The Transcontinental vows to be the blogosphere's Adorno defender.

Hmm, the Bay Bridge is closed again after the Labor Day repair has apparently failed. I start regularly commuting over a bridge for the first time starting Tuesday but I think/hope my bridge is more reliable. At least I don't live or work on Treasure Island. And McSweeney's is co-sponsoring an effort to investigate the new Bay Bridge.

Summer Is Coming In has discovered Operabase, a database of opera performances.

The Respect Sextet has that double bill album with the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen and Sun Ra. So far, I greatly prefer the Sun Ra e.g. Angels and Demons at Play.

I can't get enough of Ty Forquer playing David Lang's Anvil Chorus. Vivid, insistent percussion.
