Одного дня Доктор Хто підібрав #AlanLomax. Минуле? Майбутнє? Звичайно...

Потім вони розбили #Tardis у нашому часовому блоці.

Він приземлився, як танк.

Вони вирішили задокументувати його ремонт відповідно до наших звичаїв.

Ось і все, власне.

Captain Betty Davis & #SimilarGirls are back from a critical mission: Retrieve Alan Lomax from the Fragment.

Your fingernails are stuck, holding fast in bloodshed, yet still slipping.

How to navigate our shared nightmare, transit out of our collective fever dream.

You'll need a map. You'll need a guide.

You'll need a manual.

One man recorded over 17,000 traditional folk songs to preserve the true sound of America Thanks to Alan Lomax, we can hear the original sounds of traditional American music: from blues out of the Mississippi Delta, to jazz and mountain ballads, and everything in between.

Renowned as the most prolific #folk-song #collector of all time, #AlanLomax collected traditional music that was being threatened by the homogenizing 20th-century recording industry.

As well as the music that folklorists like #JohnLomax and his son #AlanLomax, in important work for the #Library of Congress, identify as having European, Mexican, and other origins. That's #America. Research for the book relied on government records: county offices, #libraries, #NationalArchives.

From the Alan Lomax collection: Belton Sutherland, Blues #1. Utterly amazing.

Obituary: Alan Lomax Dedicated chronicler of America's musical traditions.

"In 1932, with Alan only 17, the two undertook what was then the most ambitious musicological field trip ever embarked on in the United States, a grueling, four-month expedition..."

#AlanLomax travelled the world in search of music. His experience led him to realize that music had been tamed by the music corps & radio. Like a great forest that has been whittled down to just a few trees.

That unknown artists were just as poignant & powerful as the known.

#SongHunter
/3

Alan Lomax travelled the world, recording the unknown musicians across Europe and elsewhere. He has been called the "Song Hunter", a music anthropologist who saved music from monopolization. He has been found in the #Fragment, brought up to speed on the world's current state, and given an army of musicians to sonically sue the world for peace. His Info Body has arisen, made Admiral, and now endeavors to free Ukraine from bondage. Endeavors to save free democracy from those who subvert its promise. Alan Lomax, the Song Hunter, has been reconstituted.

We four. The failing. The falling.

We must find our way.

Let us gather, we the backsliders.

Didn't you hear? Listen more closely.

Admiral #AlanLomax has given orders.

The music we four must make together in the coming days, our protest songs, to find our better ways.
