Even those who cri­ ticize it are quick to point out that it has plenty of positive aspects. “The scene is truly eclectic,” said Pawlek. “There’s no one style that makes Santa Barbara’s sound.” Instead of all the local bands sounding alike, as some would argue Seattle’s bands do, Santa Barbara is gaining There are some all-ages clubs in the area, such as the popularity without its bands felling into one category.

When bands get signed, they often go into the studio and become unavailable for local shows.

  • Thinking on 4:44 [DWR, 7.7.17]
    Thinking on 4:44 [DWR, 7.7.17] There is little room for debate in pointing to JAY Z ’s new album as important. The tight, ten-track release – with a bonus three cuts on CD and vinyl – presents as watershed because of popular attending to the vulnerability put center, and because of JAY Z’s deep Black identities that anchor the long play. Bluntly, mainstream isn’t used to the complexity of adult men of color outlining mistakes, assuming responsibility, and maintaining fidelity to their Culture in ways that remain unapologetic while also apologizing to those they’ve hurt. This humanness is publicly relegated to a special-whiteness. So then, when a Black man occupies this human touch he becomes a novelty, ironically objectified with his break from typical objectification and reduction to stereotype. No doubt, JAY is a special one. He is a master artist, a clever businessman and has effectively worked the angles to become iconic without being a clown. The strength of 4:44 is not in the trappings, rather it’s in the letting go. The sub-sixty- minute narrative wins as a statement of psychological balance. It is a release of the shame assumed in trying to fit to that special-whiteness, in performance to the respectability gaze that has us tapping to a rhythm that is not our own. Producer No I.D. pivots from Nina Simone to Donny Hathaway to Stevie Wonder and other thick soul samples as a blueprint for freedom fighting, allowing JAY Z the space to take deep breaths and to be.
