After spending four days in Knoxville TN at #BigEars, I’m tempted to ask our local weekly paper to give me back my old column**, specifically so I could wage a bitter vendetta against Duke Arts, the org that, at one time, had a performing arts series (Duke Performances) that was the envy of the entire southeast, only to piss it away in favor of the most anodyne pablum imaginable.

** a column I gave up literally 30 years ago

My #BigEars 2025 recap: walked 27 miles over four days. Saw complete sets by:

Yo La Tengo
Jeff Parker ETA 4tet
Eiko Ishibashi
Steve Roach
Suss
Mary Lattimore & William Tyler
Marisa Anderson
Rufus Wainwright

And partial sets by:

Shelley Hirsch
Alan Sparhawk
Ryan Clackner’s Existential Dread
Adam Rudolph
Brighde Chaimbeul
Cowboy Sadness
Anohni and the Johnsons
Flore Laurentienne
Still House Plants
Squanderers (Grubbs/Kramer/Eisenberg)
Phantom Orchard (Zeena Parkins/Ikue Mori)
Magic Tuber Stringband
Lonnie Holley
Edsel Axle
Joan As Police Woman

I wish that ratio of full:partial was reversed, but these kinds of “eleven competing sets simultaneously, spread across a 1.5-mile distance” festivals make it hard.

I did realize that my attention and focus kicked in to high gear on Saturday evening, about four days into my vacation. Maybe next year I’ll just take the whole week off so that the vacation focus dividend happens on the first night rather than the third . . .

Oh! Also: ate five meals at Knoxville’s best restaurant, Potchke, plus three biscuit sessions with the nicest man in Knoxville, Matt Robb.

Suzie has heterochromia. I've never seen two colours in one eye. She's my new best friend.

A 2 dimensional grey elephant, it's head turned slightly to the left, it's tail swishing, it's ears opened with tusks long and sharp, a trunk not far from the ground, looking for food stands against a white backdrop. This is not a real-life elephant though but one which has been created from flowers.

The whole world is terrible but I am still looking forward to #BigEars in #Knoxville later this month. I do fear that many/most of the international artists slated to appear will either [justifiably] cancel or, worse, get turned away at the border, or thrown in border jail :(
