Rabbit Hole | David Lindsay-Abaire

#Tuesdaytunes (on Wednesday)
@TieDyeDude I still haven't streamed that Philly radio show that you mentioned a few weeks back, but it led to a revelation tonight. I was listening to a favorite artist of mine that I've posted about before - Stas Thee Boss and remembered she is a radio dj on a west coast public radio station, KEXP. But for some reason, it never occurred to me to try to stream her show...until tonight. And it's great! 👇

Billypar https://www.kexp.org/shows/Street-Sounds/ I'm listening to it now - it's on every Saturday night, but they have the last two episodes available. It's a great mix of old and new hip hop, classic and avant garde. Great for finding new artists, and Stas has already introduced me to so much hip hop and soul through a series of playlists she posts on Spotify called Late Night Sauce: https://open.spotify.com/user/1274906161?si=pz_VNCgZQS2FbMMMkcEKpQ 10h
Billypar And while we're on the topic of music discovery, this week I found out that another British hip hop artist I follow Lex Amor (who I came across via a different hip hop radio-style program on Bandcamp, lol) has a 35 hour (!) playlist on her Spotify page called AMOR that seems amazing. It's more chill and has a blend of hip hop, r&b, and soul. She's also a DJ, but maybe that goes without saying 🎧🎙 10h

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Much ADO about Nothing | William Shakespeare

A comedy in which tragedy is narrowly avoided by manipulating others into thinking that a tragedy has occurred. Hmm…quite interesting. Leonato‘s soliloquy in Act V, Scene I was the most effective part to me, full of seeming anguish despite the fact he knows his daughter isn‘t dead- the real emotion seems to come from her ruined reputation. ⬇️

psalva All the drama easily avoidable via a few simple conversations of course, but I suspended disbelief and enjoyed the ride in the end. It‘s been a while since I‘ve read a Shakespeare play and this was an interesting one to dip back into. 1w

Tom Lake is on my tbr. I understand it refers to Our Town a few times. This was a quick read. Good to be knowledgeable of this classic I‘m sure.

dabbe I read TOM LAKE first (LOVED it) ... then I had to go back and reread OUR TOWN. (LOVED it way more than I did in high school!) 🤩 1w
vivastory I just checked out Tom Lake from the library. Really looking forward to it 1w
CogsOfEncouragement @dabbe parts of Our Town seemed a little familiar to me, mostly the stage manager. I‘m not sure if I saw the play eons ago or if there is just a similar narrator in something else I saw. Definitely glad I read it though. 1w

CogsOfEncouragement @vivastory enjoy! It‘s on my shortlist, but you know how that can go. lol 1w
vivastory I checked out 8 other books at the same time, so I definitely understand lol I am wanting to make it a priority. I read Patchett for the first time over the Thanksgiving holidays last year & Dutch House ended up as a favorite of the year 1w
CogsOfEncouragement @vivastory Dutch House made my top reads list of 2023 as well. 1w

This was a quick read but very dull and I didn‘t connect with any of the characters. 🎓

A Midsummer Night's Dream | William Shakespeare

My son has been assigned Shakespeare for the first time. 🤎 I decided we needed to read outside with fairy lights. My husband and I read from these two copies of mine from college, while my son read his parts from his copy from school. We had snacks and the weather was lovely. I can't wait to start Act 2 and meet Puck again.

Ruthiella What a wonderful family activity! 😃 2w
Clare-Dragonfly How lovely! 2w

3/5
Soft pick. Feel-good read with humorous parts, some rom-com, it could easily be the next Hallmark movie. I've read it at the beginning of March, and I had to read the summary to refresh my memory, so it didn't leave much of an impact... No wow effect, but an enjoyable read nonetheless. Perhaps some of you could choose it as a palate cleanser.
