  1. don’t lose your arrogance yet he said
    you can do that when you’re older
    lose it too soon and you may
    merely replace it with vanity

  4. Currently listening to the very interesting "Henry House" from Nate Wooley.

    natewooley.bandcamp.com/album/

    Henry House of course is a reference to John Berryman, and Wooley uses texts from Berryman, Joseph Mitchell, Wendell Berry, and a Kafka biography to tell a (fairly abstract) story.

    The music is very different from the bigger, somewhat noisier stuff of his Seven Storey Mountain -- and there's some field recordings, including crickets, against long layered clusters of droning horns. That's my kind of party.

    The Bandcamp notes are very much worth a read, with details on the compositional process behind the texts and some aspects of the music, too.
