Definitely might try and catch Elanor Moss in December in London.

This was a recommendation via Sophie Jamieson on other social channels, and this is a gorgeous debut album.

But this from the YMALs is delicious alt folk stuff, Rowena Wise from Melbourne.

On November 10, 2026, the University of Toronto’s School of Cities will host the public launch of the Memories of Black Toronto Project.  We will debut two short films that present powerful stories from Black Toronto in the late 19th century, recreating daily life for Black residents in vivid cinematic detail through generative AI. The project is an interdisciplinary experiment, pairing rigorous archival research with emerging filmmaking technology, to bring “hidden” chapters of the city’s Black history to life. 

Led by SofC Urbanist-in-Residence Kofi Hope, in partnership with Dr. Cheryl Thompson and her platform ArchiveBlack (Formerly known as Mapping Ontario’s Black Archives), a team of researchers, architects and filmmakers spent one year developing these films.  The goal was to explore how to ethically use generative video AI to present stories from Black history we have limited visual record of, in a stunning recreation of Toronto’s past. Every scene was rigorously referenced to actual archival images, maps and news reports. Directed by local filmmaker Matthew Pompey with voice narration from members of the Black community, the project has asked how we can use this new technology to develop visually beautiful, historically accurate narrative stories that to-date have been too cost-prohibitive to be produced by conventional filmmaking.

Born Sept. 27, 1924, Powell helped set the style for jazz piano after WWII. While earlier pianists played busy bass patterns, he helped establish a more fragmented, punctuating role for the left hand.

We Can’t Let the Kaepernick Era Be Erased From History
Critics say the Black Lives Matter movement in sports went too far. In reality, it didn’t go far enough, and the backlash to it has been brutal.
