NEW PLAYLIST: WAITING FOR THE SUN

In 1996, St. Martin's Press published a book called Waiting For The Sun by a British writer named Barney Hoskyns. The book is the single best history I've ever read about the California music scene. It spans 50 years, and covers everything from the Jazz of the 1940s to the Hip-Hop of the 90s. But the major portion of the book focuses on the Rock and Pop scenes of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.

I enjoyed the book so much that I put together a 90 minute mix tape of music discussed in the book. A couple of years later, with a CD burner handy, I expanded the original to a double CD that featured 38 tracks, and more than 150 minutes of music. I was so happy with the result that I wrote a letter to Rhino Records and proposed they issue a boxed set based on the book in co-operation with the author. I even sent them my track list as a starting point. Of course I never heard from them, and my hopes for a boxed set were dashed.

Here we are a couple of decades later, and we have playlists, and streaming services available. So, I thought I'd share with you the best mix tape / burned CD set I ever made. I still think Rhino missed an opportunity. See if you agree. After you listen to it, you really should read the book. It's the cheapest ticket you'll ever find for that West Coast trip you always dreamed of taking.

Here's the track list, and it should be listened to in the order given here. I spent almost as much time sequencing it as I did picking the songs - all of which spotlight some aspect, and some of the history of the Golden State.

37 for the ask game ( ´ ▽ ` )

Alright this was no. 37. Umm... okay the lyrics are in poetry and I can't translate it. But it's basically something something peach blossoms (you know, togenkyo/shangri-la, peach blossoms have to do with paradise/reincarnation imageries in chinese mythology) something something love that last for three reincarnation... Classic wuxia stuff... It's a nice song so I thought I'd link it anyway.

Alright let's do the next one where I can actually understand enough lyrics... Oh it's a MARINA song

Baby, I am plump and ripe I'm pinker than shepherd's delight Sweet like honeysuckle late at night

Leave it too long I'll go rot Like an apple you forgot Birds and worms will come for me The cycle of life is complete

Um... MARINA is a very great lyricist. I think the visceral quality of this... eroticism combined with mortality, along with food imagery, is just very... corporeal. It's nice.

#clockchat #thank you for the ask!

Our Australia cross multistate tour takes us across the wine region's plain field to the rainforests, the deep Great Barrier Reef, the Rocks in the desert, small towns, and big cities like Melbourne and Sydney. Yesterday, we arrived at the Shangri-La in Sydney.

When I stepped into this hotel, I had a feeling of the time I arrived at the Marina Sands in Singapore, where East meets West demographically. Like any other hotel we stayed at along the trip, I met people from all over the world - either those who served us or our fellow travelers.

Like the US, Australia is a tapestry of cultures woven together by the threads of unity and mutual respect. From the ancient wisdom of Indigenous peoples to the vibrant hues of migrant communities, their diversity is their strength. Every face tells a story, and every voice adds to their song. Together, they form a mosaic of traditions, beliefs, and backgrounds, making Australia a beacon of inclusivity and harmony for the world. And I hope every nation on earth will be like the Australian.

After the US, Australia is one of the top five countries my family chose to resettle in when we were in the refugee camp in Malaysia. We took the US since it was the nation picked us.

As I have my usual pastry and coffee this morning on the highest floor of this hotel, I am grateful to be able to visit this kindhearted country. The danish I have this morning is fabulous. It's crispy outside and soft inside. I recall more than two decades ago, we started to create our Palmiers, Madeleine, and Brownie Bites. We purposely used butter as our first ingredient (except the BB) to form a crispy crust outside and soft inside. Today, some buyers still recognize that it is a Euro-Asian pastry. Some of our managers kept telling me we should stick to who we are - making quality products our way.

As I finish up this piece of pastry, I genuinely thank my people for their relentless effort to bring people joy through delicious food.

Shangri-La Resort Names Lance Funderburk General Manager Shangri-La Resort, Oklahoma’s premier waterfront golf and outdoor recreation destination, has announced the hiring of hospitality veteran Lance Funderburk in the newly created position of General Manager. Hospitality industry veteran completes journey “from the Hawaiian Islands to Monkey Island” “The addition of Lance Funderburk in this important leadership role represents a commitment to dramatically move our resort forward,” said Shangri-La Resort President & CEO Barry Willingham. “His 20-plus years of leadership experience in the hospitality industry provides our team with a seasoned veteran who has the skill set to step immediately into this vital spot to help us move our club forward as an even bigger tourism attraction for our region.” Prior to joining the Shangri-La team, Funderburk served as Director of Operations at Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort on Grand Wailea Beach, Hawaii.

China advierte a Estados Unidos: cualquier choque entre ellos conllevaría un "desastre insoportable"

El ministro de Defensa chino, Li Shangfu, afirmó este domingo que Pekín busca hablar con Estados Unidos. Lo hizo durante el Diálogo Shangri-La, el foro de seguridad anual más importante de Asia que ha tenido lugar en Singapur, y después de los últimos meses de confrontaciones entre ambos países. Sobre todo, en torno a Taiwán y su autonomía, pero también a las disputas territoriales en el Mar de China Meridional y las restricciones del presidente de los Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, a las exportaciones de chips. Cualquier conflicto entre ambos actores, alegó, conllevaría un "desastre insoportable para el mundo".

Tanto Li con estas declaraciones como Lloyd Austin, su homólogo estadounidense, se acusaron mutuamente de las tensiones entre las dos superpotencias en la misma cumbre. Además, se enzarzaron sin diálogo directo y mientras buques de los dos países casi colisionan en el estrecho de Taiwán. Pekín, de hecho, había denegado el pasado lunes la petición de Washington de que ambos se reunieran en Singapur. Se excusó culpando de la decisión a EEUU, que sancionó a Li en 2018 tras acusarle de comprar armamento a la empresa estatal rusa Rosoboronexport.

Un día antes que Li, Austin había precisado a su par chino a dialogar para "poder evitar errores de cálculo que lleven al conflicto". El secretario de Defensa de EEUU aseguró que estaba "profundamente comprometido" con la preservación del statu quo en el autogobierno de Taiwán que Pekín reclama como su propio territorio. También reprendió al país asiático por negarse a mantener conversaciones militares.

"Me preocupa profundamente que la RPC [República Popular China] no haya estado dispuesta a participar más seriamente en mejores mecanismos para el manejo de crisis entre nuestros dos ejércitos", señaló Austin. "Cuanto más hablemos, más podremos evitar los malentendidos y los errores de cálculo que podrían conducir a una crisis o conflicto", concretó, añadiendo que Washington "no se inmutaría ante la intimidación o la coerción" del gigante asiático.

Por su parte, Li aclaró que "China y Estados Unidos tienen sistemas diferentes y son diferentes en muchos otros aspectos". Sin embargo, alegó, "esto no debe impedir que las dos partes busquen un terreno común e intereses comunes para hacer crecer los lazos bilaterales y profundizar la cooperación". "Es innegable que un conflicto o enfrentamiento severo entre China y EEUU será un desastre insoportable para el mundo", zanjó.

Estos comentarios, como ya se ha mencionado, coincidían con un nuevo episodio de tensión en el estrecho de Taiwán. Allí, un buque militar chino maniobró el sábado a escasos 137 metros del destructor estadounidense USS Chung-Hoon. Estaba realizando maniobras conjuntas con la Marina canadiense y evitó, in extremis, una colisión.

Los dos países norteamericanos señalaron que se encontraban en aguas internacionales, mientras Pekín insiste en que se trataba de sus aguas territoriales y, en un comunicado, el portavoz del Comando Este del Ejército chino, Shi Yi, defendió que las fuerzas chinas actuaron dentro de la ley. En este sentido, Li denunció que "no se trata de travesías inocentes, sino de provocaciones"

El ministro de Defensa chino reiteró la posición de China sobre Taiwán, isla autogobernada que Pekín considera una provincia rebelde desde que los nacionalistas del Kuomintang se replegaron allí en 1949 tras perder la guerra civil. Así, con tono firme, Li incidió en que su país busca una reunificación "pacífica" y en que "no promete renunciar a la fuerza" para tomarlo si hay provocaciones: "Depende de China decidir cómo resolver el asunto", zanjó.

Austin Lloyd también se refirió a Taiwán y dijo que EEUU suministra armamento a la isla y que, en principio, la defendería en caso de ataque. "Estados Unidos continuará oponiéndose categóricamente a un cambio del statu quo (de Taiwán) por cualquiera de las partes", expresó. "No buscamos el conflicto o la confrontación, pero no titubearemos frente a la coerción o el abuso", agregó.

El consultor independiente Andrew Leung explicaba a la agencia de noticias Al Jazzera que "incluso antes de las recientes confrontaciones directas, las rutas marítimas de comunicación de China, que no solo son el Estrecho de Taiwán sino también el Mar de China Meridional, están rodeadas por activos militares estadounidenses" y que todos esos puntos controlan "el flujo de comercio chino, de la importación de energía". "Entonces, si estuvieras en China y estuvieras rodeado, naturalmente, pondrías muchas defensas", argumentaba.

Otras reuniones paralelas

En contraste con la ausencia de diálogo entre ambos, Austin y Li aprovecharon para mantener un buen número de bilaterales y multilaterales con otros líderes en el foro; el estadounidense, por ejemplo, afianzó lazos con sus aliados de Filipinas, Japón y Australia en la que supone su primera reunión de Defensa conjunta.

Li, por su parte, sí se prestó a reuniones incómodas con sus pares de Japón y Corea del Sur, Yasukazu Hamada y Lee Jong-sup, en respectivos encuentros en los márgenes de la conferencia, así como con el ministro de Defensa ucraniano, Oleksii Reznikov, quien también participó en el Diálogo.

Organizado por el Instituto Internacional de Estudios Estratégicos (IISS), con sede en Londres, ésta es la vigésima edición del Diálogo Shangri-La, que se celebra en el hotel homónimo de Singapur, la 'Suiza asiática' por su neutralidad, y se ha convertido en una de las conferencias internacionales de seguridad más importantes.

En esta edición también participaron el jefe de la diplomacia europea, Josep Borrell, y el primer ministro australiano, Anthony Albanese, quien inauguró el viernes el foro, instando entonces al diálogo como "medida de contención" frente a un potencial conflicto entre China y EEUU.

Un llamamiento repetido por muchos de los participantes que quedó desatendido, si bien los contactos de alto nivel entre China y EEUU continúan por otro lado, conociéndose el viernes que el director de la CIA, Bill Burns, hizo un viaje secreto a China en mayo, su primera visita al país asiático desde que ocupa el puesto.

"No es el final del mundo que Li y Austin no se reúnan. Podrían acordar mantener contacto en el futuro, pero, tras las recientes conversaciones entre EEUU y China en asuntos comerciales y políticos, que no haya de Defensa es aceptable", afirmaba a Efe el analista de asuntos exteriores singapurense Ja-Ian Chong.
