When will the swan begin to sing?
We’re so weary of everything
And the swan on the river goes glidin' by
The swan on the river goes glidin' by

—Bob Dylan, “The Ballad of the Gliding Swan”

Rose Books can now accept *tax-deductible* donations! I was approved for fiscal sponsorship by Fractured Atlas—all funds will support book production costs.

I run this press entirely by myself because I love books and beauty :)

@TheAnnaGat Sounds like it wasn’t right for you!

@StarmanDragPath @danceyrselfdean Nah. The cavernous reverb on Second Album gives those rock and roll cuts a different kind of power - not better than the UK, but different and sometimes more exciting than the very dry UK mixes.

@xlorentzen Especially given that it was Lang and Thea von Harbou who invented the moon-launch countdown, for 1929’s Frau in Mond, forty years before Apollo 11.

@chaykak It wasn’t criticism.
It wasn’t a book report.
It was something different—
familiar yet nearly empty,
like a carton of expired milk.

I am under the impression that this song and “Mr. Blue Sky” are the same thing and don’t you ever play me either one

From our screen to yours
Through a zillion satellite dishes

Iced coffee is fundamentally antithetical to New York City.

New York City as New York City doesn’t actually function properly unless you can drink a hot coffee comfortably on the sidewalk, in the subway, at your desk, etc etc

Some of the longest words that can be written using musical notation include acceded, baggage, defaced, and feedbag. If you sub H for B, you could add headache, beachhead, eggheaded, and deadheaded to the list. Rumor has it the longest word ever scored is cabbage-faced.

@missannabiller Ahhh I have been waiting so patiently

@godlightgrace Heard this very sound on Court Street in Brooklyn as I walked to the F train that morning.

The same cluster of people constantly telling us we may soon live forever but also all be dead, we’re on the cusp of untold riches but also will have no jobs, the best is yet to come but also this is your last chance to grab resources, is a form of collective psychological abuse.

@MollyJongFast Somebody should tell him it’s pronounced “dumb-best.” Then watch him riff on it. “Isn’t that something. Dumb, best! A very smart person told me that. Sometimes if you think it’s dumb, it’s not dumb at all, it’s the best, and I mean best like no one’s ever seen”
