the memory palace - Episode 67: Every Night Ever
This episode was originally released in summer of 2015.
Music
* Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth’s Modesty Blaise score.
* Then, we have the most obvious crickets/summer night song ever: the fantastic, perpetually delightful Green Arrow from Yo La Tengo’s I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, which has soundtracked many crickety summer nights for me over the years.
* The cops roll in to a loop of the very beginning of the epic Ptah, the El Daoud, the title track to Alice Coltrane’s album from 1970.
* Then we have a mix of two improvisations from Charles Cohen’s “Brother I Prove You Wrong”: Cloud Hands and The Boy and the Snake Dance.
* There’s a brief dip into Dorian, by Fang Island.
* The jaunty accordion, typewriter thing is Biking is Better on Wintergatan’s eponymous album.
Notes
I researched this one primarily through old newspapers. The easiest place to find a number of them is to read the excellent site, The Museum of Hoaxes’ page on this event. Also: if you’re in the Atlanta area and ever want to have yourself a day, you can see the actual monkey. It’s preserved in a jar at the Georgia Bureau of Investigations museum in Decatur Georgia.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Boston Massacre
On March 5, 1770, one of the major events leading up to the American Revolution occurred.
A confrontation between Boston civilians and British soldiers resulted in the deaths of five Americans.
While the events of that day helped spur the cause of American independence, the events which happened after helped determine what kind of country it was to be.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Magnetic Pole Reversal
Once every 450,000 years or so, the Earth undergoes a radical transformation.
The planet’s magnetic field will literally flip. The north pole becomes the south pole and vice versa.
Despite the fact that we know this has happened many times in the Earth’s history, we really don’t know what would happen if the poles were to reverse today.
Learn more about when the Earth’s magnetic poles reverse on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
