Music of Leonard Cohen, In the Time of Coronavirus

More public music sharing. This time in Canada from Martha Wainwright. (You might remember her performances from the Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man movie of 2005.) Learn more here, and listen below.

Halloween — Let Us Remember Edward Gorey

First, a NYT tribute. Then, one of my all-time, ever, favorite (a family favorite at that) albums. Music by the Tiger Lillies, inspired by the work of Edward Gorey:

“The Gorey End” chronicles the misadventures and misfortunes of the HipDeep family, and other characters. Some of the tracks include “Dreadful Domesticity”, “Gin”, “Besotted Mother”, “Learned Pig”, “Jesus on the Windshield”, “Weeping Chandelier”, “Trampled Lily”, and more.

A little more information on Amazon here and here.

The Facebook Dilemma, Afterword

Say what I might about Facebook, I must admit that I am delighted today to see this photograph of Gabrielle’s “Hurricane Girls – 2012” that I was directed to on — Facebook. Enjoy.

The Facebook Dilemma

I remember well how Facebook launched nearly 15 years ago and was a big topic of discussion for us at the ISP (Internet Service Provider) where I worked. Some of us were quick adopters. Increasingly, over the years, many of us in the ISP and web-hosting/web-building business became skeptical. (My latest semi-diatribe or admonition is here.) This week, one of the best, IMO, documentary platforms out there, PBS’ Frontline, has a two-part series on the subject. Recommended.
