@shinebox44 It was a great theatre--big loss to the community.

@ngreenizan @PeaceArchNews That used to drive me crazy!

[Bhreandáin Clugston @b_clugston]

@ethan_iverson Frederic Brown's Night of the Jaberwock is my pick for best journalism-related thriller ever. The amount of alcohol consumed by the hero is amazing!

@tedgioia @NonesuchRecords Golden Rain, the various Javanese Gamelan LPs, A Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky, Elliot Carter's String Quartets 1 & 2, Steve Reich's Pulse/Quartet

@frank_bucholtz @ty_olsen Did not know that--good thing it didn't go through.

[Bhreandáin Clugston @b_clugston]

@ty_olsen IIRC, the Ohio purchase was about BP mining that paper's digital expertise, but yeah, really bad timing, unhealthy increase to debt load and too far away from BP's base.

Small business owners are feeling squeezed by rising inflation & interest rates. Thanks to all premiers for joining together to ask the federal govt to give small businesses a chance to recover by extending CEBA loan repayments for another year. https://t.co/IsZfBpBV6J

[Dan Kelly @CFIB]

Thanks to #NDP MP @GordJohns for asking the PM for a proper 1 year extension to #CEBA loans - one that includes the retention of the $20K forgivable portion. We appreciate Gord using CFIB data to support this call. https://t.co/aIBwtUZ5UO

Hundreds of better bands, including Ohio Players, The Association and Chicago. My pick though would be classic Coltrane Quartet or any Miles Davis band between 1955 and 1975.

[Bhreandáin Clugston @b_clugston]

@darcyjamesargue Also, and a bit obscure, Vladimir Chekasin Big Band's New Vitality on Leo Records is dynamite.

[Bhreandáin Clugston @b_clugston]

@darcyjamesargue Anthony Braxton, Creative Orchestra Koln 1978; Don Ellis, Live at Monterey & Electric Bath

[Bhreandáin Clugston @b_clugston]

@dustbobgod Great hire, though.

Nice photo of the late Peter Brötzmann with Heather Leigh at Troll's Restaurant in Horseshoe Bay.

[Heather Leigh @wishimage]

I wrote a tribute to Peter Brötzmann for @thewiremagazine just published on their website alongside reflections from William Parker, Joe McPhee, Mats Gustafsson, Bill Laswell, Shoji Hano, Sven-Åke Johansson, John Corbett and Marino Pliakas

@JSpacewoman There's some amazing music on that disc.
