It's uh, May 3rd, 2021 it's 8:45 PM. Minnesota time, 9:45 PM. Pittsburgh time, obviously here with Gerelle Porter from my, uh, high school, you know, um, how we, we met playing football right. Gerelle Porter (00:18): Yeah definitely playing football Henry Bump (00:18): Class or something like that? Gerelle Porter (00:21): Yeah uh didn't we I Don't know. Henry Bump (00:24): Maybe it was like gym or something. Yeah. Both of us were probably, we were kind of tidde at hoops. I remember that. I know I was, 1 Gerelle Porter (00:33): And I don't know man. I just trying to do a little bit of everything Henry Bump (00:37): Swear now. Obviously the rapper music maker. That's why we find ourselves here today. And, um, so I'm doing my, a little COVID-19 project and it's like how, sort of the pandemic has changed the way that you make music. And obviously in the live performing industry, a lot of things have been rattled. And so I just wanted to talk about a few things like that. You just want to sorta first off, introduce yourself, tell the people what you like to make, stuff like that about yourself as an artist. Gerelle Porter (01:06): All right. Uh, well, uh, I, as you say my name is Gerelle. Uh, my rap nameI was going by automatic. Um, I've been rapping for probably about two years now. I rapped started probably like the senior year of high school, 2019. Um, I was probably closer towards my graduation though, when I really started to like branch off into the music, uh, phase of my life. So, um, I really got fond of, you know, trying to be as versatile as possible, you know, trying to open up and, you know, do as much as I possibly can, you know, uh, try to do, you know, the, turnt up party songs, you know, do the emotional songs, you know, hit the heart hit the soul, you know, I try to do the relationships like the songs, you know, I wanted to get a vibe basically that was what my thing was. Yeah. Henry Bump (01:54): That's what's up. I remember the time that I like first started listening to yourself or was like, really like peeping it, and whatnot, it was whenever you were making those trillers. And I think what was the one that you first made? It was for like, I think it was for levels. Right? Was It that? 2 Gerelle Porter (02:09): Yeah it definitely was levels. Henry Bump (02:12): Yeah. Right. I think it's like crazy now because a lot of what people do on social media is like marketing their music. Do you think that way, when did you start realizing that? Like, okay, I gotta use social media as a way to platform and branch out my music. Gerelle Porter (02:27): I mean, for me it was a little different, like, because I have been doing like a lot more different things in like the social media world and like the advertising world early on way before I even did music. And like I was doing like affiliate marketing and stuff like that. So I already knew that like how to run ads to, you know, how to generate that and how to generate that income, you know, monetize out certain things, you know? And then, uh, with like really getting into music, I seen that social media was really how people was doing it. Now you have to get that attention. You have to do something that's, you know, eye catching something. That's going to grab that attention. Yeah. Henry Bump (03:03): You think it distracts at all away from making music at times. Gerelle Porter (03:07): Yeah. Uh, it was, you could get distracted a lot and some of the things like, uh, you really got into it, you only get what you put in, so you gotta be willing to put that time. And even when you do get distracted. Yeah. Henry Bump (03:22): 3 Sorry. I remember you were always a big reader and always like posted the books on social media and everything. Trying to give everybody else the keys. Do you think that's like an important part of using it. Gerelle Porter (03:33): Uh, yeah, for me personally, I feel like, you know, expanding your mind as much as you possibly can, will help you in all phases of life, you know, and all, you know, branches, you know, just gaining as much knowledge as possible as an asset, because you never know where you might be in five or 10 years. You know, I'm doing music now, but who's to say, come two years from now. I won't be doing real estate or, you know, going to be in another field. So it's just good to try and get a basis for everything. Henry Bump (03:59): Yeah. Well, first, what made you first want to get into music then? Gerelle Porter (04:03): Uh, honestly just, it started off as a joke. Like it was started off as a joke. We were, um, playing on this app, uh, rapchat. We was like dissing each other. Like we used to diss each other, like every day, come to school, you know, come back to dice. Um, show each other are rap and stuff like that, but just be dissin. And then one day I just decided, just try just a random beat on YouTube. And it was better than I thought it was then, uh, I ended up going to my friend Hardy's house and, uh, like to talk, like, I think it was like a day or two before we graduated, I went to his house and somebody else in the city had dropped, uh, had dropped a song and I had tried to make a song like to they beat, but I couldn't find that one beat. And he had found that beat. So I went over his house and I ended up like, we in there rapping, a bunch of stuff in the way of saying like, we might as well just rap. Let's try it. Like, let's just see what happens. And here we are now. Henry Bump (05:00): 4 So it was YouTube started doing it together. And then now you guys are still like making the same videos and stuff together now. Gerelle Porter (05:07): Yeah. It's been two years now, but, Same thing. Henry Bump (05:13): Did you guys know each other before dice or did you meet him at dice? Gerelle Porter (05:17): Oh, no. I've known him probably since like, I dunno. Probably be like seventh, eighth grade. I mean, I did know him through like a little league because we played little league football and we used to played each others team and stuff like that. Uh, okay. Okay. Henry Bump (05:32): Do you think like working together has been something that's like kind of like catalyzed, both of it like pushed you guys both a little bit to go harder. You think? Gerelle Porter (05:41): Oh yeah. Most definitely. I know for a fact us being there and us being around each other, uh, it definitely did a lot for us because even this year we had went through like a rough patch. We wasn't talking. Right. But we were still, you, you know, just take a bunch of just support just to make sure, you know, like, okay, we're not talking. Why not we communicating? Even if we're not cool. We still want to see each other win, you know? Yeah. This was the during the pandemic, a couple of little things happened. We had like some inner turmoil and stuff like that, you know? So, uh, we just ended up, you know, just not talking for about a month , sometime like that. And eventually we just got back. So, but it 5 was one of the things like we knew we had to handle business. Like this is not, we want to be professionals at the end of the day. So we understand that even if we fighting each other, we still gotta understand that we gotta work together. Henry Bump (06:36): So when did you start? Like when did it, when did it change from being like something freestyling for fun? That you're like to something that you're now looking at as a career. What flipped it? Gerelle Porter (06:49): Was so weird. Like the jump from, for fun to like, okay, like let's really do this where it's like, the change was so subtle, but it was so quick because I remember like we didn't even get into the stu for like the whole first month we was just making songs on our phone, just recording off our phones or like off the laptops we had in our house, stuff like that. Henry Bump (07:12): Yeah. Gerelle Porter (07:13): Excuse me. But, uh, uh, one of his friends had called him and said, uh, I got a studio session on the south side.

    PLAYING AGAINST THE ROLES SCENE 1 Scene 1. The roof of Daniel and Estrella’s old apartment complex. DANIEL: Estrella! Why did you want to meet here? We’re going to miss the party! ESTRELLA: Can you believe how much this place has changed? DANIEL: I don’t even recognize it. ESTRELLA: It’s all so… white. It used to be filled with smells and sounds and people. DANIEL: Like the sounds of my terrible violin playing. ESTRELLA: I remember the smells that came from those windows. Mi abuela cooking (She pauses and smells the air) mole and fresh tortillas, and elote, and capirotada. DANIEL and ESTRELLA: and that awful Posole. They both make a face. DANIEL: We played for hours. ESTRELLA: With my Barbies. DANIEL: They were rich. ESTRELLA: and they had a swimming pool and like 10 kids and they always fought. DANIEL: Like my mom and dad. Before he left… ESTRELLA: but remember… we would run away and sneak out. DANIEL: And just lay up here and just look at the stars. They sit in silence remembering the past. DANIEL: You know… in a new place, you can be anyone you want. ESTRELLA: Easy for you to say, ”Dannie Beckerman football star.” (She laughs to herself) DANIEL: Speaking of… that party. You promised you’d come. ESTRELLA: I know. Just one more minute. 1 Scene 2 Scene 1. Friday Night. A teenage house party. We hear bumpin music, perhaps something by Drake or Kanye. DANIEL AND ESTRELLA enter the party. There are groups of mostly McGregor High School students scattered about the room laughing and talking loudly.

    Funk the Clock: Transgressing Time While Young, Prescient and Black A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Rahsaan Mahadeo IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisers: David Pellow and Joyce Bell August 2019 © 2019 Rahsaan Mahadeo Acknowledgements Pursuing a PhD has at times felt like the most selfish endeavor I have ever undertaken. For I knew that every book I read and every paper I wrote was largely for personal gain. Not coming from academic lineage or economic privilege, I could not escape the profound sense of guilt of leaving so many behind in the everyday struggle to live, labor and learn in a school that is less of a land-grant institution and more of a land-grab institution; an educational system that is more private than public; a corporation that presents students with more educational opportunists than educational opportunities; a sea of scholarship that looks more like colonizer ships; and a tower that is as anti ebony as it is ivory. Most know it as the “U of M,” when it is really the U of empire. Here, I would like to take the opportunity to counter the university’s individualistic and neoliberal logic to thank several people who have helped me cope with the challenges of living, learning and laboring in a space designed without me (and many others) in mind. Thank you to my advisers David Pellow and Joyce Bell for supporting me along my graduate school journey. Though illegible to the university, I recognize and appreciate the inordinate amount of labor you perform inside and outside the classroom.

SKY - NIGHT 1 The sound of an orchestra tuning up. Tilt down from twinkling stars to reveal the most beautiful old theatre in a street heaving with life... ...But not human life. This is a city inhabited entirely by animals. We glide under the illuminated marquee and through the doors into a grand foyer, where the very last patrons hurry to their seats... 2 INT.

My co-host Oliver Wang is away, but will Rhodes be back next week. So today it’s just me; and you are listening to Heat Rocks. Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock, you know, incendiary material, an album that feels like fire shut up in your bones; and today, we will be taking it back together to revisit a compilation record released by ABKCO Records called Sam Cooke: Portrait of a Legend. 00:00:32 Music Music “Nothing Can Change This Love” off the album Portrait of a Legend by Sam Cooke. A slow, tender song. If I go, a million miles away I'd write a letter, each and everyday Cause honey nothing, nothing can ever change this love I have for you 00:01:00 Morgan Host What a beautiful challenge that had to have been, taking a voice like Sam Cooke’s, a career like Sam Cooke’s, a discography like Sam Cooke’s, and a life like Sam Cooke’s, and compiling 30 gems on a project. ABKCO Records did just this, releasing a Portrait of a Legend on June 17th, 2003. The compilation, bookended by two gospel tracks, “Touch The Hem Of His Garment”, and “Nearer to Thee”, covers the years 1951-1964, from Sam’s humble beginnings as one of the stars of an all-star gospel group, the Soul Stirrers, to pop sensationalism, chief crooner, to fallen star, to legend.

    Kevin Barnes Narrator Phil Nusbaum Interviewer May 5, 2010 PN: Phil Nusbaum KB: Kevin Barnes PN: I'm Phil Nusbaum. Kevin Barnes is here. This is part of the Minnesota Bluegrass Oral History Project, and we are at KBEM radio, using the microphones and everything. We are not employed here; we are independent contractors here. KB: But we control the place right now! [Laughing] It is under our control. PN: So, we're here to talk about Kevin's experience in Bluegrass in Minnesota. How did you get started with Bluegrass music? KB: It's funny, because, again, my roots go to Kentucky. I was born in Louisville, Kentucky. I used to travel down, my grandparents lived in western Kentucky, around Hopkinsville, Kentucky - Crofton area, an area that was actually fairly close to Paducah, so, pretty close to where Bill Monroe was from. My uncles - my dad's brothers - were farmers, so, as a kid, I can remember traveling down to the farm, and they'd all be talkin' about the Opry. They'd be talkin' about hearing Mack Wiseman, or they'd be talkin' about, “Oh, did you hear Bill Monroe on last week, and he did this really funny skit.” So, I can even remember as a kid, my family talkin' about Bluegrass music. Before that, and before I played banjo, my grandmother used to talk about her grandmother, actually it's too bad I don't have a - you should see the picture, her name was Algie Hickey from Crofton, Kentucky. She was a seamstress and she was a musician; she was a banjo player, played a 5-string, I've got a photo of her when she's about… PN: This is the grandmother of the grandmother… KB: Yes.

  • Smoke Or Everything We Don't
    SMOKE or EVERYTHING WE DON’T SAY by Amanda Rockhold Amanda Rockhold 8864 United Lane, Apt 22 Athens, OH 45701 [email protected] Characters MARIAH 29, female, recent MFA graduate MILLER 37, male, calm, charming, waiter JJ 19, female, isolated, poet PHILIP 34, MILLER’s best friend, bartender Time June Location Wheeling, West Virginia SCENE 1 Setting: Crossroads, a low-key dive bar. The kind that still let you smoke when it gets late enough. Above the bar are two crummy, one-room apartments. The kind with shared kitchens and bathrooms. One belongs to MILLER, the other to JJ. In MILLER’s abode, there should be a real record player that works. Here there’s also empty beers cans and ash trays. It’s a bachelor pad, but he has taste for what he can get with a server’s income. There’s a mini fridge, an old brown couch, and a sunken-in, greasy red chair. In JJ’s place, empty beer cans. It’s pretty empty. At Rise: 1960s jazz. Lights are dim on PHILIP and MILLER in his place. They’re smoking a joint. Lights up on the bar, where JJ writes in a journal from behind the bar. MARIAH enters the bar, distraught, carrying an old yellow suitcase. MARIAH Are you old enough to pour me a big fucking shot? JJ We don’t open til three p.m. MARIAH The door was unlocked. What time is it? JJ Look, you’re just gonna have to wait. MARIAH I’m just gonna wait here, then. My room at the Super 8 won’t be ready for another hour.
