Checking out a reprint of James Trotter’s “Music and Some Highly Musical People,” 1881, believed to be the first study of Black music in the U.S. and the first cross-genre study. https://t.co/oa10ASQIq8

I haven't read all the Hilary Mantel I want to (including the trilogy; one day) but "The Giant, O'Brien" & "Beyond Black" are clearly written by an actual genius. The former is an experimental historical novella about schisms: rationalism/creativity, England/Ireland ...

@benjamin_oc Looks great. And I’ve now recently gotten that, the Mccarthys, and Pete Dexter’s Deadwood so it might be time for a western marathon.

Reading Val Wilmer’s “As Serious as Your Life,” about 60s/70s progressive jazz, and it seems obvious that this anecdote is about Steve Reich. Not great! https://t.co/7i2o0pudnC

Finally reading Francesca Royster’s recent @UTexasPress book BLACK COUNTRY MUSIC and had the delightful experience of stumbling on a citation of my own interview with Rhiannon Giddens. What an honor! https://t.co/AgTzzYzBju

@CoreyRForrester @traecrowder Edward Bernays is the dude who invented breakfast. Literally wrote a book called “Propaganda” and was considered the inventor of public relations. Bacon & eggs was his masterpiece. https://t.co/Aa00fjx23E
