😢Ryū Murakami, the Japanese novelist, artist and filmmaker best known for authoring the critically acclaimed counterculture novel "Almost Transparent Blue," has died. He was 74. Murakami died Oct. 17 at his home in Tokyo, his longtime publisher, Gentosha, announced on its website Friday, Oct. 23. The publisher, in a statement written in Japanese, said his family had already held funeral services and that they "respectfully" decline "condolence money, floral tributes, condolence telegrams, and memorial offerings." The statement also requests privacy for the family.

Mach‘s gut, Bachkanal! Nach dem heutigen Tag wird MDR Klassik eingestellt. Der Radiosender, den mein Opa hörte, zu dem ich zuletzt viele Texte geschrieben habe, eines der wenigen Radios, das klassische Musik nicht nur »zum Träumen und Entspannen« spielt, sondern ernst nimmt & über »Die kleine Nachtmusik« hinausdenkt. MDR Klassik war der einzige Sender, der gezielt die im Wortsinn weltumstürzende Kulturgeschichte Mitteldeutschlands wach hielt, der sich genauso gezielt um alte Musik kümmerte. Kurz: Ausgerechnet in Zeiten, in denen die Besinnung auf das zivilisatorisch Wertvolle wichtiger wird, wird ein quicklebendiges Archiv, ein Leuchtturm dessen eingestellt. Der Sender war, ganz sicher, eine Nische. Mir erscheint das am Leben halten dieser Nischen wichtiger denn je. Wenn das nicht Programmauftrag des ÖRR ist, was dann? Wir werden uns noch nach solchen Orten zurücksehnen. Falls das jemand vom MDR-Klassik-Team liest: Sie haben wunderbares Radio gemacht. Danke dafür & farewell! 🫶🏼

After Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels dissolved, Mitch formed a new band called simply Detroit. Grand Funk Railroad's is still my favorite cover of "Gimme Shelter" but this one's close, real close. Produced by Bob Ezrin! (Alice Cooper, KISS, Lou Reed) youtu.be/kJ9vlZOQIy8?si=jP0Q…

The music that became Sweet, Sweet Spirit has been with me for a great many of my 89 years on this planet. May it bring you the same joy, comfort, and healing that it has brought me. For your consideration, #PlanetElegance #SweetSweetSpirit @RecordingAcad 📸: Paul Rivera

60 years ago today, John Coltrane recorded “Om” A fearless journey into spiritual jazz, sound, and improvisation. It remains one of his most intense and visionary works.

This is quite wonderful And I have to admit, I'd forgotten all about it ! Old age...
John Cleese is referred to Prevent and hauled before Officer Pilate of the Department of Hurty Words for questioning over his online conduct. The allegations are serious. The bureaucracy surrounding the interrogation is rather less so. {satire}

Today we celebrate the birthday of a musician I deeply admire: Oscar Pettiford. I recorded my album "Stardust" as a tribute to him... Listen to it here: ow.ly/mWHs50T3k5c

Dinosaur Jr is one of the most important bands in my life and was largely responsible for sending me down certain paths I went down when I found their music as a kid and it brings me great pleasure to say the new album rips and I just love hanging out in their sound world.
