      <image:title>Very Long Chronicles Blog - This is a little something I love (11 snippets of my brother on his 36th birthday). - We (can better) face down the demons with a monster at our side.</image:title>
      <image:caption>What is happening? Is he backing toward his younger brother? Is he walking away? What is he doing? The look of terror on the boy’s face, the 11-year old’s face, is unquestionable. What does Jonny do? He knows, he knows the proper pressure to put on. We live in an age where you don’t push, you don’t nudge, you don’t demand performance or exceptionalism. But this age, this age is an age for mortals, not for Adonises and half-beasts. Not for Jonny. And today, on this day, on this day past, a boy jumped. A boy became a man on this summer he leaped, and he leaped because a monster-man stood by with his arms crossed and let him know: You can do this. And you will. And he did.

      <image:caption>It was on Spring Break. We were on holiday. A sports tournament was on. The Madness of March, I believe; a series of basketball matches between universities in which a victor will rise to the apex of that year’s history while the other 63 sink to the compost heap of memories. This, if my memory recalls, was one of the final matches. It was a tight game. “Tight” means “close.” It was coming down to the wire. This means it was almost over. I chose this time to use the remote I had secretly absconded with and change the channel. I did this several times before the crowd pictured here began catching on. I found it very humorous, but this was a minority position amongst the crowd gathered on the bed. Eventually they figured out the gig, and Jonny was one of those most perturbed by my actions. History may have proven him correct. It was perhaps less humorous than I found it to be at the time. In spite of this, he did not abandon me, and eventually, he made enough peace with this incident that we have a workable relationship again. So all’s well. At least until the next Madness.

      <image:title>Very Long Chronicles Blog - This is a little something I love (11 snippets of my brother on his 36th birthday). - At some moment in the midst of obliteration we salvage our dignity.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We played tennis. On my court. But when we were done it was not my court. It was now his court. Passing along torches can get you burnt. But it’s also less of a burden. And sometimes when you pass along a torch it’s because someone has surpassed you and deserves to be crowned king. In making this statement I heavily imply that I was a king of the (tennis) court. That is the way I choose to remember: I once was king, but then I stepped aside gracefully and salvaged dignity on the sidelines and we sat in solidarity and considered activities where I might purchase some extra dignity at low cost. Point is, go hard, lose well, write the story you want after the fact. And respect worthy adversaries, regardless of outcome or age. July 2005</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Just like video is simply a series of rapidly-displayed static photographs that plays on the failure of our body’s ability to perceive as individual images, long-term healthy relationships are maybe, at core, often simply a series of rapid, small, tiny-in-the-moment interchanges and happenings that add up to something beautiful; images lay the groundwork for video, which in turn, composed, cropped, curated, and edited well, - and with a good soundtrack - can turn into masterful cinema; perhaps enough of these small experiences, these small conversations, these small affections, repeated enough times, done frequently, are the play blocks for a relationship-filled life not just lived well, but shared beautifully. So yeah, you might call this a single frame of an epic film. December 2006</image:caption>

      <image:title>Very Long Chronicles Blog - This is a little something I love (11 snippets of my brother on his 36th birthday). - Nap.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In another life, I might have gone into the Coast Guard, or producing rap, or developmental cognitive psychology. What does this have to do with anything? Two things. First, I enjoy talking about relationships and the reasons people do what they do; the inner workings of humans and their connections to others, with this fellow. Strictly speaking, with both of these fellows. I appreciate his commitment to learning, to growth, and to trying to better understand people’s relationships with each other. I like talking about brain-mind-heart-relational-developmental stuff. Second, I am fascinated, intrigued, and enchanted by the ways that Person B’s relationship with Person C affects Person B’s relationship with Person A. I appreciate, so much, Jonny’s interest in developing relationships both collectively and individually; I love to see the dynamics he has with other siblings and friends, I love to see the care and respect and thoughtful appreciation he brings to each… …and I love how he does so in a manner that is not threatening. In other words, he’s Person B. The healthiest people make the people around them develop healthier relationships with others, not just themselves. It is a significant trait and one I value in him immensely. I’ve never told him this, but I actually think there may be a point down the road where we do some music together. I am quietly giddy about the prospect. My alternate life as a rap producer may not be an alternate; it may be in this life down the road. Also, the person Jonny’s napping with is our IRL brother Jeremy, who actually is a music producer, amongst other hyphenates. November 2007</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You might look at this image, and think that all he does is nap. I don’t know what to say. Maybe there’s truth to that. I don’t know. Of course I know. Smart people learn to know themselves, to know what you need, what your body needs, like power naps. What you are seeing here is a Power Power Napper in progress. Here’s the thing: he’s sleeping, with his 13-month old niece on his lap, and she’s playing, and he was playing with her, and if she fell, it’s not like there’s 6-inch lag screws lying around on the living room floor from our dad’s last remodel project (or hanging a picture frame). At least, the chances that if she fell, that she would land on one in a way that would cause serious injury is slight. Here’s the important thing: She’s not going to fall. Because she’s with him. From the time she came into being, I have trusted him with our kids. It is a well-placed trust. It doesn’t mean that nothing bad will ever happen when they’re with him. We accept risk by living and growing and trusting others. But it means that he will always, and has always, looked out for them. From the subatomic particles and chromosomes and twisty genetic strands that define him as him, I have known, and know that he is a Protector; a Protector not only of Bodies but of Emotions, of Feelings, of Souls. I have a lot more to say on that. But later. It is not an abstract statement I make. It is concrete to the bone and beyond. There are many ways to look out for a fellow human. That is what this is about, the physical but also beyond the physical. If she started to fall, he would catch her. If she did fall, he would comfort her. My trust is well-placed.

      <image:caption>These arms, the Adonis arms, the arms rippling bulging in Golden Ratio proportion, arms used by strong men, actual strong men, the real strong men, the men who use their strength to open and embrace, comfort and protect, gently, kindly, open them to both welcome and release. Those are the arms of strength / these are the arms of strength. August 2009</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of them is sleeping. The other is fake-sleeping. You might be correct, or you might not. You might think this image is cute. It is. But for me, the draw is not in the singularity, it’s in the commonness. It’s a picture etched amongst my dozens of neurons many times; it’s a familiar scene, one that makes me feel like I stumbled on a film set where I’m trying to write my own interpretation of a Chekhov story while simultaneously trying to distance myself from and impress Wes Anderson with my set design aesthetic. I don’t know. There’s a lot going on but then I look and there really isn’t, so I get to focus on the energy being shared between two hands interlocked, stretched across distance and grungy hotel textiles. What dreams may enter this hallow shared space. August 2009</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hood to Coast. Brother-Sister. Almost 200 miles of running. They did, along with their team of runners and… …drivers. I was in one of these categories, the category best befitting my fitness at the time. As a team, I believe we finished. We finished. Did we win? I do not recall the specifics. But I know we finished, some of us (pictured) on two legs and some of us (not pictured) on four wheels in a driver’s seat chauffeuring athletes through the night. All through the night we ran, or drove, and it was an experience and a memory, one that left me proud of these two. It is a significant thing to commit to practicing, to rehearsing, to training for something that tests you and makes you find what you’re capable of, and these two, these two have pushed themselves and I feel proud, proud by association, to be part of their commitment, discipline, and team they assembled to do so something hard. Something hard, something fun. August 2012</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sometimes you leap into the thick. Sometimes you step back and marvel. Or at least marvel with a smile and a camera. You may not be able to pick the family you come from. If you got a good one, well…good and marvel at your luck and the grace shone upon you. When you’re younger, you’re dependent on older people to bring you together with people you want to be with. As you get older, you become the person that helps to bring people together. I admire the way Jonny has lived his life being a catalyst, being an enabler, for bringing people together. It is these moments and minutes strung together, over time, that forge lasting relationships and keep you healthy. Thank you. December 2012</image:caption>

      <image:title>Very Long Chronicles Blog - Assault (here’s what betraying your country looks like).</image:title>
      <image:caption>My first run-in with the P***d B***s. At this point in January 2019, I had no idea who they were. So I went over and asked. Three of them educated me on what they were, as various iterations of the flag dipped and brushed the ground. They carefully avoided making any reference or inference to white supremacy or race in general; merely expressing their support for the flag and what it stands for. I pressed and pushed; something I may have been more cautious about had I realized at the time their enthusiasm for aggression and violent tactics as the easiest way to ejaculate their hate; hate euphemized as nationalism, patriotism, and masculinity. I rejected - respectfully - their position as it became clear what they really stood for, and ejected myself from the area. And then went on to have a short dialog with a black father and son who had been looking on from a short distance away in an unnamed coffee shop. The late-teenager was trembling - literally trembling - with rage at their brazen attempt to cast themselves as American heroes. “Bunch of pussies carrying a flag around, they got no right.” “They have a right,” his father reminded him. “They have a right to be there. I hate it. I hate it too son.” The ‘P’ word I choose to use is ‘pathetic.’ Pathetic. These grown men, shuffling around, carrying a flag that symbolizes so much - yet what have they chosen to have it represent? A pathetic version of masculinity. A pathetic and mistaken vision of America. A pathetic attempt to divide. A pathetic representation of America’s worst. And here’s the really pathetic thing: as individuals, maybe some of, or all of these fellows are decent human beings. They’re not beyond redemption. But somewhere, sometime, something developed in them that led them to point fingers instead of join hands; to blame others instead of looking at their own hearts, and to choose aggression and violence over listening and meaningful dialog. Deeply saddening. Deeply pathetic. Homo sum humani, nihil a mi alienum puto. We are all capable of great evil. Or of great goodness. Choose.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I actually don’t know what it’s called. It’s a little like lacrosse, only it’s plastic scoop racquets with a waffle-ball that you toss around. Our older ones have invented a couple games, and I cannot think of ten dollars better spent. I often jump in to play the winner, and find myself with a bronze medal at the end. Highly recommend.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - A is for Arcade Fire.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I appreciate black-and-white imagery, modernism, and Bob Dylan.  There's a special place in my heart, though, for Technicolor, Matisse, and Arcade Fire. Avalanche hues and washes of colour spilling together in anarchic structure; beautiful and bombastic and overwhelming.  Their 2003 masterpiece Funeral will be one of my favourite albums ever until my deathbed. Or rather, pyre. Which ideally is centuries off in the future. I dare you to go listen to Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) and not have goosebumps crawling along up your arms. Stunning.  Then I'll dig a tunnel / From my window to yours</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - B is for Benny Goodman.</image:title>
      <image:caption>"King of Swing," clarinetist, and bandleader who led various ensembles to create and perform some of the most popular, joyous, and rockin' tunes of the '30s onward. Also, he was significant in helping launch jazz as a "respected" musical form and in leading one of the first racially-integrated groups.  The very definition of timeless music. Never gonna go out of style.  Yes, those are M&amp;Ms and yes, my children helped me eat them following this setup. Time for some carrots and broccoli now.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - B is for David Bowie.</image:title>
      <image:caption>His genre-jumping, identity-shifting career is grounded in impeccable glam-pop melody and emotional heft amidst the myriad experimental glitter. My latest re-discovery of his: The Cygnet Committee off his 1969 eponymous album - dystopian epic, gorgeous, goosebumps starting around the five-minute mark. What a musician.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - C is for Cat Power.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The very best music is often not the most immediate. First time I heard Cat Power, I failed to comprehend what was so special about her. She's a slow burn; an artist you learn to appreciate more and more with each passing listen. Her gorgeous, simply elegiac voice is like the anti-Mariah Carey in its bluesy, roots-drenched soul; and her ability to craft an atmosphere of raw, sexy, stripped-down, authentic melody is unparalleled. Simultaneously fragile and majestic. If you don't care for her the first time you hear her...don't give up.  She'll get to you. Sooner or later, she will.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - C is for Charlie Parker.</image:title>
      <image:caption>His bebopping saxophone ripped a giant hole in notions of what jazz could be. His style transcended music and influenced countless artists to treat their discipline, whatever it might be, as not just entertainment, but as intellect and art. Complex, revolutionary, full of style and mischief, he famously stated: "It's just music. It's playing clean and looking for the pretty notes." He found some pretty ones.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - E is for Ennio Morricone.</image:title>
      <image:caption>His gorgeous, inventive film scores have utilized everything from full orchestras to jaw harps, gunshots, cracking whips, and a variety of world vocalists. Although he is best-known for his moody presence on Sergio Leone's spaghetti Westerns, he has influenced scores of musicians, from Michael Nyman to Muse. Seriously: haunting and beautiful. So maybe try out Per Qualche Dollaro in Più (from For a Few Dollars More) or Once Upon a Time in the West (title track from the film of the same name).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - E is for Elf Power.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Their fuzzy pop is majestic in little bite-size bits of deliciousness; the same universe as old Elephant Six buddies Neutral Milk Hotel and of Montreal, but with tighter arrangements and crisp, pastoral psych-folky punk panache. A Dream in Sound (1999) and Back to the Web (2006) are good jump-in points for getting introduced to one of the great unheralded outfits from the '90s. Blueberries, by the way. Yum.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - E is for Erik Satie.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Composer, pianist, artist, and jokester whose short, simple compositions have been one of the great surprise discoveries for me musically in the last five years. A colourful and eccentric figure, he associated with many artists and musicians of note, including Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp, and Pablo Picasso. Also, he loved bowler hats.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - F is for Fiery Furnaces.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ebullient, piano-banging brother-sister duo of Matthew &amp; Eleanor Friedberger, whose poppy, bluesy, synth-sunny brand of indie garage melodies can understatedly be described as 'utterly unique.' On one album, they also feature their equally unique grandmother, Olga, telling story snippets about her life. (am a huge fan of 2004's epic Blueberry Boat).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - F is for Fever Ray</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nom de plume for Swede Karin Dreijer, whose icy electronic slashed with shadows of winter warmth is both an extension of her chilly sibling duo The Knife and a diversion, with its lovely little meandering choruses slid under skittering instruments. Anyway. Great for a rainy early spring evening when you’re chopping English cucumbers for a salad. Definitely, definitely listen to “Red Trails” three times and then try not to have it skipping through your head. You are my favorite thing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - F is for Flaming Lips.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Their cheerful, bittersweet, epic, impossible to categorize psychedelic rock &amp; roll has left a trail of melody that is sometimes awful and frequently brilliant, but rarely ever in the middle. Check out The Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, or even half of Clouds Taste Metallic. Yeah, they know how to ambitiously name an album.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - G is for Glenn Gould.</image:title>
      <image:caption>20th century pianist who is best known for his enthusiastic and stunning interpretations of Bach’s keyboard works. Eccentric and iconoclastic, he brought both technical virtuosity and emotional intensity to his renditions of various composers, frequently from the Baroque period. My introduction years ago, and probably his most familiar, is Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Written for harpsichord and played by him on piano, they are still one of my Desert Island Album picks and one we play on heavy rotation every Autumn. And Spring. And other seasons.  Also, there’s a lovely little movie called “32 Short Films About Glenn Gould.” It’s hard to explain, but basically the best way to describe it is that it’s a bunch of short films about Glenn Gould. All in different perspectives and styles. I think there’s about 32 of them, if I remember correctly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - J is for James</image:title>
      <image:caption>So many great albums under their belt and a fan base that is with them for life. Nothing against U2, love em too, but James takes all the catchy pop and big hook sounds that make your heart soar and your skin goosebump and roughs it up with enough dirty soul to make you smile and cry and get angry and get inspired all over the course of an album. Last three albums BTW, uhh, that’s a streak. Tim Booth. One of the great vocalists of our time. Saw them twice in the mid-late 90s and fell in love, never stopped. Try 2014’s gorgeous La Petite Morte. And of course they oft remind me of my bud @wandervogelsoul who has a shared love for the Manchester maestros.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - K is for Kings of Leon.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My mood was rotten. I was spending a Sunday fixing things. Gutters, tools, my riding mower. I am not a mechanical person by nature or intuition. I am a mechanical person to the extent that my dad picks up when I call him, or if he’s screening my calls, I can hop on the YouTube and find some poorly lit video with someone valiantly explaining the problem I’m trying to deal with. Some people concentrate best with silence. I am the oldest of seven children and have three of mine, so I function with noise. And I love music. Loud music. I took my foul mood and set of socket wrenches and began disassembling my mower deck and belts. But first: my blockrocker speaker, with which I frequently try to share my musical tastes with the rest of our mountain. So I stuck on Kings of Leon, those three bros and cousin southern countrified rock and roll outfit with tight jeans and a sound vaguely resembling what I imagine the Strokes might have become if they had grown up in Bowling Green Kentucky instead of NYC. They got swagger and arena-ready riffs and I’ve just been a kick on them this summer. Also, I wrote a big long sad post about them and loneliness on my blog, which possibly one out of every twenty five of you might like, aside from feeling sad afterwards. Should you choose to, just pop “winter” into the search field at the top right and it’ll be the top post. So Kings. Played em loud, real loud, replayed True Love Ways twice, and guess what? Fixed my mower. Boom. Happy Sunday all. Play some good tunes. Loud.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - L is for Leonard Cohen.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sadly, our children could not stand Mr. Cohen while his elegaic presence still graced this earth, and their disenchantment has not shifted with his passing. They have made up ditties about their disdain for his music, which is horrible, but kind of funny. He is a funny fellow, in spite of his occasionally* dark lyrics. Such an icon; a bard for our times. I enjoy him more every year. Closing time. Miss you, Mr. Cohen.</image:caption>

Or not. Enjoying. Happy day.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - L is for Lucinda Williams.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Her one-of-a-kind battle-scarred voice leads listeners down a long gravel country road filled with narrative and heartache, yet transcends genre with the gut wrenching beauty of Townes Van Zandt-inspired stories and melody. If you dig Townes, Leonard Cohen, Steve Earle, Daniel Johnston, Loretta Lynn, or just plain good old-fashioned classic Americana at the top of its game, then you surely ought to give Lucinda a spin. Albums to start with: Car Wheels On a Gravel Road and Essence.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Their exuberant melanges of jazz, Calypso, classical, standards, and a host of other world music influences have kept audiences dancing from Portland to Paris for many years. If you haven't experienced their magic yet, try out 1997's Sympathique or 2004's Hang On Little Tomato. An infectious adrenalin shot of enthusiasm, love, energy, and horn-ripping, grand piano bombastic dancingness squeezed into one tiny little big Portland-based band that could.  They play regular shows for beloved Portland every year, amidst international touring - check them out at the Oregon Zoo in August or their annual New Year's Eve show downtown. I had the pleasure of working on their first music video a while back, and it was a joy to be a part of. Good people, good music. Win win.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Their Gatling blast of chaotic melodies and frazzled tempos influenced squadrons of 90s "alternative" bands. Most were pale carbons; pathetic shadows of thunder voiced Black Francis, Kim Deal, and court. Monkey Gone to Heaven. Good introductory track.  Happy day, y'awl.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - R is for Radiohead.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Like many thirtysomethings, my first experience with Radiohead was with their first commercial hit, the anthemic, self-loathing "Creep" in the early 90s. Solid Britrock band, I thought, lumping them into the pool of Pulp, Manic Street Preachers, etc. at the time. Twenty years on and a string of genre-defying albums later, they have amassed a worldwide legion of fans based on a perplexing mix of experimentation fused with just enough structure and melody to keep things glued together; operating on the peripheries of what the word "song" actually is; melting atonal drones and glacial vocals with haunting soundscapes of stuttering percussion and scalpel-sharp guitars. I still love The Bends - their straight-up version of Britpop that hinted of what was to come, yet is still a reminder of how adept they are at simply crafting a good pop song. And I love OK Computer. Know what I'm still ambivalent on? Kid A. Still waiting for that one to sink in. Maybe I just need to give it another decade. What's your favourite Radiohead album or song?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - R is for the Raveonettes.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Danish duo whose glacial, precision fuzz pop bears shades of the Jesus &amp; Mary Chain and 60s bubblegum candy while staunchly crafting a decade of fantastic little three-minute gems that are wholly their own. Icy, but often romantic and veering between sweet, dark, and intense themes amidst crunchy guitar, beautiful vocals and slick-but-simple production. Every year I go through a phase sometime in the Autumn or Spring where I crash and burn through all their work.  By the way, they also have a great little Christmas EP.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Australian pop writing songstress with a genius for big hooks, dynamic buildups, and infectious choruses. Pop music, at its best, can be accessible, innovative, and GOOD. Been really enjoying her last three albums, We Are Born, 1000 Forms of Fear, This Is Acting.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I don't listen to heavy stuff too much anymore. Too much sunshine floating around to soundtrack every day with chug-a-lug tuned down guitars and raw-throat aggression. But I have lotsa respect for the titans who have chosen heaviness as their path and find ways to subvert and bend their chosen genre. SOD certainly fits into this category. Train wreck time signature changes, dancing-deer vocal aerobatics, an anarchic, intelligent sense of chaos contained within tight structure. Armenia knows how to bring the heavy.  These are wild rise petals from Washougal.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Longtime eccentric rockers perhaps best known for writing the most popular song ever about the name changes of Turkey's capital city, as well as the theme song to Malcolm in the Middle. And now, we get to introduce our own children to their genius: along with a string of fine albums "for adults" starting in the early 80s, they've done film &amp; television and children's music. We have particularly been enjoying No! and their eponymous album. Alphabet of Nations, I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die, In the Middle, and Robot Parade all feature vintage wordiness, weirdness, and strangely addictive tunes that are a great example of listenability for everyone, regardless of age. And our daughter designed and the letter with a power drill and 1 1/2" screw. :)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Illustration : 44Rockstars - U is for U2.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Everybody in the world knows who they are, and probably a few inhabitants of foreign galaxies. Do they make great music still? I don't know. But they've sure made some great music in their prolific lifespan. Still got a lotta love for "New Year's Day" and its unforgettable refrain: I will be with you again... Somewhere, buried under the hype and arenas and sunglasses, is still the burning heart of a fierce Irish rock and roll band that's found a neo-Bowie way of reinventing themselves time after time, yet simultaneously has stuck to each other and to their roots. Gotta respect that. Favourite U2 song? Oh, and thank you, @countessbecca , for your patience in tolerantly letting me rearrange little bits of food and toys and sticks and such to make quirky letters. You are rad, and I will follow you onto any street with a name, or without one.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Their brash NYC guitars and droll, witty tales of urban life on the margins never sold a billion albums but gained a cult following that inspired countless others to famously start their own bands. Lou Reed has one of those voices you either love or hate, and it's always hard to tell just what level of self-awareness he actually has :)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>His grumbly-voiced reflections and stories about rogues, scoundrels, damsels, and lovable down-and-outers have made him a troubadour laureate for our time. His classic blend of gentle ballads, husky stomping rockers, and carnival-inflected instrumentations are simply a soulful delight. A grizzled, enigmatic iconoclast with six strings and wry smile, he is an inspiration to all creatives desiring to hack their own path and march to their own drum.  Mule Variations. Swordfishtrombones. Orphans (disc 2). Tough to go wrong. Ramble on and happy Mondays, all!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I still enjoy some of Bryan Ferry's solo endeavors and strange orchestral directions, and I am frequently impressed by Brian Eno's quiet experimental ambiences and productions for others...but mostly I still love the work they did together in the '70s as #RoxyMusic , the art-glam rock connoisseurs who paved roads for innumerable bands since with a joint love of savvy sound and visual elegance. Still get goosebumps over the classic More Than This (used incomparably by Sofia Coppola in that classic Lost in Translation sequence), but there's plenty of other great ones to dig into as well. Like Virginia Plain.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Their fusion of blues, heavy-hitting guitars, minotaur-wailing vocals, and thunderous skin thumping influenced innumerable bands and made heavy metal a reality across oceans. Personally, I could wait another decade before hearing Stairway to Heaven again, but I could listen to the opening howl of Immigrant Song every morning for the rest of the century. Chills.</image:caption>
