Pakistani Orchestra Performs a Brilliant Sitar-Forward Cover of the Dave Brubeck Jazz Classic ‘Take Five’

by Lori Dorn on December 8, 2020

The incredibly talented Pakistani musicians of Sachal Studios performed an absolutely brilliant cover of the iconic Dave Brubeck piece “Take Five”. This incredible version featured such uniquely Indo-Pakistani sounds as the tabla (twin drums) played by Ustad Ijaz Hussain Ballu Khan, Ustad Tanveer Hussain on sarod, and Nafees Ahmed on sitar. These particular instruments combined with the rest of the orchestra created a new, multi-layered take on an old classic.

Riaz Hussain’s contribution in arranging the ensemble is remarkable and I am truly thrilled by the sheer abandonment with which all of us have, perhaps, for the first time in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent, embraced Take Five and jazz in our own tradition of music.

Ms. Frizzle: style icon

Next up on #SubmissionSunday, astronomer Erika Nesvold alerted us that brilliant blogger @themilitantbaker put together EIGHT Ms. Frizzle-inspired outfits, plus bonus pieces! Of course the space-themed one is our favorite, but we love it when anyone wears their science passion.

We’ve seen quite a few Ms. Frizzle costumes before, but this looks is great for every day wear.

This indie designer is exposing her legal battle with Zara over allegedly stolen designs

Los Angeles-based clothing and accessories designer Tuesday Bassen is at odds with Zara over the alleged theft of her designs. Tuesday night, Bassen posted an excerpt of Zara’s response to a cease-and-desist notice her attorney sent the giant corporate fashion house alongside comparative images of the pins and patches in question.

Soon, the hashtag #SupportTuesdayBassen surfaced on social media with her followers tweeting at Zara and bombarding the fashion house’s Instagram account with hundreds of comments. But as others pointed out on Wednesday, this is hardly the first time Zara has been accused of blatantly ripping off young, lesser-known designers.

Signal boost.

RNC attendees tried to hide a demonstrator’s “No racism, No hate” sign with an American flag. Clearly they failed to see the irony. The protester was from the Code Pink group — who haven’t been slowed down by this at all.

[wilwheaton]

Using an American flag to cover up someone calling for an end to racism and hate is the best metaphor I’ve seen in a long time for the GOP.

I just saw ghostbusters. I am literally sitting here stunned and amazed. There was not one fat joke. Not a single one. I was waiting in the theater braced the entire time for jokes towards Patty and Abigail for their size, and there wasn’t a single one.

…kind of in awe, honestly.

[out-there-on-the-maroon]

They also showed all the ladies eating in the movie. No jokes about eating and getting fat, just, women eating food. Messily. Not sexily. Like normal people. 

There was a scene with the table covered in pizza boxes after a long day. No jokes. Just, they had dinner together. Women … eating food … like normal people. Not to be sexy or make a fat joke. Because they’re humans who require food. 

[pangurbanthewhite]

No cattiness over appearance, no cattiness over intelligence, no fighting over Kevin or even serious romantic interest in Kevin, just professional disagreements and otherwise ladies supporting ladies in a crisis. 

It was a beautiful thing.

Leshia Evans named as woman in 'legendary' protest photo

Leshia Evans was arrested for “obstructing traffic” by heavily armored Baton Rouge police officers on July 9. Jonathan Bachman’s photograph of the event tells so many stories.

Revealed in the margins is the impossibly of ‘traffic’ when a formation of riot police fills the street. In the center, Evans stands like a pillar in front of officers we know are advancing upon her, but who appear to be falling away. Police uniforms so overbearingly militarized it’s a wonder they can move at all.

They can remove their armor at the end of the day. She can’t remove hers.
