ABOUT TIME!
-
The University of Rochester announced that effective July 1 it is extending benefit coverage to opposite-sex domestic partners, as it does for same-sex partners of its employees.
Opposite-sex partners had not been eligible for benefits, which include health care, retirement, tuition and a home ownership incentive program.
The university has 20,340 employees, making it the largest employer in the region. Approximately 85 same-sex couples had been recognized by the university as domestic partners. UR spokeswoman Sharon Dickman said it wasn’t known how many opposite-sex couples would apply for recognition. She said the university would not disclose how much the expanded benefits program would cost.
Seligman said that including opposite-sex domestic partners was “the right thing to do. … This approach to our benefit policy reflects our university’s fundamental commitment to diversity and to fairness for all of our employees regardless of sexual orientation.”

Squanto - The View From There (live at home)
I was bored this afternoon so I took a video of myself playing some music while my parents were still at work. here it is check it out before I get self-conscious and delete it etc. this song is “the view from there,” and if you want to hear a better version you can download or buy the album on my bandcamp page.
going to a screening of this tomorrow, with a live performance of the score. should be pretty great.

White Fir - Lead Burns Red (excerpt) (from Lake Seeds Vol. 2: An Afternoon in the Hair of the Earth)
- White Fir - Lake Seeds Vol. 2: An Afternoon In the Hair of the Earth - like strings and field recordings found in a small wooden box buried under a tree.
- The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore - turns out I really like a Smashing Pumpkins album? before this I had only heard Siamese Dream and a handful of their other singles and sort of assumed that their stuff was mostly just 90s meathead rock that gradually accumulated layers of hubris as they went on. and that I hated most of it. this is totally different from what I expected, way darker and more subdued. I still hate Billy Corgan’s voice most of the time (and I still think he’s a stupid weirdo) but I’m really surprised at how much I’ve been enjoying this and wanting to listen to it again.
- Grimes - Visions - not sure yet if anything really matches “Oblivion” and “Genesis” but yeah this is great, as expected.
- Donovan Quinn - Honky Tonk Medusa - Your Wicked Man took a while to settle in and reveal how great it was, and I’m expecting this new one will be the same, though it sounds pretty great already apart from some weird/unbalanced mixing in the first few tracks. looking forward to holing up and spending more time with this once it gets colder.
- Carlo Gesualdo - Madrigaux a 5 voix (Les Arts Florissants) - not going to pretend to be knowledgeable on this stuff, but this is a super impressive recording of some really dark, fascinating, and gorgeous renaissance music. the ensemble manages to make all of gesualdo’s weird chromatic shifts and twists sound completely natural, letting the listener focus on how beautiful and complex the music itself is instead of how difficult it must be to perform.
