  2. For the theme #AWiderWorld for #JukeboxFridayNight, here's Swara-Kakali from Menuhin Meets Shankar, featuring Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar with America classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin.

    My Dad used to play this when I was young (intermixed with Zeppelin and the Stones). It's still good.

  3. “Nature alone is antique; and the oldest art, a mushroom”*…

    Every August, Telluride hosts the Telluride Mushroom Festival—an event that brings fungal science, conservation, foraging, cultivation, psychedelic research, art, and community together in the Colorado mountains. Tamara MC reports…

    … Nestled in the Colorado mountains, Telluride has long been a town of festivals: Bluegrass, Film, Mountainfilm, and Jazz. But for more than four decades, the Telluride Mushroom Festival has carved out its own niche as the largest gathering of its kind in North America.

    The festival began as the Aspen Mushroom Conference before moving to Telluride in 1981. Its early circle included Dr. Emanuel “Manny” Salzman, a Denver radiologist and one of its founders, and his wife, Joanne Salzman, along with Gary Lincoff, author of The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms; Dr. Andrew Weil, the integrative medicine pioneer; Paul Stamets, the mycologist and entrepreneur who founded Fungi Perfecti; and Goodtimes himself. Furci credits Goodtimes with helping bring the gathering from Aspen to Telluride. Today, the festival operates as a program of the Telluride Institute.

    What began as a relatively intimate gathering focused on psychedelics and fungal science has grown considerably. More than 700 people attended in 2019; by 2025, [Guiliana] Furci [here] says, attendance had reached about 1,500. The growth accelerated in the pandemic years, when mushroom foraging and other outdoor pursuits drew new interest, part of what Furci calls “the mushroom hype.” Roughly 70 percent of recent attendees, she says, were experiencing the festival for the first time. Yet despite the influx of newcomers, the gathering retains what Furci describes as a “tribe or family feeling,” with regulars returning year after year and considering one another family…

    …

    … Without fungi, everyday life would look radically different: no beer, wine, chocolate, coffee, or bread. No penicillin. Fungi decompose organic matter and return nutrients to ecosystems, while fungal partnerships with plants helped make life on land possible and remain essential to much of terrestrial plant life.

    “They are a life form that is different than plants and animals,” Furci explains. “They are neither plant nor animal nor bacteria. They can live on land, in the air, in water, both oceans and fresh waters.”

    The fungal kingdom is astonishingly diverse, encompassing yeasts, molds, and mushroom-forming fungi, including everything from morels and chanterelles to conks and puffballs. Fungi also form the structural basis of lichens. When Furci mentions that morels and chanterelles are both fungi, she quickly puts the distance between them in perspective: “They are as closely related as a whale and a flea.”

    Both whales and fleas belong to the animal kingdom, she notes, yet occupy profoundly different branches of it. The same is true within the fungal kingdom. “There are more ways to be a fungus than there are ways to be an animal,” Furci says.

    Some of those differences challenge familiar ideas about reproduction. Schizophyllum commune, a widespread wood-decaying fungus, has more than 23,000 mating types—a genetic system far removed from a simple male-female binary.

    Are fungi gendered? “No,” Furci says flatly. But she cannot bring herself to call them “it,” either. “They’re definitely not things, so I can’t talk about them as things. And they definitely don’t have a he vibe.”

    For Furci, the problem is partly one of language. Calling a living organism “it” can reduce it to an object, while “he” or “she” imposes a gender fungi do not have. That attention to words extends well beyond pronouns.

    Furci is one of the driving forces behind the “3F proposal”: Fauna, Flora, and Funga. For generations, “flora and fauna” has served as shorthand for the living world while leaving fungi linguistically—and often institutionally—out of the picture. In 2018, Furci and mycologists Francisco Kuhar, Elisandro Ricardo Drechsler-Santos, and Donald Pfister published a paper formally delimiting “funga” as the fungal equivalent of fauna and flora: the diversity of fungi within a particular place or region.

    The idea has traveled far beyond the original paper. The Fauna Flora Funga Initiative now counts more than 2,500 signatories across 77 countries and documents adoption or use of mycologically inclusive language by conservation groups, universities, museums, and government agencies around the world. In 2021, the IUCN Species Survival Commission and Re:wild formally embraced the three-F framework, calling for fungi to be recognized alongside fauna and flora in conservation language…

    Still, we’d do well to remember (Sir) Terry Pratchett‘s wise reminder: “All Fungi are edible. Some fungi are only edible once.”

    As we celebrate shrooms, we might recall that it was on this date in 1965, on their second day off during their tour of North America, that The Beatles rented a house owned by Zsa Zsa Gabor in Beverly Hills. There, they were visited by Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds as well as English actress Eleanor Bron, who’d appeared in their film, Help. While young girls stood outside the gates, John Lennon and George Harrison had their second experience with LSD, and Ringo his first. (Paul did not partake.) It was here that McGuinn introduced Harrison to Indian music, particularly that of Ravi Shankar.

    Actor Peter Fonda was also present, and helped comfort Harrison as he grew unsettled after taking LSD and thought he was dying. According to Fonda, Lennon overheard him saying to George, “I know what it’s like to be dead,” recalling a childhood incident in which his heart stopped beating several times due to blood loss after accidentally shooting himself in the stomach. Lennon then told Fonda “You’re making me feel like I’ve never been born,” words that were later included in the Revolver track “She Said She Said.”

  4. Indian classical music reminds me that not every musical idea needs to hurry.

    A phrase can unfold slowly, circle back, change shape and still hold attention.

    Sometimes patience is part of listening.

  5. Indian classical music reminds me how strange our obsession with fixed song lengths is.

    A musical idea can take time to unfold. Not everything needs to prove itself in the first 20 seconds.

  8. The artist, Sutej Singh, calls his music #ProgressiveRock - idk, I’d call it Indian metal, or something close. HIs guitar playing is ‘atmospheric’ that’s for sure. And I love his dancers and his vocalist. My amateur ethnomusicology hobby takes me far-and-wide, exploring and discovering all kinds of interesting #WorldMusic. It’s taken a while, but I’ve developed and ear for Asian & Middle Eastern scales and instruments. When it comes to #IndianMusic, I enjoy Carnatic violin (Dr. L. Subramanium), Delhi slide guitar (V.M. Bhatt), & a variety of more modern acts, like Colonial Cousins, Jonita Gandhi, and anything by A.R. Rahman. India has recently produced a # of young rock virtuosos like Mohini Dey on bass and Rhythm Shaw on guitar. But this #MusicVideo features Sutej Singh, a Sikh man, and his soaring electric guitar. #music #RockMusic

  9. My followers (and those who’ve checked my bio) know that #Music and #Ethnomusicology are priority pastimes, hobbies of mine. My YouTube channel has over 3,500 music videos saved in 19 playlists that reflect my diverse interests. I like to track virtuoso instrumentalists and groups that may be flying under the horizon. I’m taken with the guitar virtuosity of Antoine Boyer and Matteo Mancuso, for example. Both vying, imo, for the title of world’s best living guitarist. I’ve also just discovered Indian composer and ‘progressive rock’ guitarist Sutej Singh - a real atmospheric electric guitarist who can start slow and sweet, and finish with an almost metal flourish. Most of what he plays are his own compositions - a big plus for me. Have a listen, see what you think. #guitar #ElectricGuitar #MusicVideo #IndianMusic #SutejSingh

  22. Today is the day:

    Anoushka Shankar, Ravi Shankar's daughter and sitar master as well, will perform for the first time in Chile. My father (80 years old) saw Ravi in 1973 in a sold out Theater in Santiago. He told me that a lot of people smoked weed during the show that night: The venue was full of smoke, so, Ravi said to the crowd in the middle of his performance: "stop smoking please or I'm leaving" 🤣
    Today I go to this show with my wife and my dad, as a gift for him; a tribute to his musical history and the direct influence he had on me to finally become a professional musician; on my love for music, and my interest in new fascinating sounds from all over the world.

    I'm quite excited! Go!

My dad told me the venue was full of smoke so Ravi said to the crowd in the middle of the show: "stop smoking please or ill'get out of here" 🤣 tomorrow I'll go to this show with my wife and my dad, as a gift for him, and a tribute for his musical history.. after all, he is responsible for my love of music and my transformation into a professional musician. Here is a column about her and her first visit to Chile, among other issues! I'm quite excited! Go!

  26. Not short but really interesting read on Annapurna Devi - whom I had only heard snippets about (always reverentially and always how wronged & marginalized she was).
    Ravi Shankar got a lot of fame & accolades, and is well known, I hope you take a moment to learn about his wife (& guru Allaudin Khan's daughter) - Annapurna Devi and her musical brilliance.

    So wish there were recordings of her playing - and even the sole one was accessible.

  29. 2/🧵Another virtuoso Indian #SlideGuitar master Pandit Debashish Bhattacharaya. Everyone these days is aware of Sitar players, like Anushka Shankar; but not a lot of #WorldMusic fans have heard the two greatest Indian slide players.

  30. There’s more to slide guitar than Jerry Douglas (tho I do love Jerry, especially when he plays with Alison Krauss). #India has produced many virtuoso slide players, including Pandit V.M. Bhatt. This is classical Indian music, so it may not be for everyone’s ears. #Music #SlideGuitar #guitar #IndianMusic #WorldMusic

  31. This gorgeous condition 10-inch record is for sale for €2 in the oldest monastery brewery in the world, at Weltenburg on the Danube in Bavaria.

    The record seems super rare. I couldn't bring it with me on the bike in 30°C heat, nor could I find some cardboard to pack it in to send it home directly from the monastery. I could've bought stamps there and guessed the postal cost. I even measured the width of the mouth of the post box in the monastery cloister - it was wide enough for a ten-inch record! But the bins were empty and none of the staff would help me. They were all busy selling beer or other religious paraphernalia.

    Anyone got any tips for tracking this down?
