Saturday, October 18 – Raleigh Comes Alive!
Downtown Raleigh transforms into a playground of music, mystery, and flavor this Saturday.
Kick off your afternoon with A Taste of Downtown Raleigh Food Tour (2:30pm–5:30pm), a delicious stroll through the city’s culinary gems starting at the City of Raleigh Museum. For history buffs, the Fall African American Walking Tours at the Pope House Museum (10am, 1pm, 3pm) and the Historic Oakwood Walking Tour (1:45–3:30pm) offer a fascinating glimpse into Raleigh’s rich past.
For thrill-seekers, Raleigh Walking Tours hosts three spine-tingling experiences: the Haunted History Tour (4:45–6pm), the Sip n’ Stroll Ghost Tour (7–8:15pm), and the Raleigh Zombie Walk (7pm at Moore Square) — where costumes and chills await!
On the music front, North Carolina Symphony performs Copland’s Symphony No. 3 at 8pm, followed by live sets like Money Shot with Jimmie Ray Swagger & the Fussy Eaters (9–11pm at Slim’s Downtown) and the Saturday Night DJ Showcase (8pm–midnight at Boatman Spirits Co.).
Don’t miss the Raleigh International Wine, Beer, CBD Drink & Food Festival (12–8pm on Fayetteville Street) — a celebration of craft culture and global flavors. Wrap up your evening with fresh-baked Crofton’s Pretzels at Wolfe & Porter (6pm until sold out) or the legendary Homecoming Legends Return (9pm at Anthony’s LaPiazza) for late-night vibes.
🌞 Sunday, October 19 – Brunch, Art & Music
Ease into Sunday with delicious comfort and creative inspiration.
Start your day with Half-Priced Spaghetti & Meatballs at Gravy (11am–10pm) or a mindful Pride Flow yoga session (11am–12pm at Current Wellness). Dive into movement and culture through Intuitive Movement: Inspired by the African Diaspora (10–11:30am at The Self Care Marketplace).
For family fun, explore Artspace Open Studio (1:30–3:30pm) or join the Kids Bricks & Minifigs Treasure Hunt (2–3pm). Garden lovers can craft their own Holiday Orchid arrangement (12–1pm at Copperline Plant Co.), while vintage shoppers explore the Fall Vintage Market (11am–4pm at Wolfe & Porter).
The afternoon features North Carolina Opera’s Cinderella (2pm at the Martin Marietta Center) and the F1 USA Grand Prix Watch Party (3–5pm at The Davie). Continue the history theme with the Historic Oakwood Walking Tour (1:45–3:30pm) or the Raleigh African American History Tour (4–5pm at Jimmy V’s Osteria + Bar).

Dreamville Fest Weekend Kicks Off with Vibes, Wellness & Community: Recap from Day One
Dreamville Fest weekend started off strong with a full slate of events around Raleigh, blending music, wellness, and community in the most authentic Dreamville way. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights:
Compxss Corner with Johnny Venus (John Chavis Memorial Park, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.)
This morning wellness session, led by EarthGang’s Johnny Venus, was a true reset for the soul. From yoga flows to energizing workouts and intentional self-care practices, it was a sold-out experience that left attendees glowing—both inside and out. If you made it in, you already know: this one was a blessing.
Dreamville Public Access (CAM Raleigh, 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.)
CAM Raleigh transformed into a creative hub for Dreamville Public Access. Artists, fans, and aspiring industry professionals came together for a day packed with panels, workshops, and real-talk networking. From breaking into the music scene to creating visual art that speaks, the vibes were all about building and sharing knowledge. No RSVPs, just community.
Gold Mouf Garage Block Party with Lute (South Harrington St., 1 – 8 p.m.)
Lute brought the block party energy to life on South Harrington. Free and open to all, the crowd came out heavy to support the Charlotte native. Bangers, food trucks, and a family-friendly vibe made this one a true highlight. If today was any indication, block party season is officially in full swing.
EarthGang & H.U.M.A.N.S. Giveback (John Chavis Memorial Park, 2 – 5 p.m.)
The love didn’t stop with the music. EarthGang and H.U.M.A.N.S. showed out with a community giveback event focused on wellness, support, and connection. With live music, care item giveaways, and community resources, it was a beautiful reminder that Dreamville stands for more than the stage.

Thoughts on Everything under the Sun or I am a guilty Secularist @[email protected] · 2026-01-05 · 19:05 UTC

2025 in Music
According to Soundcloud I spent most of my time listening to various shows on Afropop Worldwide, Rinse FM and Sleep’s Dopesmoker. All of which made on appearance on previous years lists. The new addition for 2025 was Jay Electronica’s “A Written Testimony” EP trilogy (?). Which is to say, compared to last year, my Soundcloud list is about the same, while a quick review of my history/timeline for a few other platforms indicates I’ve still been repping lots of Bad Bunny, KEXP, LaRussell, Tiny Desk and Western AF. What is perhaps most interesting about that is that 90% of my Soundcloud time is logged from my work-station. Illustrative of how each platform has a distinct vibe/represents a particular set of activities and their corresponding soundtrack. So John Carroll Kirby was still a top artist (Tuscany serving as a regular soundtrack for family dinners) and I listened to about the same amount of Alice Coltrane (mostly while keeping up my yoga practice) and Keith Hudson (while hanging outside/working in the yard).
Some new favorites were Eladio Carrion, Hugh Mundell, LA LOM and as already mentioned I played this track repeatedly. One growing trend is a return to alt and 90s rock (Fugazi, Nirvana et al.), mostly as a result of trying to find music all three of us (my son, wife and I) can agree on. Especially, when in the car together. As he has mostly moved on from the Raffi of a year or two ago to preferring more guitar heavy, rock-n-roll sounds.
In terms of concerts, Bitchin Baja’s and Prairiewolf at GLOB were a blast and included a bonus hang-night with a buddy visiting from West Cost. While the first night of Denver Metal & Beer Fest with my BIL was fun and the surprise for me was OKC based Chat Pile. Plus, he and I caught a couple of great sets at the 2025 Bluegrass on the Arkansas (in Salida, CO), including night one’s closer, Magoo.
While I listen primarily to digital-streaming, I did make an effort to dig into my vinyl collection more. Especially, in the second half of the year. There were also a handful of records added to the collection this year, with the best being World Psychedelic Classics 4: Nobody Can Live Forever – The Existential Soul of Tim Maia and 400% Dynamite Ska, Soul, Rocksteady, Funk and Dub in Jamaica, both gifted by friends. The former has been on heavy rotation for at least last few years so I was pumped to unexpectedly get my own copy and while I wasn’t aware of the later, it is chock full of classics! In terms of my own finds, I managed to find 1 or 2 LPs from Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson.
Otherwise, I still use an old dedicated MP3 music player for running and it’s library hasn’t been updated in some years. It a weird mix of early/mid aughts London bass and grime mixes, DatPiff downloads and stuff like Pink by Boris. I probably listen to this from Elijah & Skilliam (ft JME and Skepta) the most. For me it’s perfect running energy/vibes!
Finally, this Butthole Surfers mix has become a regular evening (usually to kickoff or end the weekend) lover the last few years and I unwind from many a weekday, with NTS Radio. In particular the Raja Vibrations show.
I really dug that Night Slugs with Scotti Dee & Spidey G set Bad Bunny tracks made 3 of my top 5 on AmazonFor a total of 152 hours but that’s just the one platform

A mon sens la question c'est le manque : "entre 7 et 9 heures par nuit" ne signifie pas "heures d'affilées" donc "nuit" serait moins important que "entre 7 et 9" mais ça reste à prouver.

Facteur crucial prédisant la longévité mieux que l'alimentation ou l'exercice : le sommeil
Santé
11 décembre 2025
Par David Nield
Selon une nouvelle étude veiller tard pourrait réduire votre espérance de vie. Cette étude établit un lien entre le manque de sommeil et une espérance de vie plus courte.
Si le mauvais sommeil a déjà été associé à de nombreux problèmes de santé et à une durée de vie plus courte cette dernière étude révèle qu'un sommeil suffisant est un facteur de longévité plus important que l'alimentation et l'exercice physique pourtant reconnus pour prolonger la vie.
Des chercheurs de l'Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) ont analysé les données d'une enquête menée à travers les États-Unis entre 2019 et 2025. L'espérance de vie a été comparée aux déclarations des participants concernant la durée de leur sommeil, un sommeil de moins de sept heures par nuit étant considéré comme insuffisant. Les chercheurs ont ensuite pris en compte d'autres variables influençant l'espérance de vie telles que la sédentarité, la situation professionnelle et le niveau d'études. Le lien entre manque de sommeil et espérance de vie réduite se confirme. Seul le tabagisme présente une corrélation plus forte. "Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que le manque de sommeil soit aussi fortement corrélé à l'espérance de vie. Nous avons toujours su que le sommeil était important, mais cette recherche le confirme : il est essentiel de dormir entre sept et neuf heures par nuit, si possible" déclare Andrew McHill, physiologiste du sommeil à l'OHSU.
[Graphique sur le sommeil : Le lien entre l'espérance de vie et le sommeil est plus fort qu'avec de nombreux autres facteurs, notamment l'alimentation et l'exercice physique. Toutefois, comme le montre ce graphique, l'activité physique et les liens sociaux influencent également l'espérance de vie. (McAuliffe et al., Sleep Adv., 2025)]
Étant purement observationnelle, cette recherche ne permet pas de prouver qu'un manque de sommeil raccourcit la vie de plusieurs mois ou années. Une étude de ce type ne permet pas non plus de démêler les interactions complexes entre le sommeil, l'alimentation et l'exercice physique. Les résultats suggèrent néanmoins que la durée du sommeil chaque nuit est un indicateur important de la santé à long terme. Un sommeil suffisant est essentiel à presque tous les aspects de notre bien-être : manquer une seule nuit de sommeil peut, par exemple, affecter les circuits cérébraux et le système immunitaire. Il n’est pas absurde de penser que de tels problèmes de santé peuvent contribuer à la mortalité à long terme. Les chercheurs soulignent notamment l’obésité et le diabète comme deux affections liées à un mauvais sommeil et susceptibles de réduire l’espérance de vie. "C’est intuitif et logique mais il est tout de même frappant de constater à quel point cela se confirme dans tous ces modèles" explique McHill.
"Bien dormir améliore non seulement votre bien-être mais aussi votre espérance de vie."
La bonne nouvelle, c’est que nos habitudes de sommeil sont, au moins en partie, modifiables compte tenu de nos obligations professionnelles et familiales. Il serait peut-être judicieux d’abandonner cette habitude de tourner sans fin dans son lit ou de s’accorder une séance de yoga ou de tai-chi de temps en temps. L'Académie Américaine de Médecine du Sommeil et la Société de Recherche sur le Sommeil recommandent toutes deux de dormir au moins sept heures par nuit même s'il existe des preuves suggérant qu'il est possible de rattraper son sommeil le week-end au besoin. "Cette étude montre que nous devons accorder autant d'importance au sommeil qu'à notre alimentation ou à notre activité physique. Une bonne nuit de sommeil améliore non seulement le bien-être, mais aussi l'espérance de vie" explique McHill.
Ces travaux de recherche ont été publiés dans la revue Sleep Advances : https://academic.oup.com/sleepadvances/advance-article/doi/10.1093/sleepadvances/zpaf090/8373869?login=false

A mon sens la question c'est le manque : "entre 7 et 9 heures par nuit" ne signifie pas "heures d'affilées" donc "nuit" serait moins important que "entre 7 et 9 heures" en tout mais ça reste à prouver.

Facteur crucial prédisant la longévité mieux que l'alimentation ou l'exercice : le sommeil
Santé
11 décembre 2025
Par David Nield
Selon une nouvelle étude veiller tard pourrait réduire votre espérance de vie. Cette étude établit un lien entre le manque de sommeil et une espérance de vie plus courte.
Si le mauvais sommeil a déjà été associé à de nombreux problèmes de santé et à une durée de vie plus courte cette dernière étude révèle qu'un sommeil suffisant est un facteur de longévité plus important que l'alimentation et l'exercice physique pourtant reconnus pour prolonger la vie.
Des chercheurs de l'Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) ont analysé les données d'une enquête menée à travers les États-Unis entre 2019 et 2025. L'espérance de vie a été comparée aux déclarations des participants concernant la durée de leur sommeil, un sommeil de moins de sept heures par nuit étant considéré comme insuffisant. Les chercheurs ont ensuite pris en compte d'autres variables influençant l'espérance de vie telles que la sédentarité, la situation professionnelle et le niveau d'études. Le lien entre manque de sommeil et espérance de vie réduite se confirme. Seul le tabagisme présente une corrélation plus forte. "Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que le manque de sommeil soit aussi fortement corrélé à l'espérance de vie. Nous avons toujours su que le sommeil était important, mais cette recherche le confirme : il est essentiel de dormir entre sept et neuf heures par nuit, si possible" déclare Andrew McHill, physiologiste du sommeil à l'OHSU.
[Graphique sur le sommeil : Le lien entre l'espérance de vie et le sommeil est plus fort qu'avec de nombreux autres facteurs, notamment l'alimentation et l'exercice physique. Toutefois, comme le montre ce graphique, l'activité physique et les liens sociaux influencent également l'espérance de vie. (McAuliffe et al., Sleep Adv., 2025)]
