essay about Joan Baez in there (🤠) and if you grew up in California the book will make you feel extra cool.
& listen to the album Baez sings Dylan, where she covers all Bob Dylan songs, obviously. Bob’s an amazing lyricist but an awful singer lol. Joan does it undeniably better. But my very favorite song of hers is “silver dagger.” So beautiful and eerie and she was only 19 when she sang it.
