Charles Demuth’s painting of overlapping gold number fives against red, gray, and black geometric shapes.
Charles Demuth’s I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold (1928)

five quick takes on music, politics, and ai — plus a song stuck in my head.

one. interpol’s this mirror weighs a ton ain’t hittin’ like 2002
they just sound like any other decent alternative band now
no shade

two. lauren boebert denies the staff-affair allegations
her anti-lgbtqia record ain’t a rumor
family values sho’ stay busy
minding eybody else’s business

three. may have to cover the cuban-american story
beyond the deportations to africa
beyond the boate memes 
something bigger’s been deported

four. anthropic’s new drug testing lab on human cells
yup, the company that warns ai could build bioweapons
eybody sees the wreck coming
nobody wants to be second to arrive

five. amina claudine myers at roulette brooklyn opening for
qasim naqvi, wadada leo smith, and andrew cyrille
the cosmic met the spiritual friday night
red hook records is hittin’ on sumpn special …

song currently stuck in my head: “it’s a lonesome old town (live)” – keith jarrett
