  1. I had this odd realization during my post-writers group smoke break today.

    I think I – as well as my system as a whole – approach making art the same way that jazz musicians play music. I was thinking about this because the piece I ended up writing today in group pulled heavily from “My Island” and yet putting an entirely different spin on it, and it got me thinking about all of the different times that I’ve done that while making music especially.

    And honestly, if I had to sum up my approach to just about everything in life, I would say that I approach most of my crafts like a jazz musician even though I don’t technically play jazz. I don’t believe in just one final product or making a recording or a piece the be all, end all. A single song can inspire me for over ten years and I’ll keep coming back to it lyrically, musically, poetically, even, in a sort of self-referential game of call and response, making something new with each iteration and reexamination.

    In the process, I’m building a recursive universe the longer I make content and art.

    I fucking love jazz.

  9. Today I discovered that there is a 1980s Greydon Clark movie, starring Joe Don Baker [1], which has not been riffed by RiffTrax (or MST3K, or Cinematic Titanic), and I'm frankly shocked.

    If it's not one of the four new episodes of MST3K the RiffTrax guys are doing, I'm going to be some disappointed.

    [1] The same #cinematic pairing that resulted in Final Justice (1985), A.K.A. "Mitchell Goes to Malta", some of the finest #cheese ever #riffed.

  17. "Sunshine of Your Love" is a 1967 song by the British rock band #Cream. With elements of #hardRock and #psychedelia, it is one of Cream's best known and most popular songs. Cream bassist/vocalist #JackBruce based it on a distinctive bass #riff he developed "almost in a fit of desperation" after working unsuccessfully all night on creating a song with his writing partner, lyricist #PeteBrown who muttered "It's getting near dawn and lights close their tired eyes".
