Recensie: The Loft – Everything Changes Everything Stays The Same ★★★★

Peter Buck, Warzone Earth, 2015 on Mississippi Records
This is the third solo album from the former R.E.M. guitarist, all on Portland OR’s Mississippi Records. Frequent Buck collaborators present here include Scott McCaughey, Kurt Bloch, and William Rieflin. Buck’s wife Chloe Johnson adds harmony vocals on “Saturday Sunday Monday” and Jeff Tweedy guests on “World Spins Around You.”
It’s a mixed bag – I love Peter Buck but sometimes think he needs an editing eye – but some great stuff.
Recorded at Type Foundry in Portland by Adam Selzer.
My copy, with the “Helicopter” cover, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR – there’s also a version with a “Car” cover.

Wilco, Cousin, 2023 on dBpm
Wilco’s 13th full length studio album, produced by Cate Le Bon, and recorded at the Loft in Chicago. The cover artwork is by Azuma Makoto – see Frozen Flowers 2023. Truly a fantastic Wilco album – if you’ve fallen off the Wilco train time to get back aboard.
My copy via Waterloo Records in Austin TX

1000 Day Album Challenge (#89) Manu Dibango: Soul Makossa (1973) [29.03.24]
mama ko mama sa maka makossa / mama ko mama sa maka makossa
mama ko mama sa maka makossa…I believe this record entered my life during my late thirties or early forties. I felt like I remembered the song from when I was a kid, but that memory seemed too fleeting to be certain that it was genuine. if I heard it I certainly didn’t recall that the artist was Manu Dibango, a saxophonist from Cameroon.
Soul Makossa is one of the most important records in the development of disco and dance culture. it was the first record to break in the clubs and then become a Top 40 hit. it reached #35 on the Billboard charts. it was unearthed by the legendary David Mancuso, who discovered it in a small record store in a West Indian neighborhood in Brooklyn. it became a staple at his party, The Loft, and was subsequently played by the Chief Rocker, Frankie Crocker on WBLS.
subsequent generations might recognize it because of Michael Jackson interpolating the soul makossa chant within Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ featured on Thriller. that section was then sampled by Rihanna in Don’t Stop the Music. it has gone onto be sampled dozens of times.
New Bell is the other can’t miss track here. I don’t mean to be dismissive to say that it follows the same formula as Soul Makossa. when a formula works it worlds. New Bell has a driving rhythm with some fantastic sax played over the top of it. for a dancefloor it should be like honey to a bee.

Just a heads up that this Saturday, I'm* teaching an inexpensive online class on how to navigate "revise and resubmit" agent rejections. The goal is to share strategies for revisions that go deep enough to get the right agent to commit to representing your novel. Link to more info + registration here:
https://loft.org/classes/troubleshooting-revise-and-resubmit-rejection
* = indie editor of 20 years, novelist with a Big Five press, good at this.

DarkStarGraver – Live At The Loft [Video]
South Coast artist DarkStarGraver drops the video for one of the performances from Ports Fest. In this set coming live from The Loft he drops three or four tracks which demonstrate his versatility and originality.

I may or may not have come up with this class after a conversation here.
The Magical Object In Fiction: Objects can be props, but they can also accumulate greater meaning. We'll start with the functional objects already in most stories & turn them into reflections of character, conduits for intimacy, motifs, & powerful metaphors—creating dimension, complexity, & resonance in our stories.
7/12 - 8/22 Online & Asynchronous

I wrote about a story from Farah Ali's The People Want to Live and the way a simple description can come to life through the layering of seeming contradiction.

I'm also going to be teaching a remote & asynchronous class on voice & perspective.
We'll examine a variety of narration techniques and the opportunities & challenges of each.
Topics include: POV, filtering, personality, sensibility, reliability, secrets & mystery, omniscience, tense, narrative distance, curation of objects, narrative strategy, & some other strange stuff
Starts Mar. 15

This time I wrote about Paul Yoon's SNOW HUNTERS and how a passage that layers contradictory emotions can get us to _feel_ in an amazing way, creating an experience beyond what can be articulated.

Since we've all been talking about how to find and develop interesting characters, I feel like sharing an old craft post about a fun way to think about describing them.
It's about Silvia Moreno-Garcia's (amazing!) CERTAIN DARK THINGS and physical description that is really alive and thrilling.

I wrote this a while back about MONGRELS (by Stephen Graham Jones) and the sense of wonder, which is something I'm absurdly fascinated by.
How do we create--and hold!--such a fleeting sensation? I love thinking about it.
And I'd love to learn your ideas about other ways to play with it.

This time I wrote about Megan Gidding's The Women Could Fly and a moment that is small but truly thrilling. It's about subtext and landscape and a weirding of the way energy flows within a passage.
Also, the book is magnificent.
