Awesome recommendations, thanks! Was able to find the Valerie Project soundtrack album on YouTube in its entirety. The first track or two is reminiscent of The Mars Volta without the frenzy. Enjoying the heck out of all the tracks though.
In 2008 or so The Hot Club of San Franscisco[0] (gypsy jazz/hot jazz a la Django Reinhardt) played a live accompaniment to some work by the silent film actor/comedian Charley Bowers[1]. It was definitely one of the better performances I've ever seen/heard. What a perfect juxtaposition, not even taking into account the obvious caliber of the musicianship.
Ever since I've been on the lookout for similar "soundtrack" concerts, improvised or composed. A live rendition of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" orchestrated by a Denver jazz guitarist is another favorite.
Really sorry to read that. Hope things improve for you. My wife attempted suicide a few times last year. Thankfully things have stabilized since, but I had been contingency planning for life afterwards just to stay sane. I don't think there's a good way to deal with the crap...
Edit: Forgot to add Codex 99, '...an occasionally updated website about art, design and history, except when it’s about something else altogether."

It doesn't look like a review. Found at the bottom of the page: "This is the sixth in a series of conversations on consciousness between Riccardo Manzotti and Tim Parks."
Yes, thanks for sharing. "If You Can: How Millennials Can Get Rich Slowly" is a great primer. The author also provides the names of several other books to read and the order in which to read them. I've learned a lot following his plan.
Totally agree with the last sentence. I had to relocate due to some family health issues and was able to renegotiate my existing position into a remote one.
