Oh how neat!
I'm definitely there on the 25th of January because I am currently obsessed with Kae Tempest (finished listening to their new record "The Book of Lessons and Traps" for the umpteenth time this month about 10 minutes ago, in fact).
Sounds like a cool thing to do. I don't know if I have the time or inclination to deal with the films, but the reading is workable. And of course I already have "the Sensual World," which IIRC was the first CD I ever bought when I started moving away from vinyl, way back in whenever it came out in the 80s.

I looked at that earlier and decided it was not for me.
I am still holding out for fine weather and beaches open so I can feed my soul by going swimming.

That looks good.
I was surprised, years ago, to have a room of English 14 yr old girls get really passionate about Maya Angelou's "I Rise." I'd selected it to show how a poem can have rhythm without rhyme, and they really liked it.

Agree with Liiisa - I probably won't do the longer things on the list, or maybe just not on the day they're linked to... but thought it might get me out of my reading funk that I'm in.
(Also agree on Kate Tempest... )

Interesting collection. Not sure I’d do every day, but some definitely look interesting

I just listened to today's, since I love that monologue from Richard II, and she did do a good job of it!

Lots of good stuff there.
You can't go wrong with the entry for Jan 6th.
I can go to just about any NPR Tiny Desk Concert and feel my mood improve.
And they've got Kae Tempest on the 25th, can't go wrong with that.

I only realised in this thread that it's Kae, not Kate.
Was there a name change?

Yes, they announced name change and nonbinariness (?) a short while ago.
I did end up listening to "Lessons and Traps" and I did end up crying
