These are my links for May 3rd:

Mixed Messages – “ The revolutionary struggle of the cherries was squashed as they were trapped between two layers of chocolate. May their memory live on in your mouth!” Description of an ice cream flavor called Cherry Guevara, named after cult rebel Che Guevara. reblog: David Ocker, Quoted in this NYT review of this book (p.29).
Firing tenured teachers can be a costly and tortuous task – Los Angeles Times – “The eighth-grade boy held out his wrists for teacher Carlos Polanco to see. He had just explained to Polanco and his history classmates at Virgil Middle School in Koreatown why he had been absent: He had been in the hospital after an attempt at suicide….”
Internet Archive: Details: Alan Morse Davies – Fumeux Fume – Field recordings of fairground organs stretched into a vast organic landscape. This follows on from my 2007 work “Amusement Park Phases”, but is calmer and more meditative, allowing more breathing space for the sound, and for the listener.For fans of process, this piece takes a single 2 minute recording, layers it in canons 11 deep each apart by around 1 second, stretches that recording to 1 hour but preserving pitch, and overlays it against a copy of itself 55 minutes long, with left and right channels reversed.Recorded 2008.
