Turn It Up
The office is practically empty, so I'm going to turn up my music and do All The Things. What are you listening to today?
Minor Details: Games of May 24
Stephen Gonsalves and two relievers throw a shutout. Kohl Stewart continues to struggle, negating two home runs by Brent Rooker. No offense for the Miracle. The Kernels lose in the ninth despite a strong game by Blayne Enlow.
May 25, 2018: The End
...of Skim's first relationship. She seems at ease, perhaps primarily because she's the one who initiated the break. She spoke constantly about this dude for a year and a half, right up until they had been together for a week or two. The girl moves on quickly. My only fear, of course, is every weird incel out there in this troubled time.
Yesterday's Cuppa was empty because Skim gave me the news as I was mid-post, in case anyone was wondering.
Orchestra Baobab – Ndéleng Ndéleng
A prolific group (established in 1970, still recording & touring) that I'm surprised hasn't been featured here before. This was recorded in late 2007.

Miguel Sano looks ready, but Willians Asutdillo out-did him. Ervin Santana does not look ready. A Miracle comeback falls short. Another big day for Jordan Gore.

Mathias Eick Quartet – Skala
I somehow had overlooked Eick until he released Midwest, a meditation on Norwegian immigration to America, in 2015. Eick's visit to the upper Midwest inspired him to create a "road" album that begins in his home village, Hem, and travels to North Dakota, carrying Norwegian cultural sensibilities into an interplay with the American landscape. It was one of my favorite albums of the year.
This tune's from his album previous to Midwest.
