In 1930, while on a trip to the UK, the father of modern neurosurgery Harvey Cushing operated on a monkey in the lab of his friend Sir Charles Sherrington, the famed neurologist. This is a very brief note describing that operation.

This is from Chapter 17 of HARVEY CUSHING, A Biography, by John Fulton (1946). The entire 40 hour unabridged narration will soon be available from Audible.

a little something that I couldn't help create because of finneas' beautiful score for 'disclaimer'...it could never match the soul of his music but it was fun connecting each pattern to the next!

Hymn of the Trout was composed by Samuel Sjostedt in 2024 for Mivos String Quartet during the Vienna Contemporary Composers Festival.

I thought I was writing a book about the baritone roles in the operas of Giuseppe Verdi. But it became increasingly clear that I was writing a book about myself. So I turned it into a memoir, the story of my mid-life coming out, the refashioning of my marriage, my coming to terms with misogyny and toxic masculinity, all told from the perspective of opera. This chapter is about one of Verdi’s rare baritone good guys, Simon Boccanegra. I use his story to explore the death of my mother and my relationship with my children.

I've been on this kick lately posting short isolated tracks of previously uploaded full songs, just to highlight certain parts. In this one, it's an isolated section of the vocal track & harmonies, with a bit of percussion. Here's a link to the full song, a cover of the infectious "It's All Right" by Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions. I'm really not much of a fan of my own voice, but had some fun playing around with this one. :)

The full song details are at the linked page:

This is another example of an excerpt of a previously uploaded track, originally written by steve vervaet, and performed by the Eclectic Collective. In this stripped down excerpt, it's just focusing on the organ part that comes in at the second half of the song, as well as Josh playing bass and electric piano, and Ken accompanying on the percussion. 

Here's a link to the full version, including all the guys playing along to Steve's heartfelt vocals:

Please Come Home (ISOLATED organ + piano & bass)

Dr. Ilic works in the hospital for compulsory treatment of alcoholics. By conducting his own "special treatment" through physical exercises, apple eating, the healing effects of listening to Wagner's music and psychodrama, a group of six patients have been taken to visit the brewery where there is a problem of alcoholism in the workplace. The events that followed reveal that the doctor used his own way of treatment in order to express his own essentially despotic and hypocritical personality.

Sanity’s boring, harmony's a joke,
I built my throne out of everything broke.

This is blues exorcism for cursed souls. Heavy psych riffs dragged through ash. Basement doom jams that sound like they’re melting from the inside.

This is not good music. It’s honest noise.
Unlovable, unmarketable, undeniable.

Guitar wankage in its purest form.

If you get it, welcome!
If not, you were never meant to...   Haha, guitar go Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Climate Stories Project (CSP) is an educational and artistic forum for sharing personal stories about the effects of climate change on our lives and communities. CSP focuses on personal oral histories, which bring an immediacy to the sometimes abstract nature of climate change communication. Some of us may recount dramatic events such as floods and wildfires, or we may address our observations of changes in seasonal patterns and our fears for the future of our families and communities. We may discuss how climate change is forcing our communities to adapt to extreme weather and sea level rise. Or we may speak about how we are getting involved in the movement to fight the fossil fuel industry through community organizing or nonviolent protest.There is no "right" way to talk about climate change, as it is a vast topic that is increasingly touching every corner of our lives. CSP also facilitates educational workshops where students learn to speak about their own responses to climate change and interview guest speakers about theirs. In addition, some climate stories are featured in music and soundscape projects that allow audiences to witness the effects of climate change in a novel way.

Tadeo produces introspective, emotionally driven tracks primarily shared on SoundCloud. His work blends personal vulnerability with cultural references, often drawing from his San Antonio roots and passions like the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. Based on an analysis of over 20 tracks promoted via X posts and available descriptions/lyrics snippets from SoundCloud, Vega's music explores a narrow but potent set of themes: heartbreak and loss, personal ambition and resilience, sports fandom, and fleeting romance. His style appears raw and confessional, using music as a "canvas" for "deepest emotions," as noted in his SoundCloud bio


Unlock the hidden depths of your soul through the power of music, where emotions find a voice and thoughts take flight. For me, music is more than just a melody; it's a canvas where I paint my deepest suppressed thoughts and feelings. Each chord, each lyric serves as a cathartic release, laying bare the innermost workings of my mind. Join me in this journey of vulnerability and authenticity, where music becomes the language of our unspoken truths. Together, let's weave a tapestry of emotions through the symphony of our shared experiences. 🎶🌌

Thanks to those who believed in me. You know who you are.  🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
