Kate Liu's performance here from the Chopin comp back in 2015 continues to blow my mind. People were still talking about it in the live comments during 2021.

@JajaLiao The material is good, though it’s maddening how they cut and structure their episodic content to accommodate commercial breaks. It’s painfully obvious even on the ad free tier. You can’t unsee it…

@Shreggz Left, right, and up swipes are now taken. What future do down swipes hold?

@Therewillbbooks The Rock!! As 90s action as it gets. The script also had uncredited rewrites by Sorkin and Tarantino.

The 60s. Greatest decade and greatest temperature.

@hottakesbytony The anthology version/alternate take is even better :)

I continue to feel sorry for cut & paste, as it still plays second fiddle to copy & paste.

@Shreggz It’s a new Dan Brown novel.

@jameszimmermann A movie that shows us why we love movies. I wish I could watch it again for the first time.

[Christopher Arkin @chris_arkin]

@Shreggz I’m cautiously optimistic here. The SF Conservatory is, in a way, a quasi blend of NEC and Berklee. They’ve got classical, but also some interesting jazz, composition and electronic media work happening there. Hoping that’s the stuff the record label records and puts out.

If you needed more evidence to my claim that today’s museums are intended for people who don’t want to be in museums… look no further than the Met Gala.

@Shreggz @Der_Musikant @MenoDolce If you want hear a piece like you’ve never heard it before, and think about it in a way you’ve never thought about before, listen to GG.

One of my (many) favorite clips from Ken Burns's Jazz documentary.
