I WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR THIS DAY

If Bright Eyes can be grateful, anybody can. Today, Moistworks takes a break from cutting critical analysis *and* maudlin navel-gazing to wish everyone -- yes, even "waters" -- a happy four-day weekend with this quickie post. I'm sorry, but from what I understand it takes approximately 58 hours to cook a turkey and I have to get started. If you have time to kill while roasting your own bird, why not check out this terrific interview with Steve Reich on Pitchfork today? I love working for a website that has room for thoughtful interviews with experimental composers *and* videos of monkeys pissing in their own mouths. That review makes a lot more sense if you listen to Jet while you "read" it; similarly, you're encouraged to listen to the following composition as you read the Reich interview:
COME OUT (recorded in 1966)
