55 Acts of Kindness (early edition)
Welcome! Big thanks to everyone celebrating what would have been Steve's 55th birthday on Nov. 4! If you'd like to join in, you can click here for a note to leave behind with your #DammKind act.
***
From the Bapat family in Frisco:
Thank you for sharing this tradition with us ❤️ In honor of Steve, we will be donating 55 snack packs to Frisco Fastpacs for their meal kits.
***
From Jill in Frisco:
I had fun putting hand soaps in several of the school bathrooms as an act of kindness this year! I love all you do to keep Steve's memory alive!
***
From Marvin in Frisco:
Last Sunday, a single parent came into the barbershop and asked how much it was to pay for a haircut for her two young boys. The boys looked to be 8 years old. The mom had a sense of urgency because the young boy had glue stuck in his hair. The barber informed her of the price, and she said she did not have it and would try to find it and come back next week. I went out and told the mom I would pay for the haircuts, and she cried.
***
From Kristen in Frisco:
I folded Tuttle's clean towels.
I created a click sheet for my K-12 art colleagues.
=) Thank you for inspiring so many people to show kindness to others!

I watched Terry Gilliam’s Brazil (1985) today. It’s a dystopian black comedy film inspired by 1984, about Sam Lowry, a low-ranking bureaucrat who frequently fantasizes about being a winged hero trying to rescue a beautiful damsel from peril as a means of escaping his boring life in a totalitarian society. After a typo in the Ministry results in the arrest and death of cobbler Archibald Buttle rather than suspected terrorist Archibald Tuttle, Sam discovers the mistake when his department in the ministry is sent a refund check after the wrong account is debited for the arrest of Buttle. Sam travels to the slum where Buttle’s widow lives and gives her the check, trying to get her to sign some papers absolving his department of wrongdoing, but she tears them up and breaks down over her husband’s death. Through the hole in the ceiling the SWAT team needlessly cut during the arrest Sam spots Jill Layton, a beautiful truck driver who’s been hounding the ministry for information on Archibald Buttle, campaigning against his wrongful arrest to the Ministry, which has now marked her out as a suspected terrorist and accomplice of Archibald Tuttle for it. Jill looks just like the woman in Sam’s dream, and he falls instantly in love with her, and searches her out, trying to warn her of her danger and embarking on a quest to save her from arrest and deletion from the government, unknowingly dooming them both in the process.
It’s called a black comedy, and the opening is certainly black comedy material, but most of the humor throughout the film is actually satirical, not black humor, and the film would better be called a tragicomedy, not a black comedy. The film is filled with absurd bureaucracy and red tape procedures which are trusted infallibly yet which frequently fail, evil and compassionless people who use the system to their advantage and good people who are punished for trying to help themselves out of problems within the system.
It’s a good film, but the ending is very bleak, and I know that’s the point but I still didn’t like it. Jill dies in the end, off-screen, or at least Sam is told that she died resisting arrest, after which he goes mad and gets lost in his fantasy world permanently, implied after being tortured. I thought a more fitting end would be his efforts to save her paying off, and his paying the price for it thus being worth it. I wouldn't recommend the film if you're a sensitive viewer.

Can't Miss Acts From the Americanafest 2021 Lineup
After missing 2020 due to COVID-19, The Americana Music Festival and Conference, or Americanafest as it's known to fans, is back for 2021 and had dropped the initial lineup of 165 of an expected 240 acts scheduled to play the festival, held Sept. 22-25 in venues throughout Nashville. While the number of days the festival is held may have shortened they haven't skimped on the quality of acts at all. In fact, the quality of the initial lineup plus the shortened number of days likely means a lot of lineup conflicts for attendees.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Every year one of my top 2-3 favorite acts has been someone playing before the band I was there to see. In previous years, Americanafest fans have gotten to see Sturgill Simpson play at the tiny Basement, Yola in the back yard of a record store, and a newly sober and reinvigorated Jason Isbell along with Amanda Shires sitting in with numerous artists. So who should you see this year? Whether it's discovery, rising stars, or legends you want, Americanafest has you covered. Here are some of my recommendations.
Christone “Kingfish” Ingram
To call Kingfish a “rising star” at this point seems reductive considering how far the 22 year old has come in just the last few years, but there is nothing to make me think he's done rising. If you like BB King, Robert Johnson, or Buddy Guy, you're going to want to make sure you're at Kingfish's set. This is the future of the blues.
Emma Swift
You'd think a festival called “Americanafest” would be a pretty nationalist affair, but there you'd be wrong. The festival has always played host to artists from across the world, with extra large contingents from England and Australia (where, because they have good sense to ignore that mess on American radio, they just call it “country music”). An Aussie artist who has become an Americanafest mainstay is Emma Swift. After power pop icon Robyn Hitchcock championed her on social media, Swift capitalized on her bigger audience in 2020 with Blonde on the Tracks, an album of Bob Dylan covers featuring Hitchcock on guitar.
Allison Russell
This is my bet for the Americanafest artist who takes the biggest leap forward in the next year. Already an Americanafest veteran with Birds of Chicago and Our Native Daughters, Russell released her solo debut Outside Child in May and it's already making appearance in mid-year “favorites” lists, including my own. Miss her Americanafest show at your own risk. By next year, she may be out of the clubs and into The Ryman.
Jason Ringenberg
If you want to start a vigorous conversation with a group of strangers at Americanafest, just start talking about where Americana came from. While its influences are as wide as the genre itself, I have long maintained that the core “put the genres in a blender” essence was birthed in Nashville's '80s rock scene and nobody exemplifies that scene more than Jason Ringenberg who was the twangy rhinestoned Nashville anchor to Warner Hodges' screaming rock guitars in Jason & the Scorchers. Now a solo artist, Ringenberg has retained that country meets rock meets punk soul that made him so popular then. If you want the most entertaining Americana history lesson you'll ever get, don't miss this show.
Kiefer Sutherland
Yes, THAT Kiefer Sutherland. Sutherland has released two Americana albums, 2016's Down in a Hole and 2019's Reckless & Me and yes, they're pretty damned good. At any other festival, I'd say expect a lot of “let's watch the guy from Young Guns sing” gawkers but Americanafest fans are notoriously unresponsive to (and dare one say, cranky about) gimmicks so the fact that Sutherland made his way onto the lineup is testament to the fact that he's serious about his craft.
Pine Hill Haints
If there's one band on the lineup that you can point to and say “there's Americana”, it's Pine Hill Haints. Calling their style “Alabama Ghost Music” the band are musical archaeologists, unearthing “dead” songs from across country, folk, Celtic, rockabilly, and pretty much whatever other roots-ish genre happens to have a convenient graveyard and transforming them into a kind of Southern Gothic Appalachian Psychobilly Punk... thing. And damn am I totally there. You should be too.
Jill Andrews
Fun fact (well, fun for me anyway): Jill Andrews was the first artist I ever interviewed in person after embarking on this “long strange trip” into music journalism. It was at Bonnaroo 2010 and I was already a fan from her work with The Everybodyfields. She didn't disappoint, as an interview or an entertainer later that day. I've seen her a number of times since and she just keeps getting better. Andrews is one of those artists who the majority of even roots music fans probably don't know, but those who do, REALLY do. Consider this me letting you into the secret society. Jill Andrews will blow your socks off if you let her. Let her.
Rainbow Girls
My “discovery” band in 2019 was California's Rainbow Girls. Considering they opened a bill featuring the two acts I was most anticipating that week, Yola and Molly Tuttle, making an impression at all is testament to how good they were, enough so that I mentioned them in my recap article as one of the Best Representatives of Americana's Next Generation. They're skilled instrumentalists, but goofy and awkward in an endearing way. They weave together harmonies that are airtight, but make dad jokes between songs. They are exactly the right mix of musicianship and fun that you want in a live act.
That doesn't even scratch the surface, but that's Americanafest. In 11 years of coverage, I've seen forgettable bands, but I've never seen a bad one. Check out the poster above for the full lineup and the slideshow below for some pictures from previous Americanafests. If you'd like to attend, head to Nashville Sept. 22-25 but first go here and get your tickets before they sell out!

ok. So Jill has entered this contest with a pic of Israel and the reward is $. Sorta unfair considering her celebrity status. What if you all with your network and Pickles, etc. decided to like and share one of her competitors around so Jill doesn't win the $? It would be funny. I know it would raise awareness of the weird books BUT it would be really funny. The Tuttle Twins (on fb)
I am sorry I don't have any connection to Pickles other than I follow them to get their updates. But to all our followers, feel free to like any other competitors! (Annie)

‘Impressive’ Perseid meteor shower seen over UK – BBC News
Image copyright Reuters
Image caption Meteors captured above the Jill Windmill in West Sussex early on Sunday
The Perseid meteor shower has been seen over parts of the UK, giving stargazers the opportunity to spot scores of shooting stars in the sky.
The shower was due to peak in the UK on Saturday night, in a display also visible in other parts of the world.
Stargazers took to social media to say they had seen the display, in which 100 meteors had been expected an hour.
The Perseid meteor shower occurs every July and August as the Earth passes debris from the Swift-Tuttle comet.

Report
End of Twitter post by @ChrisMasonBBC
Experts had warned that the Perseids may have been harder to see this year as the Moon was three-quarters full.
But Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna said the weather had given stargazers a good opportunity to see the meteor shower.
He said: "There were some good cloud breaks, so many areas would have had a good chance to see them during the early hours. It would have been pretty good viewing."
Robin Scagell, vice president of the Society For Popular Astronomy, added that although the intensity of the display had peaked on Saturday (12 August), the meteor shower would still be visible until 20 August.
He said: "For the next few days you could expect to see some - but decreasing numbers. So tonight will be probably the best chance of seeing them if you missed them last night."
The best place to see the meteors was under a clear sky, away from built-up areas, he said.

Press Release:
THE TOTAL VOMITORIUM
A tragicomic reenactment of the history of meta-theater from religious ritual to live-streaming, Zoom, and Twitch. The artists transition between multiple genres, genders, ages, tropes, eras, and personae, with Felix Bernstein playing Onkos, the Greek mask of tragedy, and Gabe Rubin playing multiple versions of Eros. They play-through arcane and new modes of performance documentation from Classical diagrams to Victorian photo journals, as well as the parallel domestication of Eros into Cupid. The vomitorium is traced from its origin as a passageway in amphitheaters to the current socially reflexive architecture built for Instagram selfie-stories—comparing the way audiences watch each other watching each other binging and purging media. The impossible wish for a 360-degree perspective is shown to mark both panoptic social media and counter-surveillance tactics; normative and queer gazes. Played on four unconnected screens, Vomitorium is inlaid by Baroque frames—juxtaposing maximalist convolution with the fashionable metaphysics of presence and transparency. Virtually real versions of Vomitorium will be simultaneously made available on the new media app Ortvi.
WORKS
Betwitched (1-channel video; 1 hr.) A stopwatch tracing the stages of grieving attention spans from immersion to alienation to fake depth to deepfakes to Twitching and Zooming—charting the relative degrees of distance and closeness that each platform incentivizes as a method of providing control and relief.
Vomitorium 360° (4-channel video; 3-hr. and 360-video; 1 hr.) Virtual documentation and instant replay of Vomitorium as presented at The Kitchen’s Queenslab space in Ridgewood, NY, in March 2020.
Vomitorium 720° (4-channel video; 7 hrs.) A re-doubly-bound version of Vomitorium, offers a totalizing backstory for Eros and re-members the trajectory of branded artifact distribution from the scarcity of the Disney Vault to the surplus of Disney Streaming. Premieres on Ortvi and at Luma on July 10.
CHARACTERS
Onkos (ὄγκος): Named after the tumorous masks of Greek tragedy, Onkos narrates and annotates performance documentation in a degenerative vicious circle that constantly re-views and revues until preview precedes essence.
Eros (ἔρος) & Anteros (ἀντέρως): Rival cherubic mimes in the Stade du Miroir engage in a mimetic rivalry between vice and virtue; cruelty and tenderness.
Eris (Ἔρις,) & Harmonia (Ἁρμονία): Commentating influencers/muses, who guide Onkos in a debate between theater-y immersion and theatrical alienation.
Anti-Eros (ᾰ̓ντ’-ἔρος): Dark angel who replaces reflexive counter-gazing as the locus of subjectivity with Ejectivity—a vacant, automated watching towards death.
SUMMARY
Eris and Harmonia lead Onkos through a memory palace made up of broken automated tropes from the history of metatheatre, as he attempts to cease looping through the stages of grief.
Eris and Harmonia teasingly reveal stage sets and show off their stagecraft to Onkos in an adaptation of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s The Impresario.
Onkos leads Eris and Harmonia in a symposium on the splitting and unifying of Eros—from the ancient mythology of brothers Eros and Anteros to Giovanni Baglione’s moralistic splitting of Profane and Sacred Eros as a rebuke to Caravaggio’s Amor Vincit Omnia. Harmonia and Eris then debate various ways of representing queerness and attaining Metaxy (the in-betweenness of Eros). Finally, they trace the shift from hoarding to streaming art, and how this process has always already administered, totalized, and automated by the church and state via the Baroque economy of emblems, collections, and indulgences. And after that, they review the reviews of movie version of the musical Cats.
Eros and Anteros stage impromptu interludes from Theocritus and Ben Jonson to Edna St. Vincent Millay and Heiner Müller.
Anti-Eros delivers Onkos to an ejection of all forms of gazing and reflecting but Onkos re-lapses by binging (and purging) on the sight of yet another Caravaggisti angel.
