Watching Thelonious Monk play piano is like witnessing a great painter at work. He once said this about his art: "Don't play everything, or every time; let some things go by… What you don't play can be more important than what you do."

Principle And Dignity
Currently digging: playing the elevator game with my daughter, Soul Jazz's Dreads Enter the Gates With Praise compilation, Fiona Hill, mid-day naps, the writing of Slavoj Žižek, dumplings for dinner, reading to my daughter, the many people's uprisings happening globally, Coltrane's Blue World, and the final season of Mr. Robot.
Not digging: the continued destruction of my city at the hands of vulture capitalists and their political enablers, false friends, Devin Nunes (who recently knocked Mitch McConnell from the top of my 'most punchable faces' list), Turkey's attempted eradication of real democracy in Rojava, the dumpster fire that is West Ham's season, and as always the MTA.
