From yesterday, on the Paris Review‘s blog, read Dean Wareham’s account of playing his Galaxie 500 oeuvre in Tokyo, 20 years after he was initially supposed to (he had quit the band, and the promoter didn’t know). I’ve been reading his tour diaries on the Luna and Dean and Britta sites since the early 2000s, so it was cool to find this up there. His book, Black Postcards, is excellent, too, if you’re looking for a brutally honest rock ‘n roll memoir.

The Joy of Quiet
I think this editorial was mentioned on The Rumpus. I finally got to read it today, and it reminded me of what to do to avoid being depressed and frantic.

Here’s a cool article from Courtney Maum in Tin House about why we writers should always go to readings as much as we can. Six reasons. The main one: It makes our own writing better. And, there’s a list of Maum’s favorite New York City readings highlighted at the end. Solid.

A Love Supreme: Live
Open Culture posted these videos from the John Coltrane quartet’s only live performance of A Love Supreme, ever, in Antibes, France, 1965. You can hear the full recording of it on the deluxe reissue of A Love Supreme. The whole second disc is devoted to it, and it’s totally worth a listen. It’ll take you into the stratosphere.
