“D’Angelo was a generational talent—an unusually artful singer, and an experimental and idiosyncratic songwriter.” @amandapetrusich remembers the R. & B. singer D’Angelo, who died this week at 51. https://t.co/pv1RWNt3MI

As we grow older, “loss becomes the primary condition of living,” Nick Cave says. “That doesn’t mean you’re in a hopeless, grief-stricken state all the time; it just means that you carry a deeper understanding of what it is to be human.”

Ryan Davis’s new album, “New Threats from the Soul,” is suffused with “listlessness and yearning, dark jokes and wordy disquisitions on desire,” @amandapetrusich writes.

"Wallen’s voice has an easy lilt that reminds me of someone distractedly practicing their golf swing in the sporting-goods aisle of a big box store. But here, he sounds sharp, flinty, and cold."

@amandapetrusich is the best.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Morgan Wallen has been releasing music for nine years, and most of it is “alarmingly interchangeable,” @amandapetrusich writes—much of his catalogue is “merely a statement (and restatement) of purpose: love hurts, whiskey helps.” https://t.co/NwKkkAdcAw

@The_Vole It made me laugh! Thanks so much for reading and for the kind words

[Max Abelson @maxabelson]

What a lovely piece by @amandapetrusich on Phish. Like most of the journalism (and the music?) that I'm drawn to, it goes with the flow. Reading it reminds me that practiced tightness allows for the best kind of informal looseness, if you're lucky
