After waiting for about 4 and a half years, Playboi Carti’s new album, "Music," has landed. The album features 77 minutes of tracks that include high-profile guests, blockbuster features, and new styles in the Atlanta rapper's follow-up to "Whole Lotta Love." @pitchfork has five takeaways from the album:

The #Waitresses – Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful? (1982)

Yeah, yeah, I know what boys like is a good song, but No Guilt! Pussy Strut! Wasn’t Tomorrow Wonderful!

"Shu shu shu shu shut up"

"Scream and screw? NO!"

Killer #bass lines for days.

I love this band.

Once a year I give a workshop on ”posture and breathing for windplayers” organized by Stichting Huismuziek. It’s an organisation that offers all kinds of workshops for amateur musicians.

Today was the first session of this year, we’ll have another afternoon in two weeks. Nice, lively group, recorders, flutes, clarinets, bassoons, oboe and one lone brass player. At the end people looked happy but somewhat confused. :D That’s normal- they’ll have the next two weeks to think about thing, try things out and experiment, and next time we’ll go through everything again.

#Waitresses – I Could Rule The World If I Could Only Get The Parts (1982)

Waitresses are such an interesting band. They're one of those band who you can legit say to others "The song they're msot known for is not their best song."

I borrowed Pekka Laine's and Tommi E. Virtanen's book "Suomalaiset sähkökitaristit" ("Finnish Electric Guitarists") from my local public library a couple of weeks ago. The book came out in 2022, but for some reason I had not picked it up before.

The book has more than 560 pages, and consists of nearly 60 interviews with a very wide selection of prominent rock, pop, roots and jazz players. There are also remembrances of a few key people (Albert Järvinen, Petri Walli, Alexi Laiho) who were no longer available for interview. The oldest interviewee was the old-school session player Heikki Laurila (1934-2021), the most recorded guitarist in Finnish music, with more than 7000 tracks in his résumé. The youngest is the heavy metal guitarist Samy Elbanna (born in 1995).

Some of the interviewees have learned to play on their own, but there are also many players, regardless of the genre, who have had formal musical training. The late 1960s British blues boom, Jimi Hendrix (who played a legendary concert in Helsinki in 1967) and especially Albert Järvinen's role in the Hurriganes (the seminal 1970s Finnish rock & roll band) come up as key influences in many of the interviews with the people who started out in the 1960s and 1970s.

While many of the people obviously have their own individual voices, and there are wildly different personal histories, the interviews have been skillfully edited into a fairly compact format, and overall the book is an easy and entertaining read. I've never played guitar beyond of trying to pluck a few random notes, but reading the book, I got a lot of new insights into guitar playing, the role of practising, technical gear, touring, session work and the life of a musician in general.
