When I was in Khmelnitskyi in 2017
I was put up after my show
at an artists' compound,
sort of residency, retreat
out in the rural area outside the town.
And I had planned on going to
Odessa the next day.
That's where my... some people in my family were from
before they came to New York
around the beginning of the 20th century.
and I wanted to go to Odessa the next day after my show in Khmelnitskyi
So i woke up in the morning and planned on walking
from the compound
which was quite a ways away from anything else
and quite a ways away from the town center
walking from there to the town to get a bus to Odessa.
And then, from Odessa go to Kyiv, where I would play
a final show with WBBB. And
so I started talking out the compound at around 10 in the morning
and walked for a couple of hours
until I got to the place where the country road
met the larger road that joined up at, like, a gas station
that would bring me to Khmelnitskyi
then i would hitchhike on that larger road to Khmelnitskyi
But right at the corner of the country road,
and the larger road,
my friend showed up.
And he said, "You can't go into Khmelnitskyy
to get a bus to Odessa, because we gotta hang out."
And picked me up in the car and drove me back to the compound
where we had been –– where I had been staying, and
Finally got some beers and took them out on this little lake
that was near the compound
And, my friends there took good care of me,
and also gave me the gift of an excuse
to go back to Odessa next time I go.
So, thank you for that.
A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303
Marvelous experimental music from this Tel Aviv musician that fuses outré noise with almost folk-like arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 13, 2022

Sonic Youth is one of those bands where you easily run out of superlatives to describe what they created. This could've easily come off as a cynical cash-grab by a band that had broken up 11 years prior to the release of this record, but that's not what this is. Some of my favourite Sonic Youth instrumentals. sentient meat
