  • MIDIVAL PUNDITZ Hello Hello
    MIDIVAL PUNDITZ Hello Hello This past decade has been marked by the rise of the Indian electronica scene and no single band has had more influence on its growth than the Midival Punditz. Comprised of New Delhi based producers Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj, the Punditz have been repeatedly heralded as pioneers of a scene that has ushered in some of the freshest global music out of India. On their third studio album Hello Hello, the duo has successfully documented their own personal journey as artists and brought their sound into the present. As India’s influence on the world through music, film and fashion hits a new peak as evidenced by the worldwide popularity of the film Slumdog Millionaire, the Punditz have kept their hands on the wheel and helped steer this ship into a new century of sound and culture. Hello Hello encompasses all the varied worlds in which this producer/DJ team exists – tying them together through a sound that brings International Electronica, Global Pop, Folk, and Indian Classical with modern day song writing. The result is a sound that is uniquely Midival Punditz. For this album, the duo get support from longtime friend and collaborator Karsh Kale, working as co-producer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. The album’s opener, “Electric Universe,” follows in the old tradition of “tonight’s-the-night” style dance hits. The majestic bansuri flute sets up the vocoder lyrics – “this is the night/to turn on the lights/to the universe” – over a sturdy, western dance groove. But at the end of the record, an acoustic version of the same song, with “real” vocals and acoustic guitar by Karsh Kale, turns it into a nocturne – as if to prove that despite all the bells and whistles, in the end it’s all about the song.

After an entire decade spent being held at arm’s length by most major outlets, the ever-increasing influence of bloggers, mixtape aggregators, and Tumblr obsessives finally broke open the gates for the West’s newest crop of rappers to get on the field with everyone else. Odd Future and Lil’ B became the zeitgeists through which Los Angeles and its neighboring cities both became rather weird and rather relaxed, offering us vaudeville performances from Kreayshawn and her White Girl Mob, stoned beach-jams from Dom Kennedy and El Prez, and the ever-challenging roster of instrumental artists drifting through the Low End Theory.

  • Kendrick Lamar's Collapsing of Hip Hop Realness and Christian Identity
    Linder: Kendrick Lamar’s Collapsing of Hip Hop Realness and Christian Ide Kendrick Lamar’s Collapsing of Hip Hop Realness and Christian Identity Matthew Linder Abstract In Danielle S. Macon’s “To Pimp a Caterpillar: Hip Hop as Vehicle to Spiritual Liberation through the Decolonization of European Ideology” about Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly, she identifies Kendrick’s three-step process of liberation for African-Americans through spirituality: exhibition, revelation, and community orientation. I seek to place her analysis of Kendrick’s music within the context of Daniel White Hodge’s exploration of the neo-sacred secular in Hip Hop, a theological concept containing three elements: a belief that God is in all things, viewing life as having good and bad elements, and a rejection of religionism as the only way to God. Firstly, I will explore how Kendrick takes on himself the tropes of Hip Hop and African-American Street life, not to promote their virtues but to subvert them. Secondly, framing Kendrick’s presentation of an alternative identity built on his reframing of two Christian theological concepts: imago dei and identity as found in person and work of Jesus. Lastly, the process through which he bridges the gap between life in poor African-American urban spaces and Christianity to reconstruct Hip Hop realness in terms of sincerity and a common humanity, instead of the artificially-created litmus tests of Hip Hop authenticity. These three elements are then oriented in Kendrick’s music as the spiritual processes through which he strives to liberate himself, Compton, and his African-American community.

  • May 2019 Version
    May 2019 Version Driver License Division Organ, Eye, and Tissue Donation Giving Life a Second Chance All persons receiving a driver’s license, or permit, may register to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor by saying “Yes” when asked, “Do you wish to be an organ donor?” What does that mean? • “Yes” means that you want to give someone a very special gift...a second chance at life. It means you have decided to give organs, eyes, and tissues after your death to a patient awaiting a lifesaving or healing transplant. • Each registration is a legacy which serves as a symbol of hope for the tens of thousands of people waiting nationally. Someone is added to the list every ten minutes, and approximately 20 people will die each day while waiting. Your choice to become an organ donor can make a life-saving difference for these critically ill people. • The decision to donate is a personal one, but one which should be shared with your family. When you say “Yes”, a red heart will be placed in the lower right hand corner of your driver license, indicating your decision to help others. • Your gift remains effective regardless of the status of your license. If you ever have a change of heart, you must request to be removed from the registry by calling Legacy of Hope at 1-800-252-3677. • If you have questions, call the Legacy of Hope at 1-800-252-3677 or visit www.legacyofhope.org. Common Myths about Donation Myth: Becoming a donor will affect my medical care if I am in an accident.
