Haven't read this piece yet but I'm using it as an excuse to remind/introduce you to this 80stastic song about Cézanne by The Special Guests
Who made it into the mission of this music promoter who was (is?) attempting to track down the music of old college bands and digitize them: wsj.com/articles/SB100…
Columbia! I hear I was listening to them at Carleton. That's kind of amazing, given the tech/comms of the day.

Well this is going to take me down a Regency era publication rabbit hole
He’s a jerk, but at least he’s a reader!
Ah, I forgot, he reveals himself to be not such a jerk.

We should go back to barn raising ethos. Like if a few friends showed up to help me get some household/garden chore done, I’d happily do same.

If you’ve worked out an enduring, rotating labor exchange, tell me how you arranged?
Coming out of isolation means that getting together to help somebody clear out their basement sound like a blast 😹
I think it would work like Lise's: ~4 or 5 households (do they all need to be friends already?) that rotate a designated chunk of time (~4 hrs, every second Sunday?). Person getting the labor provides food (or maybe its a potluck?) and for sure drinks.

Ted Talk-ification is officially a disease. Don't even care if this is parody. It's become a pox on society that enables or demands others become psychopathic extrovert power pointers.

That still scams investors, among others.
Like: Ted Talks are what gave us Theranos. Fight me.
Would it shock you to later learn that Ted Talks is the new Dianetics? Not me!

Also audiences of rich white people digesting the oft-practiced routines of nice scholars...idk it's just become gross.

3rd largest city in America, where the paper is being decimated (or ventimated) by Alden Capital
Chicago is: amazing, complicated, corrupt, dynamic, multi-ethnic, waxing and waning. All the things that make for great journalism.

And its main paper is being raided for parts.
Also think this is a failure of Chicago's many very wealthy people who did not step up to help buy just the Trib or all of the formerly Tribune/Tronc paper, a chance they had as recently as two months ago.

College radio, zines, MTV, alt weeklies.

and there was a great alt/punk station in DC area for a time, whose call signs escape me.
A great thing about growing up inn DC in the 80s was it was such a mix of Go-Go and New Wave and Punk, and of course pop and the gods of MTV. Maybe that was the 80s everywhere. Well, not the Go-Go.
And it was WHFS. Thanks to @liambgray for reminding me. Such a great station.
