We spend a great deal of time lamenting the role that specific platforms and pieces of software play in sowing discord in society—I certainly have—but it’s worth widening the lens in order to examine the hardware that houses nearly all of it. For it is the presence of powerful computers in our pockets, much more than any one platform or app, that sets the tone for our society. We are everywhere connected, and yet we are unable to connect. As our phones become ever more ubiquitous in the daily business of our lives—helping us to buy plane tickets, post selfies, order tacos and town cars, or to dash off emails and text messages to friends and colleagues—the ease with which we complete each task reinforces the fiction that efficiency and convenience have intrinsic value. That fiction, in turn, gives weight to the belief that the smartphone is an indispensable appendage for each of us. Technology companies depend on our embrace of this myth, for a loss of faith would signal an existential threat to the devices’ manufacturers, and to all the software makers whose products depend on our fanatical devotion to convenience at all costs. And so it is that we are, minute by minute, fed pabulum laced with little hits of instant gratification, Huxley’s Soma to keep us dazed and obedient. It’s a world in which we get the hook of “God Only Knows” on a recursive loop, shorn of context. (This is not a metaphor. Go to a streaming service or digital music store; they’ll no doubt have the audio sample cued up to the chorus.) Me, I long for the searching harmonic journey, the spiritual quest, the slippery chromaticism that prepares the sonic parting of clouds, that makes that delayed resolution feel like nothing less than catharsis.

13, 19, 26, 27, 28, 29 <3

13. One of your favorite 80’s songs

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey We were literally listening to our 80s playlist trying to make a choice and this song came on and I started jammin' fucking immediately so...

19. A song that makes you think about life

Do You Realize - The Flaming Lips Is this song supposed to be existential? because it is to us

26. A song that makes you want to fall in love

Little Love - Gabriel Kahane This was a difficult choice but I just think this song is cute.

27. A song that breaks your heart

Small Hands - Radical Face Something about this song just fucks me up. It's such a like found family, lifting each other up sort of song that really hits hard. And some of the lyrics have a feel to them that just really resonates with me and my self sacrificing ass lmao

28. A song by an artist with a voice that you love

Caribbean Blue - Enya We could have used this for the last one but I'm putting it here because the way she sings this is what has made me obsessed with it since childhood. It's so gorgeous and ethereal!

29. A song that you remember from your childhood

Fruit Jar - Justin Roberts I picked this song specifically because it's one of those children's songs that makes us super emotional and nostalgic.

#separate ways #journey #do you realize #the flaming lips #little love #gabriel kahane #small hands #radical face #I almost used small hands by keaton heston but after listening to them both it was Radical Face's song that made me want to cry more #caribbean blue #enya #fruit jar #justin roberts #wild ass range of music here

Again the Traffic Lights...

Again the Traffic Lights…

Again the traffic lights That skim thy swift and fractioned idiom Immaculate sigh of stars Leading thy path Condense eternity And we have seen light lifted in thine armsUnder thy shadow By the piers I waited Only darkness is thy shadow Through cities fiery parcels all undone Already snow submerges and iron heelAs sleepless as the mo Vaulting the sea The prairies dream in [?]Unto us…

It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.

On today's episode, I talk to composer and singer-songwriter Gabriel Kahane. Originally from Venice Beach, California, Gabriel has been making albums for almost a decade and a half, starting with his self-titled album which was released on Family Records in 2008. Gabriel comes at much of his songwriting from a conceptual standpoint - on his 2014 album The Ambassador, he used ten addresses in LA to write songs from the perspectives of characters both real and imaginary, his 2018 album Book of Travelers was based on a cross-country train trip he took, and his first concert work Craigslistlieder set real Craisglist ads to music. In addition to his songwriting, Gabriel has also been commissioned to write dozens of pieces for orchestras, festivals and theaters, and his latest album Magnificent Bird was just released at the end of March on Nonesuch Records!

The Faithful

And when the day recedes Into the distant hollows of your mind You will survey the damage done and Look to cranes as specters in the sky She used to dream of disaster and Her mouth grew thick with the taste of fire and fuel She got so sick of feeling bored An emperor’s child with not a lot to doBut oh it explodes on a Thursday In crimson and black Emptied the roads for the last time The weeds…
