A playlist of Velvet Underground and Lou Reed covers
•••
Some artists you've heard of, some you haven't. It all comes down to Lou Reeds genius songwriting. (Suggestions welcome)

Brice Marden: I Am Plane Image (New York, 2026)
•••
I was so very happy to see this show today. These paintings seem pretty straight forward, but really they are deep and moving.

Knight Rider for 8 cellos
•••
I never watched Knight Rider and certainly didn't know the theme song, but heard this on the car radio (thank you WFMU!) and had to hear it again! I'm a little disappointed that it's video only because it would definitely go in a playlist.

Gone Girl
•••
I was at the beach and wanted a page turner, so I turned to the NY Times list of 50 best thrillers of the 21st century. Did not disappoint.

Elvis Costello's First Three Albums
•••
Punky, poppy and literate- My Aim Is True, This Year's Model and Armed Forces are all great records and I would even make the case for Get Happy!! Later he went out of his way to diss Linda Rondtadt when she covered some of his tunes- I guess he was still trying to maintain his punk credentials. Nevertheless, an amazing run of albums and I think he did eventually apologize to the Queen of LA

Águas De Março

March, April- I’m not really sure when Taurus begins or ends but I like this song and it sounds appropriate. I also like the Art Garfunkel version

Ornette Coleman: Intro to Harmolodics
•••
Contrary to what one might assume about him based on his music, Ornette Coleman was a remarkably sweet and gentle presence in the world. If you've ever wondered what he meant by "Harmolodics" you'll get an answer in this short doc directed by Mike Mills. And if you've never heard of Ornette Coleman or Harmolodics it's still worth watching.

Walter De Maria, The Broken Kilometer
•••
I feel like people talk about Walter De Maria's Earth Room, while the Broken Kilometer, which is just around the corner, is hardly ever mentioned. Scale, order, perception, time. It’s just 500 brass rods on the floor, but I found it to be mesmerizing and moving. #NYC

This Is The Modern World with Trouble on WFMU
•••
My go-to every Thursday Morning 9-12. This show really does defy categories; you might hear Nina Simone or Alice Coltrane and then you’re deep in drones, ragas, Terry Riley, Francis Hardy, contemporary classical, Brazilian tunes and sounds from all over the musical universe. Most of it I have never heard before- who needs any more indie rock?!? (Unless it's Geese, of course). I have an incredible playlist of beautiful music I that I first heard on this show. And if you can't tune-in WFMU archives everything!

The Best of The Band
•••
If you were to ask me “Do you like The Band?” I would say, “Fuck, yeah!” But the truth is that I don’t know many of their songs that are not on this record. This collection is so great- these songs are like short stories that reveal themselves again and again upon every listen. As many times as I’ve heard The Weight I have never once thought about skipping it.

It's languid and suspenseful, has a terrific lead actor and looks amazing. Might be favorite movie of 2025.

Billy Preston, That's The Way God Planned It
•••
The music doc I didn't know I needed to see! Some of the music and performances are so great and joyous that my soul was stirred. I knew virtually nothing about Billy Preston's life or music and would have never gone to this if I hadn't been invited- I'm so glad to have seen it. He's incredible!

Conversation with Amy Sillman
•••
Amy Sillman talking about drawing. She's got a lot to say, but the link goes straight to her list of drawing operations which I think is kind of mesmerizing. (If you want to watch the talk in its entirety you can skip the intros and start here).

#158 The Case of the Missing Hit
•••
I kind of feel like podcasts these days are all interviews or based on pre-existing source material. Reply All was not that. The hosts, Alex & PJ, took listeners on journey every episode. This is one of my favorites from one of the best podcasts. RIP Reply All.

William Eggleston: The Last Dyes

Great to see these in person! I didn't realize he didn't use regular photo paper, but a dye transfer process- essentially 3 color separation- until Kodak discontinued it in the '90s.
