"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

↳ Song: "don" by "dirty"
"Dirty Don's Bargain Center! The World's Largest Collection of ABBA Seven Inches!" is how they advertise it in the paper. Following the tax records, it's clear that the company has been in operation at this location for decades. Various shell companies have taken over the business every few years when things change hands, but only on paper. No one has been seen going in or out since 1985. Peering in through the single window, it's a large warehouse filled with boxes. A single desk with a steel chair sits near the door. A paper sign taped to the inside of the door reads "Be back at noon, went dancing/walking/maybe get some cocaine."

Hey folks, JA.
Up on the roof doing some yoga, listening on a portable Bose speaker. And I’m hearing these little percussive taps that seem like some syncopated stuff going on over the intro. But then as it shifted while getting louder the spell was broken and realized it was the construction going on on the next block over behind.
Started thinking JA had taken to tapping out some rhythms over the classic dark Don Henley-esque groove…

Sadly, Dirty Don's is permanently closed. But there are a lot of glowing reviews online, like this one:
"Expired is one thing, I don't mind it. This place, however, has too many items that expired 4-5 years ago. Items were dirty - they live up to their name, many smelled musty, some sauces had grown chunks, and some items had mold. This Is by far the worst salvage grocery we've been in"

"After firefighters were on scene for a few minutes, smoke was detected in a separate building on the property, the main brick retail building that faces 56th Street.

That fire was controlled by the sprinkler system, but it also raised suspicion as it does anytime there are multiple fires in multiple buildings on the same property.

Zinn The Mood:

↳ Yetz @9:31
That entire article was not more than 50 total words, unless I’m missing something. Lots of local news outlets barely even offering stories anymore.

Both because of the purposeful collapse of newspapers with their deep roster of costly reporters, and the social media-induced clickbait headlines that serve as stories “having read” by terminal scrollers who probably whizz by tens of thousands of pieces of discreet information everyday.

Which of course jettisons any hope for a connection to empathy.

One of the shorter books is on the illusion of humor in Friends, extracting quite a bit of insight from the ritual of laughing along with a laugh track regardless of the situation or dialogue presented. I didn't know that the entire season 3 of Friends was written without a single actual joke in the script, instead doubling the number of pauses for laugh tracks--yet focus groups rated the season significantly funnier than previous seasons. Fascinating.

Could be!

Although it seems so much of reportage these days (or maybe more specifically in a corporate commercial capacity) intentionally avoids bringing in any human element. Cold facts and stats. Philip Roth had a great quote about not being able to glean much of the real drama in a baseball game from just reading the box score.

A building burned, likely from arson. Do we know anything about the owner, or the town’s relationship to the place, etc? Was his uninsured wife diagnosed with cancer and unable to play the bills? Was he hopelessly depressed about relations with old friends, the political situation, a gambling bet he couldn’t pay off, an unscrupulous vendor who kept cheating him, etc?
Burning a building down takes a lot of thought, planning, coordination not to get caught. What drove him finally to come to a moment in which he decided, “yes, I’m going to light the match”?

I don’t know. Just the fact that it burned tells the reader nothing really.
And I think it’s on purpose that “the news” accustoms us to not thinking deeper and more broadly about anything anymore.
