Happy Holidays!

...and remember to listen to those ghosts.

I feel like this holiday season, it's important to remind people of the true meaning of christmas: ghosts terrorizing rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more

It Already Happened Here

See the short documentary hosted by the Atlantic about the German American Bund rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939. Notice the image of George Washington flanked by swastikas as the backdrop on the stage.

Lest we forget, both Henry Ford and Henry Luce (the founder of Time and Life) were both great fans of Hitler in the 30s.

Go with the Flow

This afternoon's soundtrack is jazz inflected j-pop from School Food Punishment. Yet another group (like The Housemartins) I found out about after they broke up. I may be counting it wrong, but I think that parts of "Flow" are in 5.

Prelude No. 2, Kjell Marcussen

What I'm listening to today:


Score for this and the other eleven preludes in the set is here.
