Don't listen to Rebecca's lies!
I've seen people say that Marc Chagall was born on July 7 but they're wrong. You guys get Gustav Mahler, Giancarlo Menotti, and Jeff Vandermeer, so let us have Chagall. I guess we have Frida Kahlo too.

Welp, I'm no longer in the prime of life, that was incredibly bad and I'm sorry.
For those of you who need a deeper explanation, 25=32. It's the number of levels in the original Super Mario Brothers but it can be factored.
But this isn't a reflection on my life, merely a reflection on music I've been listening to.

Kitchens of Distinction - Elephantine. For reasons unknown to me, this is evocative of the summer of 2001.
Blind Mr. Jones - Hey
Einojuhani Rautavaara - Cantus Arcticus - I always have to look up the spelling.
Rose Polenzani - Seven Swans - While I never actually got to hear her play, I nonetheless fell in love with the art on her album and with her music.
Bong Wish - My Luv - I didn't get to hear them and their album has been coming soon since the end of February, but there are some good live videos and their Facebook page is regularly updated which is more than I can say about Sophie Atlas. I said that if I haven't forgotten by then, I'll see you in 2018.
Soft Pyramids - Waning Moon - I did get to hear these guys but I don't know if this one was on the setlist.
Federator no 1 - I'm not going to name a specific song because they don't have a proper recording yet and I honestly have no idea what their setlist is.
Giacomo Puccini - Tosca
Henry Cowell - Hymn and Fuguing Tune no. 10 - perfect for summer mornings
Sergei Prokofiev - Summer Night - and perfect for summer nights
Thela - Untitled - but which one did I hear that August night?
San Lorenzo - Kintampo Road
Grace Morrison - Taking Johnny Home
Gretch - Demons - that was their very first concert.
Elisabeth Lopez - Monsters
Amy and the Engine - Patience - This wasn't the song that stood out when I heard them but it's the one that stood out when they started posting music videos on Youtube.
Kate Diaz - On My Own
Revma - Astra Mi Me Malonete
Creek River String Band - Donner Party
The Promise Is Hope - Quiet Hands - I found this stuff at the end of last summer, when Emma wasn't showing up at the free summer concerts or events I was at, and I wrote about how I was grateful for Emma's friendship even if it only lasted a brief time. I think there's a more important lesson to be learned from this experience.
Zili Misik - Praia
Giacomo Puccini - La Boheme - life is elsewhere
Letters To Cleo - Cruel To Be Kind - I think it would be awesome if they did an album that was all songs from Kiss Me Kate.
Belly - Slow Dog - as heard on Rick and Morty. Not that specific song, I mean.
My Dead Girlfriend - 彼女が冷たく笑ったら (prologue to the nine stages of change at the deceased remains)
John Adams - Phrygian Gates
The Western Den - Eden
Rose Polenzani - Molly's Lily
Frau - Salahku Sahabatku
The Voice of the Turtle - Por la tu puerta
The Boston Camerata - Carmina Burana - nothing like the Orff cantata.
As The Sparrow - The Otherside
Gyorgi Ligeti - Six Bagatelles
Rose Polenzani - Omen
Só Sol - Singer - This is the band that opened for Atlas Lab and made my decision firm. After the concert, Emma and I hugged, I told her that it's okay if we can't do a mural at the wildlife center but maybe we'll find somewhere we can make a mural together. The lesson is this: don't blame your friends for their social network of choice's deficiencies.
Kati Agocs - Debrecen Passion - she also did Vessel, which is an English poem, a Latin poem, and a Hebrew poem all at once.
Bedroom Eyes - Wild Sins
Guillermo Sexo - Meow Metal
Quilt - Tie Up The Tides
Littlefoot - Black Hole
shadsy - Snow's Theme 8bit - she was at the Beantown Jazz Festival, apparently.
Speedy Ortiz - My Dead Girl
Matt Minigell - Lucy
Stephanie Meyers - Double Edge Sword
Radiohead - Daydreaming
Dinosaur Jr. - Not The Same
Abbie Barrett - Here To Stay
Mr. Airplane Man
Morphine - Yes
The Five Blobs - Beware The Blob!
Mei Ohara - Thieves of Color
Elizabeth Colour Wheel - Out Of
Lady Pills - Irrelevant
Christine Southworth - Super Collider - I've learned two other important things this year: Boston has multiple gamelan ensembles and a robot orchestra, and said robot orchestra and one of the gamelan ensembles collaborated. The composer also did a concert featuring that giant Van Der Graaf generator, Lyricon, robotic xylophone, guitar, cello, voices, percussion, piano.
Zdravets - And they have a friendly neighborhood Balkans band. Actually, the Boston area has ten of them.
Soulsha - A Million Miles From Home

burning question: even leaving aside the Libertarian Futurist Society's lack of concern for things like literary quality, how did Kay Nolte Smith even get nominated for a Prometheus Award?
