"Any serious moral accounting of the Weather Underground might consider how they would be remembered had they stormed a federal facility and indiscriminately fired 2,000 rounds of live ammunition, murdering 43 people in under 20 minutes (a crime actually committed by the New York State Police and correctional officers when they retook Attica in 1971). How might we judge them had they opened fire on unarmed protestors, injuring 28 and killing three by shooting them in the back (a crime actually committed by state police and highway patrol officers in the 1968 Orangeburg Massacre)? How might we remember the Weather Underground had it been J. Edgar Hoover and not Fred Hampton who lay in a drugged haze as armed men stormed into his home and shot him in his sleep?" - Emmett Rensin, A Better World Is Not Possible: Did the Weather Underground have a point?

On September 8th 1972, Robert Fripp brought his guitar and pedal board to Brian Eno's home studio. Using Eno's twin tape recorder/loop method set-up Fripp provided two takes - one for the background guitar loop and one for the foreground solos with Eno selectively manipulating which signals were committed to the final tape.

One of the aftermaths of the Chilean coup d'état in 11.9.1973 was the gathering and killing of people with opposite political views.

Victor Jara (born 28.9.1932) was one of the many thousand people imprisoned and tortured at Estadio Chile in Santiago.

He was a teacher, a theater director, a poet, and probably most known as a singer songwriter and a communist. Those being the reasons why the new far right regiment murdered him brutally at the stadium where he was held captive 16th of September in 1973.

Victor was a voice of revolution along with others, and his voice got silenced.

But his legacy lives on. 🕊️❤️

Listen/purchase: The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music by Marisa Anderson

The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music is a collection of nearly one thousand songs culled from the private record collection of the late Harry Smith. Assembled by Anderson after a chance encounter led to an opportunity to study and explore this treasure trove of music, the Anthology focuses on music from places that the United States has been in conflict with since 1970: Southeast Asia, the USSR and the Arabic and Islamic regions of the world. In Volume 1 Anderson presents her own deeply personal iterations of nine songs from the Anthology. Composed, transcribed and arranged through a process of trial and error, deep listening and research, Anderson charts a musical course from Afghanistan to Vietnam via Yemen, Cambodia and Turkmenistan. Interpretations of compositions ranging from Pakistani qawwali to Syrian taqsim are played with Anderson’s deft and practiced hands. Each piece on the album stands as a dialogue between Anderson and the original source recording, refracted through the prism of her own unique musical lens. Anderson’s contribution to this dialogue ultimately invites the listener to join her in asking: “Who are the people we’ve been told in our lifetimes are “unamerican?” What have we lost or been denied access to in the fallout from that label?”

It was originally about attention: paying attention and being able to focus. And it was thanks to a friend of mine, Bob Leckey, who I was working with. He had (and still has) this really wonderful ability to quietly focus on things, to see how they work. And I asked him, “How are you doing this?” Bob told me he’d been having trouble concentrating. So he went to Barre, Massachusetts, to the Insight Meditation Society headquarters, and did a ten-day silent retreat. He said that after the retreat, all his scattered thoughts had calmed down, and he was able to focus. His mind was, as he put it, like a beam. He could kind of move it here or there, look at things steadily for a long time. And I thought, Whoa, I’d like a mind like a beam! So I went there myself: Insight Meditation Society in Western Massachusetts. This was in ’77, I think maybe their second or third year. It was very early in their programming, and they were pretty hardcore at the time. You’d get up at four, meditate, have your only meal of the day, then a bell would ring and you’d do walking meditation, then sitting, then some water, and then more practice. So it was many, many hours a day. When I got there, they asked, “Why are you here?” And I said, “I’m here to get a mind like a beam.” And they said, “Oh no, no, this is a path of pain.” And I said, “No, I’m talking about a beam!” So we had this very ridiculous conversation, ping-ponging back and forth between pain and beam, pain and beam. And finally, after a couple of days, I realized it really was about pain. They said, “You’re here because you’re in pain.” And I said, “No, no, no, that’s not why I’m here.” But I realized… that was why I was there. And it was a very unique way of looking at pain.
