Great great great article from NYTimes about contemporary female artists in China. Here are a few of them:

NYC half marathon
July 30, 2008
Can’t you tell how much fun I was having? This was the most difficult of the half dozen or so half-marathons I’ve done. I can blame it on the weather, the hilly course for the first 6 miles through Central Park, but the truth is that I wasn’t mentally ready for the race.
Music in my mind: Jello and Silk mixes, Steinski “what does it all mean”, Steve Reich “Drumming”, Brian Eno “Apollo”, D. Bowie “Janine”
Photo censorship in Iraq
July 29, 2008
Am I surprised that photojournalists were kicked out of Iraq after American military commanders deemed their photos too real or graphic? No. But it is abominable and beyond silly that this day in age, when nearly anyone can buy a digital camera, there are “only half a dozen Western photographers were covering a war in which 150,000 American troops are engaged.” Read this article.

Hiromi’s Sonic Bloom

Hiromi in bloom
Last night at Blue Note we saw Hiromi’s Sonic Bloom staring, a jazz quartet starring Hiromi Uehara. On piano, she’s freakishly fast, scary schizophrenic, and all around super humanly. On the mic, and afterwards when I talked to her, she’s soft spoken, cute, and aloof.
